I opened my driver's side door and sat down when I heard a crack sound. I turned around and heard a louder crack sound and saw my back window was shattered. I called Acura twice and spoke to two different agents and both stated they never heard of this happening nor were there any bulletins about this being an issue. I called three Acura dealerships near me and all three stated they have never heard of this issue even though I've heard of this happening multiple times in my Acura owners group discussions. The last dealership I spoke with asked for me to drive it to them so they could see it. While driving there the glass just continued to drop inside my cargo trunk. The dealership is supposed to be checking with their district manager tomorrow but didn't sound optimistic. They did check with parts and the rearview glass is on backorder with no ETA and other Acura owners have been waiting months to get theirs replaced. I feel this is a much bigger issue and is a defect in the design of this model based on what I've heard and have now experienced firsthand.

Rear windshield shattered while parked in my drive way. Vehicle was not being driven. I have read several reports of this happening to other Acura rdx. I have contacted the dealership and Acura who have both told me I need to pay out of pocket to get this fixed. This is an Acura problem and Acura was unable to help. I should not be responsible for getting this fixed as vehicle was in driveway when this happened. I have been without a vehicle since this happened on 12/24. I'm very unsatisfied with Acura.
