2020 ACURA RDX Visibility/wiper Problems

I am the owner of a 2020 Acura RDX. Approximately 64,000 miles. Car was parked in my driveway. My wife heard a loud bang. Back windshield shattered. Pieces of glass inside and outside the vehicle. The window had no prior dents or cracks.

On January 6, 2026, as I left my house and was driving to work, I heard a loud gunshot/explosion sound. The trunk window had a whole and it started to shatter. The window completely shattered and fell. No evidence of a rock hitting the window was present. The temperature was 45 degrees. The coldness was not an issue, as this car has been in below 0 degree weather. I called Acura dealership. They told me they had never heard of this issue and didn’t offer to inspect the vehicle. I had to find a fix outside of Acura. No warning lights or prior failure issues with windows. The defroster was not on either.

The whole rear glass unexpectantly shattered. My Car was parked in the driveway and I found it this way later in the day. The whole rear hatchback glass was shattered everywhere. Glass pieces were starting to fall inside. I called the my local Acura dealer Bobby Rahal and they said this was problem with the RDX but Acura was not covering them. He said there is a TSB tech. service bulletin. This is a very dangerous defect that needs to be recalled.

My rear windshield spontaneously shattered with me sitting in my driver's seat in a parking lot. I just started my car, put on my seat belt when I heard this loud noise and saw the rear windshield shattered. I found no object in my car that could have caused the problem like a rock.

While entering the vehicle in the parking lock, I closed the driver door and the rear view mirror shattered completely on it own.

I was leaving noticed I could not see out of back windshield. Thought it was ice and put on the defroster. Went to scrape ice and noticed the windshield was shattered in pieces. Did not see any object around vehicle that could have hit or fell on it yo cause damage.

Rear windshield shattered while parked. There was no accident/impact. Just spontaneously shattered.

On November 22, 2025, at approximately 10:30 a.m., I visited Chandler Mall and remained there for about an hour and a half. When I returned to my vehicle and began backing out of the parking space, I noticed that my rear window was completely shattered. I immediately put the car back in park and got out to inspect the damage. Pieces of glass along the edges of the window were continuing to fall. There were no signs of vandalism—no rocks, objects, or visible fingerprints. I filed a report to determine whether security cameras may have captured any incident that could have caused the rear windshield to break, but so far no suspects have been identified. I am now waiting for the replacement part and an installation appointment with Safelite. Based on others’ experiences, some people have reported hearing loose glass inside the trunk door after similar issues, which is discouraging. I am hoping to have the rear windshield replaced without further problems or risk of future shattering.

Drove vehicle to work in the morning and had the front and rear defroster on (they turned on automatically due to exterior temperatures when I used autostart on my AcuraLink app). When I got to work, I parked my vehicle and had no issues at that point. But, in the afternoon when I came out to my car the rear window had spontaneously combusted. There were no obvious signs of damage, nothing on the ground that would have fallen, and nothing around. When I got home I did some searching and found that Acura is aware of this issue and had issued a TSB to fix the windows, but that they are no longer doing so under warranty. The TSB is related to the window defogger, which can apparently malfunction and overheat, causing thermal contraction/expansion to break the glass. I had glass all over the inside of my car. Imagine if I were driving it and it exploded, it could have harmed me or worse - I could have been so surprised/startled that I swerved and wrecked, possibly harming others as well. This is a disaster. There's no recall on this? There's no requirement to continue to fix a well-known problem spanning several years (2019-2023 I believe)? They are just replacing the window and apparently, some of the windows being used still have the defective defogger. I'm lucky to be alive and typing this.

Spontaneous rear tailgate shattered glass while parked. Yes, available for inspection. If I had driven the vehicle off the lot, I could have had flying glass to the vehicle behind me. Yes, the vehicle was immediately taken into the dealership & awaiting repairs. Vehicle has been inspected by Acura dealer. No, there were no signs of the problem prior to failure.

The vehicle was parked overnight safely as always outside of my home. The rear tailgate windshield shattered without warning, incident or contact. The vehicle was inspected and the windshield was replaced by an automobile window company in Maryland.

Rear windshield broke with out any impact.

While at work the rear windshield exploded. I had the workplace look at their camera's. They said that it looked normal, no one drove next to my car and it was by itself.

While my wife was driving on the highway going about 50mph, the rear window suddenly shattered without any apparent cause, startling her. Fortunately, she didn't yank on the steering wheel and was able to pull over safely. After conducting some research, I discovered that this is a known issue affecting 2019–2023 Acura RDX models and is currently the subject of a pending class action lawsuit. The window was inspected and will be replaced by our car insurance.

My back window on my 2020 Acura RDX shattered while it was parked at school. When I opened my passenger door to put my backpack in, I heard some cracking. I walked around the front of my car and when I opened my driver's side door, I heard and saw the back window glass falling inside and outside of my car. I viewed the cameras at school and could tell the glass had cracked earlier, but believe the hole in the glass occurred from a combination of the pressure change opening my door and the vibration from shutting the door. One of my fellow teachers who came out while I was looking at the damage searched online and discovered it is a known problem for my year and model car. I called the service department at my local Acura dealership and immediately drove there. The service tech told me that he believed it would be covered since it is a known issue although my car is out of warranty. Acura posted a Service Bulletin (22-014) on October 28, 2022 that includes the VIN of my car in the affected vehicles. The bulletin states that the rear glass can shatter or break with no external impact due to incorrect specification of the rear defroster grid. The service manager called me the next afternoon to tell me he spoke to an Acura rep and they would only cover half. I am responsible for paying almost $400 to repair my back window that Acura knows is a safety issue to break since there has not been an official recall. It is not safe to operate a vehicle with a broken back window, in addition to the issues of weather exposure and not being able to secure the vehicle from others being able to access it. This repair should be covered by Acura since they are clearly aware of this issue and my car was included in the affected vehicles, even though my car is not under warranty anymore. Windows breaking are a safety issue and should be covered by the manufacturer due to their negligence.

Rear windows broken by itself. No known cause while driving. I heard a bang but didnt realize at first what it was until I pulled over and looked at the car. I had it replaced at safelite. Waited 2 weeks. There is glass in my tailgate which is impossible to remove. Did not know others had this issue as well until recently saw it online. Honda needs to address this issue.

Open the driver door to start the Vehicle and while closing the door the Back windshield shatter.

Rear window randomly shattered. I was just sitting at a red light and it shattered. Nothing hit it or damaged it. I read online this is a reoccurring problem others have experienced with 2019 models and newer. This needs to be addressed. If I was going down the road this could have caused an accident.

The rear windshield glass shattered while the car was parked in an open area. There wasn't an impact incident of any type. Acura is aware of the issue on this model of RDX (there's a service bulletin) but is refusing to cover the repair out of warranty. I know hundreds of owners have already filed complaints but wanted to add our incident as well.

The rear windshield completely shattered after getting in the vehicle and shutting the drivers side door. The vehicle was off and not in motion. There were no warnings, or other symptoms or any other indicators that this was a faulty windshield. The weather has been below freezing for the last 4 days. The problem has not been confirmed or reproduced nor inspected as this just happened and was unexpected. Thankfully the vehicle was off, however this could have impacted my safety and those around me if I had been driving.

My windshield completely shattered while parked out of no where. This could’ve been a huge safety hazard if I was driving or had my children in the car. I am very disappointed to see this is very common for other RDX owners when it is such a hazardous situations for many! This needs to be recalled!! These car are expensive enough to have to deal with this dangerous and expensive issue that isn’t caused by the owner, but a manufacture issues!

Car parked outside during work hours, turned car on for 10 minutes to warm up, upon coming back the rear windshield was completely shattered… (used rear defrost button)

I am submitting this formal complaint to report a recurring safety issue with my vehicle, a 2020 Acura RDX. Specifically, the rear window glass has unexpectedly shattered on two separate occasions without any apparent cause or external interference. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The rear window glass is the component that failed, and it is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The sudden shattering of the rear window glass posed a significant safety risk. Broken glass could have flown into my eyes or injured anyone near the vehicle. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, Acura is aware of this issue as it has been reported by other owners of similar models. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The police have inspected the vehicle following the incidents. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, there were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure. To provide more context: The first incident occurred during cold, snowy weather, which I initially suspected might be a contributing factor. However, the second incident took place during moderate weather conditions, eliminating extreme temperatures as a possible cause. Both times, the vehicle was stationary while I was inside my workplace, and surveillance footage confirmed that no individuals or external factors were near the vehicle. After researching this issue, I found that other Acura RDX owners, particularly models from 2019-2024, have experienced similar occurrences of rear window glass shattering without cause. Despite this, Acura has not issued a recall or provided guidance on resolving the issue. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter

Vehicle was parked at a parking spot and all of a sudden there was a loud “POP” and the rear glass started cracking!

The rear windshield spontaneously smashed while my vehicle was parked in my driveway.

Rear windshield spontaneously shattered for the SECOND time in less than 3 years while it was parked in my driveway. There was no external impact or foreign objects that may have caused it. I called an Acura dealership immediately and they acknowledged that this is a known issue with Acura RDXs, but since there’s no recall and my warranty ended, they refused to help fix the issue. Went to a local auto shop and they also pointed out this has been a common issue with Acura RDXs. This is extremely dangerous and unsafe for drivers and passengers.

Rear windshield shattered upon remote starting vehicle and rear defroster turning on. This occurred during winter weather, between 25-30 degrees after the car sat overnight.

The rear window shattered on its own!!!. I had it replaced but not all the glass debris could be removed and it is trapped inside the trunk door (lift gate), unreachable, because the way the door was manufactured. The body shop says the entire lift gate needs to be replaced. How is it possible that the customers have the pay for the repairs of this manufacturing defect! Every time I open the lift gate I can hear a lot of glass moving inside. I will never be able to resale this car if this is not fixed. As it stands, many Acura RDX owner have this huge issue!!!!

Acura 2020RDX. Rear windshield spontaneously shattered. No impact was made. The trunk was opened with button from inside the car. After being open for over a minute, there was a loud pop, the rear windshield had shattered. The car is available to inspect. The broken rear windshield poses a safety hazard because my car is unsecured and my garage door openers could be accessed. No warning lights were given.

The back window shattered in January of 2024 and again today 12/19/24. Both incidents happened after i started the car in my garage. It was a loud pop and the entire windshield shattered. I wasn't aware that Acura had a technical service bulletin (TSB 22-014). When I called the dealership to explain what happened and that I wasn't aware there was an issue until I saw it the internet and they told me that since the window had already been repaired once and it wasn't the original that they had to have it inspected and I had send pictures before they would tell my if they would pay to replace the part that is causing the issue.

My vehicle was parked overnight and when I went to go to work this morning, I found my rear window glass shattered. There is evidence of vandalism for all my doors were locked, and everything was present inside as well as no form of any external impact before I park inside the garage or nothing falls from the ceiling. It is a common problem known for the third generation Acura RDX, where the rear class window spontaneously shatters. This is definitely a safety hazard for it can happen when driving on the road and diminishing rear window visibility.

Panoramic sunroof. Makes loud popping noises while going over uneven terrain such as speedbumps. I fear that this could result in breakage of the sunroof glass causing serious safety concerns to myself or other passengers. It would also make the vehicle susceptible to the elements.

The rear window exploded it is said to be a defroster on the rear windshield. And no While I was parked when I watched the glass exploded if I was driving the exploded could have shocked me and glass shatters feel inside the car that could potential cause cuts, Acura and private company’s have acknowledge the problem. Yes when it was replaced, there suggestion was the bring down the windows while warming up the car so that the glass temperature won’t change as fast. No worry just exploded

back window spontaneously burst. vehicle was stationary. I was in the vehicle while it was parked.

While driving my car in Albany New York on December 3 roughly about 15 minutes after starting the car and continuing onto a residential road the back window, spontaneously shattered without impact. The rear window defroster had been on at the time and had just cleared the frost before the drive had started. Not only did the window break a portion of the window fell into the trunk of the car and the rest of the window completely shattered into a little pieces that it was not possible to see outside of the back window. The sound of the breaking glass was so loud. It sounded as if snow was falling off the top of the car, but NO snow was present that day. The loud noise along with the lack of visibility caused issues with operating the vehicle and bringing it into a safe parking spot that was off of the road

The rear window shattered out of no ware when driving in cold conditions and the rear defroster was on.

My car was parked in a Garage untouched for hours I turned on remote start and came back to find my back window completely shattered. I looked inside the vehicle to see maybe if someone through a rock or anything but i found nothing and the way it cracked shows it came from the defroster.I have seen multiple complaints about Acura RDXs back window randomly shattering after using the rear defroster on the vehicle. I called an Acura service shop and they confirmed this is a re occurring issue but refused to compensate or assist in fixing the matter. They claimed my warranty ended or there is no recalls for my vehicle but this is a known issues with Acura RDXs.

The rear windshield shattered when the car was parked in the driveway and warming up/ using the defroster.

I had remote started my car 10 minutes before I was going to get in since it was 30 degrees Fahrenheit outside. When I got out to my car, I sat down in the driver's seat, and after I shut my door, my rear window shattered. There is some sort of issue with the rear defrosting system, there are no other explanations for why this happened.

My car was parked in a parking lot and the rear windshield spontaneously shattered. There was previously no damage to the window. My rear dashcam shows evidence that the windshield shattered with nobody in or around the car. I spoke with police officers who reviewed security footage in the parking lot; they confirmed that the damage was not an act of vandalism and happened spontaneously. I have read online about numerous complaints of this issue and the current class action lawsuit against Acura/Honda for this problem.

On Saturday, November 8th, 2024, I walked out to my vehicle, rear windshield intact, no damages, start my car, and turned on the rear-defroster. 20 seconds later, I hear cracking, as I am about to pull out, and to my surprise, my entire rear windshield is cracking and making popping noises. I put my car in park, and the entire windshield is crumbling and shattering before my eyes. There was absolutely NO impact whatsoever. I then, contacted the dealer, and dealer asked me to drive to the dealership, which is 10 miles away, while glass is falling into my trunk area, and flying out onto the highway. The dealer put me in a loaner until they heard from the warranty department. My car is 4,000 miles out of warranty, but they were still going to see what they could do. It has been five business days now, as today is November 15th, 2024, and I have still yet to receive an answer. I have not received information if my vehicle has even been inspected by the dealership. There were no warning lights, messages, or any issues with the vehicle. I take care of the vehicle directly through the dealership, where I purchased the vehicle from and should show all of that on the CarFax. I have, however, found several open lawsuits where claimants are filing cases against Acura for a faulty rear windshield. Please advise!!!!

I entered my 2020 Acura RDX after it was parked for several hours while I was at work. The outdoor temperature was around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Upon closing the drivers door I hear a crashing noice and noticed the rear lift gate glass shattered and fell into the rear cargo area. This appears to be a very widespread issue with this make and model and is a serious safety concern that should be recalled.

Rear window shattered when the front passenger door was closed. The car was sitting in the driveway and there was no external impact. Acura issued TSB 22-014 for a known defect ("incorrect specification for rear defroster grid') but is only replacing windows for cars still under warranty. This is a safety issue and deserves a proper recall.

Rear windsheild glass shattered spontaneously.

On [XXX] my windshield wiper motor died during a rainstorm. The car gave no warning lights and I get my vehicle serviced regularly. I have had ongoing electrical issues with this car such as a faulty radio and inability to run the GPS settings. I took the car back to Princeton Acura ( In New Jersey) and was told the Windshield Wiper Motor has to be replaced at it would cost me $ 600.00. The car was also looked at by a mechanic from Jifffy Lube who said he was unable to order the windshield wiper motor due to the car being so new that after market parts are not available. I am extremely frustrated and feel this is unfair and also feel I was sold a lemon. I bought the car new in 2020 and I am the only owner. I am hoping someone can help me. Thank you.

Rear cargo glass spontaneously shattered while vehicle parked. This occurred between 1:45 pm-5:00 pm on a clear day with outside temperature of 65° Review of camera footage from neighboring building shows no evidence of impact by foreign object.

Rear windshield shattered. While vehicle was parked.

The rear window failed. The temperature outside was about 27 degrees F and the rear defroster control was turned on. I heard a loud popping noise, but I didn't realize what happened until I got home. When I went to raise the back door, I realized the rear window had shattered. I was close to home and it would have been worse if I was out of town. I immediately called my local Acura dealership where the vehicle was purchased (Egg Harbor Twp., NJ) and left a voice message. They never returned my call. It wasn't safe to drive with since the rear window shattered and there was a large hole in the window. I could not drive the car for several days until the rear window was replaced. No one inspected the rear window except for the person hired to replace the window. This person said they had done another rear window on a car similar to mine the prior week. Although the window was replaced, the problem may still be an issue if it was caused by the rear defroster control.

On Jan 22, 2024, I got into my 2020 RDX at work's parking lot, close the door lightly and the rear glass shatters. This is the second time this happened. The first time was back in Nov 2021.

Car was parked and OFF at dealer waiting for service. I received a phone call that back window shattered and that this was not covered under warranty but the dealer will cover 99% of the cost of parts and labor. This is obviously a manufacturer defect and is very dangerous. Why isn't this a recall?

Opened my Garage door , went into the garage and opened drivers door then sat down in drivers seat . Closed drivers door and crash went the rear window on tail gate. The window Shattered into a million pieces.

Rear windshield glass shattered spontaneously. There was no impact or object that caused this to happen. This is the second time this has happened. Shattered glass has now fell inside my car.

What happened to my 2020 Acura RDX was the rear window randomly broke after closing the driver door (this happened on Tuesday, [XXX]). I was doing some research and it seems as if maybe this had something to do with the electrical defrosters on the rear window. I even talked with my dealership (Highland Park, IL "Acura") and they made it sound like they've "never heard of this happening." I sent the dealer a picture of my vehicle and even sent them the articles that I found on this issue, and got no responses. They proceeded to think I wanted to buy a new vehicle; I have no problems about my car; I love it, however, this actually happened to this same car a couple of years back, so the fact that the dealership claims they've never heard of it is a lie. Thankfully, the window was replaced and fixed today (although I was disappointed it took a week for it to get fixed, I'm glad it is back to normal). What concerns me though, since this has happened 2 times in the last 4 years, I am worried it will happen again in the future. I am displeased with the communication I have received from the dealership. Essentially, I don't think it is fair that I have to pay for something that is clearly a defect of the vehicle itself. Please help guide me in the right direction to receive some closure on this situation. Thank you. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Rear windshield spontaneously shatters. There are numerous lawsuits filed on this issue but Acura is randomly covering replacement of shattered windows apparently by how hard dealerships are calling them on it. My rear windshield shattered while my RDX was sitting in my garage warming up last month on Dec 7th, 5 or 6 RDX owners along with myself posted photos of our shattered windows on the RDX Owners Facebook page.

Rear windshield glass spontaneously shattered - there was no trauma to the vehicle and no significant temperature changes, and the break was caught on security camera footage. This both made a very loud noise which would have been very startling while driving, affected visibility, and caused skin injuries due to glass shards both inside the vehicle/on personal belongings, and on the driveway which hurt my dogs paws. There is a TSB issued (b22-14) however the dealer has so far told me they haven’t heard of this issue - I am awaiting another call back. There were no warning lights or other indicators prior to this happening.

Rear window shattered for no reason causing serious safety issue.

The car was parked in ~40 degree, sunny weather while running some errands. Upon returning to the car, entering, and closing the driver's door, the rear window glass (on the tailgate) shattered. The glass was shattered throughout the entire glass panel, including at the edges. A ~15"x"10" section in the middle fell into the luggage compartment. Acura service bulletin 22-014 describes this behavior and attributes it to an incorrect spec rear defroster grid. Thankfully this didn't happen while driving, but if it did, it could have been quite dangerous to the driver, due to the surprise, and to following cars due to flying glass.

On October 25th 2023 I got into my 2020 Acura RDX. I closed my front driver side door, didn't slam it, and my rear window shattered. Glass everywhere.

Rear tailgate windshield got shattered without any impact. Acura know about this and they have on their bulletin board.(Acura TSB 22-014). I have fixed through 3rd party and I got reimbursed the fee from Acura. Well, 2020 Acura RDX's tailgate panels are all glued that broken windows between panels are stuck in tailgate. Even Acura dealer don't have access to that panels therefore they recommend changed the WHOLE TAILGATE. So every time I open and close the tailgate, I hear broken glasses inside of my tailgate. It's time to sell my suv but there is no way to access those glass pieces even in dealer.

Rear windshield shattered on its own while parked in driveway.

Normal grocery store run opened my lift gate to get my bags to go into the store, hit the close button and once it closed the rear windshield spontaneously shattered then and there - nothing touched it at all I was standing 2 feet away - after I started to drive home the window started falling apart creating the hole in the picture.

On Tuesday, March 7, the owner of this vehicle loaded some items into the back seat of the vehicle. When the owner closed the back door, the rear windshield of the vehicle shattered without warning or cause. The vehicle is drivable, albeit with a huge opening in the rear windshield. The manufacturer has issued a service bulletin, bulletin number 22-014, that addresses this defect but has not recalled any of the affected vehicles. The owner has alerted the dealership but still has the vehicle at home as of Wednesday, March 8.

Rear window shattered without any impact. This is a known Acura issue due to faulty rear defroster grid. There was a bulletin issued but not a recall. Called local dealership and they are aware of the issues. Inspected and replaced glass on 3/7/2023

Rear windshield shattered spontaneously while in park. Multiple reports of this in other 2020 RDXs. No reported recall to date. Vehicle is up-to-date with all services, no major accidents, and no prior indication of foul play or that the windshield was tampered with.

The wiper getting stuck and on position and can’t turn off …

On two occasions now my vehicle was parked at the train station and I have returned to the back window being cracked. The first time (11/21) when I shut the rear passenger door I heard the glass crack. There was a small hole near the bottom center which quickly expanded as doors were closed. The second time (8/22) I walked up to my vehicle and there was a large hole in the rear window which looked exactly the same. Both times glass was also broken around the edges. We are confident it is not vandalism due to the fact that the vehicle was parked in an open well-monitored area, nothing was taken and no other cars were damaged. Something must be defective.

There is an issue with the windshield. When driving into direct sun the total windshield appears to be pitted and visibility is hampered. I reported this to Southern Motors in Savannah and the service manager photographed the windshield and said he would follow up. I went back about a week later and was told that Acura had him photograph all RDX's on the lot. All of them had a similar issue, including his personal vehicle. I called Acura and they did not appear to be concerned. It appears as the issue is with the material sandwiched between glass layers that is defective (my opinion). On a recent road trip I found it extremely difficult focusing on the road due to the reflections off of the little "pits" all throughout the windshield. I believe combined with normal road hazards (bugs) could cause temporary loss of visibility and potential accidents at highway speeds. I feel that Acura needs to recall and repair these windshields.

Got into the RDX, closed the driver door and rear glass shattered. Called Dealership and spoke with salesman and service manager and both said they never heard of this before. Reading online this has happened several times. Acura in Canada has acknowledged that this is a defect and repairs are done under warranty. What can be done in USA?

I got in my vehicle, closed the driver door and heard a loud "pop" followed by the sound of glass falling. Turned around and saw a giant hole in the middle of my rear windshield. Got out to investigate and noticed the rear window was completely shattered all the way to the edges of the glass. There are multiple reports of this happening and yet Acura USA refuses to acknowledge it. Instead, forcing us to file an insurance claim when in fact this is faulty glass, and should be covered by Acura. It's 2022, a simple google search will show how common this issue has become. Acura needs to be held accountable and something needs to be done about this immediately.

Rear window spontaneously exploded while opening my door to enter. There are no replacement glass available from Acura, I am forced to drive with plastic and duct tape covering my rear window. Acura denies there is a problem/ that hey are at fault. The are currently daily posts on the 3rd Gen Acura RDX Facebook group of owners rear window spontaneously exploding. This has been a know issue with owners since 2019, however the frequency of the rear glass exploding has increased dramatically.

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.
