Was stationary in the drive thru line at McDonald's located at 1030 Largo Center Drive, Largo, MD, on Saturday December 6, 2025 around 10:30 pm. I heard a loud noise from the rear of the vehicle that sounded like a gunshot. I turned around, no gunshot, but the entire rear windshield had spontaneously shattered. The noise startled me, but because I was stationary, no issues, but if it had happened while driving, could have been an issue. There was no warning, messages, etc., just the loud noise when it shattered. Again, vehicle was sitting still, no contact with any other vehicles, or objects. Once I got home, parked in garage. Went online, and found out that this was not uncommon. Many incidents have been reported of windshields shattering spontaneously in 2019-2023 Acura RDX vehicles. There has not been a recall, but there is a technical service bulletin 22-014. My wife purchased this vehicle 5/31/2025.

My rear windshield shattered in January 2025 while I was setting in the parking lot of a store. It was replaced in 1\6\2025. Today 12\8\25 my rear windshield shattered again while I was coming out of a store to my vehicle. I talked to the dealership as soon as it happened and they said that Acura knows about it but does not have a recall. So, I looked up about 2019 rear windshield shattering and there are more complaints about this issue, but nothing is being done, and this is dangerous issue because what would happen if I was driving and it shattered.

I got in my car yesterday to pull out of the driveway and heard the rear window wiper turn on. I then heard a cracking sound and noticed that the rear window was cracked and had a small hole near the wiper. The rear wiper moved again as I was turning it off and the hole got bigger and glass started to fall in the trunk. There was no impact to the rear windows that would have caused the damage. After researching online, I found the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 22-014. I took the car to the dealer but they will not fix it since it is not under warranty. I cannot see out of my rear window now that it is cracked (other than the area where there is a hole).
