About 10am in Dec 14th, there was something is broken sound after closing my car door, and when I turn around to check what happened, the rear windshield of car is shartted. It's obviously to see the cracks is started from sides. And excluding the man-made and natural possibilities, I think it is the bad quality of rear for vehicle. Before founding this component, my car is normally working on the night of Dec 13th. I only opened “rear” to heat in order to get a better rear view. And then I parked in front of my house. The only one factor I can ensure causing this in my mind is the problems with the quality and with the rear system. Never a car window is easily shattered because of heat rear. Although it’s no hurt happened, the bad quality of rear windshield is probably increase dangerous level if the vehicle is heated rear during a rainy day while driving. Before the rear windshield is shattered, about a week ago, the rear system seems not working to remove mist well. I had reported this situation to insurance and the dealer, but the dealer think it’s caused by natural reason or man-made. And all the repair fee is paid by myself, I don’t think it’s reasonable, and they told me they cannot replace the glass as soon as possible because it’s back-ordered. It makes huge inconvenience to me. (Hope to report this as a record if Honda can realize a “small” but big issue later)

We bought a 2023 HRV last year and yesterday out of the blue my back window exploded while it was parked. It’s clearly shattered from the inside out. We took it to our local Honda service center and they are researching the issue. Now I’m without a car while they figure out what they’re going to do. I’m worried if they do replace it, that this can happen again when we’re in the car. We transport our grandkids regularly and and their safety is our top concern.

My rear glass shattered on its own.I got off work got in the car closed the-drivers side front door and the rear glass shattered. it was not bumped or hit by anything. I called Honda dealership and luckily I has extra warranty that will cover the cost of the replacement window.

I was driving on the highway and then I heard a loud boom, and looked in my rearview mirror and my rear window was shattered. I had to pull over and there was no sign of any impact. I was so terrified that I called the police to come out to inspect it and they did not see any sign of impact either. I called Honda, and they advise that my warranty does not cover the glass since the glass does not come from them but a 3rd party. My dealership also did not assist, so I am most likely going to come out of pocket for what seems to be a known issue.

After leaving work on 11/13/23, I came out to my car which had been parked since 9am and the rear window (back window) was completely shattered. This was the first day since last year that I had turned on my rear defroster on the way to work. There were no other markings, and no object on the ground that could have shattered the window. I called the police, who agreed that It did not look like criminal action had taken place. The security of the school which I work at filed an incident report and are in the process of evaluating cameras. Upon reading online, I became aware that many owners of the 2023 HONDA HRV have had a similar issue regarding the rear window shattering after using the rear defroster.

I was sitting at a light after using the rear defroster and the rear window exploded from the inside. Honda will not take any responsibility even though there are many complaints.

Rear window shattered/blew out. Was cold out and Rear defroster was on.

Rear window totally shattered. At approx 7:30 am, the rear defroster was used to defrost the rear window. It was approx 35 degrees F in the morning. After driving the car approximately 4 miles. The car was parked. After returning to the car approx 2 hours later the entire back window was shattered.

The back glass exploded. When I looked online, there are many complaints about this dangerous occurrence. If our grandchildren had been in the back, they might have been killed. Honda surely knows of this problem and needs to take care of it. Our local dealer hadn't heard of it (type in Honda HR-V 2023 back glass explosion), but I don't trust them.

I used the defroster for 10-15 minutes as I could not see out the back window. I turned it off, parked, and idled while answering email. I heard an explosion. Checked all windows, no gusts of cold air, the cars near me hadn't moved. I got out and looked around at car windows tires, in the dark it looked ok. I thought it was Disneyland and also thought I hope noone got shot. I walked away for 90 minutes for my son's hockey game. As I walked to my car. A car passing me illuminated my shattered windshield.

I had the heat on in my vehicle and as I was driving I heard a loud popping sound which startled me. Once I pulled over, I realized my rear windshield shattered. There were no warning lights before the window shattered. The only thing that kept the glass together was the window tint. This issue has been known and reported by multiple drivers.

Rear window shattered while parked in garage with no impact

A few minutes after having parked I heard a loud sound. I thought something heavy had fallen on my car. When I got out of my car to inspect I saw the rear glass with a large hole and the rest of the glass completely shattered and barely holding on. There was nothing inside the car, nothing anywhere near (or even far) that could’ve hit the glass to shatter it. No one nearby.

The rear window spontaneously shattered while the car was parked. on 11/9/2023. Took the car to Safelite and a replacement window will not come in until 11/20/23. Called Headquarter Honda in Clermont, Florida where I bought the vehicle and was told they have no information about this kind of damage having occurred before due to any defect and that there are no recalls about shattering rear windows in the 2023 HRV.
