It is about 50 degrees clear, with no rain. I drive onto the highway and hear what sounds like a gunshot. The Rear window explodes, and then glass flies all over the car; I roll down my window, and then glass goes everywhere, and all my stuff in the car flies around. I pull over and assess; this is the same thing that happened to me last year. The window randomly exploded. I called my insurance company, and they replaced it, but now the glass is stuck in the door. I called three 3 Acuras, and they all mentioned they hadn't heard of the issue until I mentioned the bulletin; now they say they have heard of it before but don't know if there is a way to help. Primary safety concern and a bit of a coverup by Acura

I got in my car and shut the door and as I put the car in reverse, before I could move, I heard a popping sound and then the sound of glass shattering. Immediately put the car back in park and looked back and saw the glass was broken. I learned that Acura/Honda actually has a TSB for this and knows that it's a problem. I contacted them but because my vehicle is 10,000 mi over the warranty they would not do anything. TSB 22-014. If this had happened when I was driving it could have caused a serious accident. I also now have to pay out of pocket to have the windshield replaced.

This morning I awoke to another shattered rear windshield. I had the exact same thing happen in January of this year. This is my second out of cost rear windshield replacement due to the known problem Acura has failed to address. I have spent over 1,000 dollars on replacement glass in addition to my car being in the shop for 3 months waiting for a fuel pump. This is ridiculous, and something needs to be done.

My daughter was scared to stay in the car so we had to call someone to pick them up and give them a ride. The dealership told me my vehicle is no longer under warranty only drivetrain warranty and that it was not their problem to call my insurance is what I got told. Hundreds of others have had the same issue after doing some research online. There was no warning or cracking of any kind before this. Incident happened on 11/17/24 at 7:45pm
