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.

Potential Consequences:

“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.

Defect Description:

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

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.
