ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The odometer is not working properly, screen continues to flicker and has been progressively getting worse. It seems like is this a common issues with Honda HRVs. It puts me at risk for running out of gas at any point and living in the country doesn't make me feel safe. I've spoken with several HRV owners and each of them have this issue at different millage. The flashing can become very distracting while driving....

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The back (rear) window spontaneously shattered without cause. The vehicle was not in motion at the time of the incident, and nothing stuck the window. The safety of the occupants was put at risk from the pieces of glass which fell throughout the inside of the vehicle. Additionally, if the vehicle was in motion, when this occurred the loud noise of the window breaking may have caused the driver to become distracted and cause an accident. The car is available for inspection, but is scheduled for repair in the next day or two. An insurance claim was filed, but no representative is coming to inspect. There was no notice or warning prior to the window failing.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was traveling roughly 20 mph on a smooth road with no traffic just after 7:00AM . The temperature was in the 30’s (F) and it had snowed so I had the rear defrost setting on. The rear windshield spontaneously shattered, I was not underneath any trees and I did not locate any foreign objects in the trunk or near the rear of the vehicle. Luckily no one was in the back seat or they may have been showered with glass fragments. There was also no traffic on the street or I could have been involved in an accident from the stimulus.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Used my defroster in my car to defrost the front in back windows. Back window completely shattered. Not only did it put myself at risk, it also put others in the road at risk. This could have caused me to be distracted and have an accident or glass could have flown at someone else’s car. There were no warnings that the glass would randomly shatter. I contacted my dealer about this but have not received a response.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I was driving to work this morning and was almost there when I heard a loud noise/smash. I look in my rearview mirror and see the entire rear windshield to be shattered. It shattered on its own, nothing was pelted at my vehicle (I checked the trunk of the car to be sure) and no rear defroster was on when this happened. This is crazy that a recall hasn’t been issued as of yet for this issue since it looks like so many people are having this happen to them. It is not safe and also isn’t something we should be worrying about when having a brand new vehicle.

STEERING
The steering is jerky and clunky at all times - whether the lane departure feature is on or not. The steering wheel requires more effort to overcome needed correction. I have read others have reported the same problem.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
While driving home, I was using my front and rear defroster due to inability to see. Once I was parked at home, I turned off defrosters and then turned off my car. I heard a boom come from the back of my car. I went to inspect and the entire back glass was shattered with a small hole in the glass. There was no collision, nothing thrown at my car, no vandalism. No warnings on my dash prior to use. Thankfully I was safe in my front seat away from the incident and parked in a safe place.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Failure of my Odometer/fuel gauge/ outdoor temp. This dial seems to go blank/black screen! This seems to happen in colder & wet weather. This could be a real SAFETY issue if my car ran out of gas on a 4 lane highway due to not being able to see fuel gauge! Also NOT being able to track mileage for oil changes or mileage for replacing tires! I am willing for NTSB or Honda to inspect my car!
