2023 Honda HR-V

On 10/03/2023, I was in stop-and-go traffic on the highway when I heard a loud pop towards the rear of my vehicle. When I looked in my rearview mirror, I saw that my rear windshield was completely shattered. There was a hole on the driver's side that gradually grew bigger as I drove off the highway. When I pulled over to assess the damage, it looked like the glass was protruding outwards. I did not find any objects inside my car that would suggest something was thrown at my car. The rear of my vehicle was untouched, so no signs of collision. My rear windshield just shattered without an identifiable cause.

The rear windshield shattered and broke. I was at a complete stop in a line when I heard a loud pop and saw the rear windshield had broken. I pulled into a parking space to inspect what had happened. There was a large hole on the left side of the rear windshield, the rest of the windshield was shattered and the side and bottom edges looked blown out. Thankfully my children were not in the back seat at the time of incident. Immediately drove home, where more of the windshield fell in, and called the dealership where I purchased the vehicle 10 months ago and explained what had happened. The lady I spoke with told me it was not an uncommon problem. She put me on hold and then told me I would need to file with my insurance company or bring it in and they could quote me a price to replace it. I explained it was a brand new car and I purchased the 8 year warranty and she stated they would not cover it. I requested to speak to the service manager but I was told he was in a meeting and would call me back. I have not heard back from the service manager at this point. We did file a claim with our insurance since it needs to be repaired. The soonest they can come out is next week. This occurred roughly at 7:50 am, it was 76 degrees outside, partially cloudy, and I had used the rear defrost earlier to see out my back windshield. There was no warnings of any kind of impending failure, it was a sudden malfunction.

Rear window shattered randomly on a cool day with the rear defrost on. I was parked and bearded a boom and looked back and my rear window was shattered. No damage to the vehicle, no accident with vehicle, and object thrown at window. The window just shattered randomly. I’ve read this is a common issue with this year and model, I’ve heard the rear defrost overheats and shatters the glass.

Today is October 1, 2023 I was driving home from church going about 35mph and we heard a loud bang. I thought someone hit the car, but they didn’t. I looked in the rear view mirror and the windshield shattered. My [XXX] mother and [XXX] Aunt (sitting in the back) were terrified and shocked. I was scared and shocked too. When I puked the car over to see what happened there was a hold on the glass and the entire windshield shattered. This is insane and extremely dangerous for anyone to experience. I am still shaking in shock now. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My car had been parked, and when I shut one of the passenger doors, the back window shattered. My car is only about a year old and has never had any previous issues. My safety was obviously put at risk due to shattered glass and having to drive a car without a back window. Online forums state the same issue with other 2023 Honda HR-Vs.

On 09/29/2023 evening at Trenton NJ it was drizzling. I see water droplets on side mirrors and back glass, so turned on rear defogger and drove just 2 minutes, with no reason by back glass shattered with blow sound. I immediately stopped car and saw glass particals fallen inside and few on road. Luckily no one injured. We are traveling with infant and elders. Honda is responsible for this cheap quality glass .

My rear window shattered on September 29th, 2023 on my 2023 Honda HRV Sport. My car had some frost on the windows early that morning, so I used the remote start to start my vehicle and let it run for about 5 minutes before leaving for work. I left the defrost on during my short 10 minute drive to work. When I came out to my car at lunch, the entire back window was completely shattered and had a large hole approximately 3 inches in diameter on the left side. The glass completely fell into my car once the driver door was shut gently. The company ran back the cameras to see if there was an incident that caused my rear window to shatter. The camera footage catches the rear window shattering about 4 minutes after I turned the car off. Nobody was near the car when it happened and it appeared that the window just shattered on its own.

At 4:30 pm on 9/25/2023, I was driving my car on a paved road leading out of Jacksonville,Or. to a nearby town. The weather was mild, no wind and slight mist. I was not using the wipers. Without any warning, the rear window exploded, shattering all of the window and leaving a very small open rectangle on the bottom of the window. There was no sign of a projectile either in the car or in the shards of glass.Had a passenger or my dogs been in the back seat, they would have been subject to flying glass particles. I was shocked and thought someone had fired gun at my car. I was able to do a u- turn and return home where I called my insurance. They immediately called Safelite and made an appointment for window replacement. The job was done 9/28/2023.
