2020 Acura Rdx

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.

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
