2020 Acura Rdx

This is the 2nd time that the liftgate glass has shattered. The first time this happend I thought maybe someone threw a rock and shattered it. But it has just happended again where the liftgate glass has shattered for no apparent reason. I googled the problem and apparently a lot of other people have had the same issue happen to them. I cannot drive without a rear windshhield so I have an appointment to get it replaced on Tuesday the 21st of march. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer but I will take it to Acura this afternoon. From what I have read, they will not do anything about it, other than replacing the window and charging for it. There were no symptoms that appeared before the glass shattering.

“I went to my garage to get my car and off to work supposedly, I put my bag inside the car back set and close it after that I heard a crinkling and shattering noise. When I checked around I saw the rear windshield of my car is totally shattered before I get in the vehicle and before starting. It sounded as if something was in the rear of the vehicle. The entire rear window glass was shattered. There was no impact, no foreign object hit it, etc. It simply shattered while sitting in the driveway, with the vehicle off, when I closed the door. “ I cleaned my car last night and no indentation or any crack or line on the window but the shattered line is ALL OVER THE REAR WINDOW literally. And per my research, says that tons of ACURA RDX 2019 and UP models have this kind of sudden shuttering of the rear window without any hit. This is very dangerous .. Good thing my situation is not like the others that their rear window suddenly broke while on the highway. Hopefully, a JUST will be served. And it's not right for us owners to pay for this situation (rear glass + service fee), and I lost my job today because of this situation. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE for anyone who owns this kind of car. VERY UNACCEPTABLE since ACURA already know about this issue before and still they are selling this kind of defective car.

I went out, got in the vehicle and before starting, I heard a crinkling/rustling noise. It sounded as if something was in the rear of the vehicle. I got out of the vehicle and walked to the back and the entire rear window glass was shattered. There was no impact, no foreign object hit it, etc. It simply shattered while sitting in the driveway, with the vehicle off, when I closed the door. This is a huge safety risk. I have contacted Acura. There is no current recall, but there is a current safety bulleting regarding this issue. Apparently it has happened to thousands of people who own an RDX model years 2019-2022. I cannot believe that this is not an active recall, given the number of reports and the safety concern.

At the end of the work day, I approached my car that had been remotely started through the app approximately 5 minutes prior. I put my work bag in the back driver side, closed the door, then heard small items hitting the ground. I went to the back of the car and found the back window on the lift gate shattered. The door wasn’t slammed. The lift gate has only ever been operated with the power feature.

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.

Hi, I have a 2020 Acura RDX, and it haves a popping and cracking sound on the speaker even wend the radio is of. And it have being check buy the dealer Bella International in Puerto Rico, and they say they cant fix it, to keep using it like that and that’s not an answer to my problem, know they are not answering the phone, the unit is still on warranty, please what can I do? Thanks

The vehicle is a 2020 Acura RDX Advance, with 12,600 miles and was purchased new 17 months previously. On March 4, 2022 the MOONROOF EXPLODED. While driving I heard a "pop" from above my head. Fortunately the inner roof cover was closed such that the shattered glass did not enter the cabin - had the inner roof been open driver and passengers would have been endangered due to the broken glass. Vehicle was taken immediately to the Acura dealer for inspection. They took pictures (not available to me) and submitted to Acura corporate. After waiting for over a week the dealer finally contacted me stating the moonroof would not be covered under warranty. I submitted claim to my insurance and the roof has been repaired. The moonroof explosion happened suddenly and unexpectedly, no object hit the roof.
