While my vehicle was parked, indoors, my rear window shattered without any signs of impact marks that suggest damage. It happened when I closed the driver's door.

For some unknown reason while car was in garage the rear window blew out. I have been told that this is an ongoing problem with this vehicle and manufacturer has no replacement windows available and no time frame when it can be replaced. According to glass replacement company my insurance contacted to replace our window there are hundreds of blown out windows of same vehicle also waiting on replacement glass. I think Acura should put out recall on item. Thank God our vehicle was parked and being driven at the time of occurrence. Any and all help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. I also reached out to Acura and awaiting response since now I have to probably pay months of payments and have no car to drive. Thank you again [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Common problem with this generation RDX. My back glass shattered once I turned on the rear defroster. Now I have glass in my rear tailgate as well. This problem is being fixed under warranty in Canada but not in the US. Acura/ Honda are aware of this defect and still not doing anything to fix it.

12/20/21 Clear, 41 degree day, I got in my Acura RDX, closed the door and heard a very loud pop( I thought I had been shot at it was so loud). When I looked out my review window, I noticed the hole in the back windshield. The car was not on. I just closed the door. The whole back hatch windshield was shattered.

Windshield chips and cracks easily from minor road debris. My 2019 Acura RDX Advanced with approximately 22,000 miles has needed to have the windshield replaced 3 times since purchasing (fourth windshield since buying). The latest replacement lasted less than a week before cracking again. These cracks hinder the structure of the windshield, can obscure view, or refract light; limiting driver visibility and affecting the safety system. Seemingly minor strikes from road debris cause stellate chips and cracks 3-4 inches long that cannot be repaired; requiring complete replacement of the windshield and realigning of camera/radar safety systems. The windshield was replaced by professional service (Acura referral) service center using Acura replacement glass. Based only on my personal experience with other cars, this seems a too common event that is likely the result of a manufacturing defect or design flaw. Speaking with the tech at the service center, he said this is a common problem for this vehicle but could not point to any official reports or references.

Windshield chips, scratches, cracks very easily. Once a chip occurs, windshield crack(s) expand significantly in just hours/days. This causes obvious driver interference of visibility. Have had to replace 4 windshields professionally in 40K miles at 18 months from purchase.

Since purchasing car, I've had: Squeaky brakes. Acura is aware but does not have fix. Lane departure issue. A lot of "false positives" which causes car to shake and slow down - very dangerous when another car is driving behind. Acura is aware but does not have fix. Issues with radio and apple care. Does not work intermittently. Acura has done software update to fix but still have problems. Squeaky wipers. Were replaced in September. Need another replacement.
