I got in my car and started driving home from work then I heard something just shatter and when I looked back my rear windshield was completely shattered. I pick up my nieces and nephews and drive other peoples children to their appointments. This could have caused a serious injury should I have experienced it during a time I have little kids in my backseat. I am taking it to gardena Honda first thing in the morning for an inspection. I have seen other people report this issue on 2023-2025 Hondas and after comparing my windshield to theirs its literally the same. There were no warning signs that flashed it was so crazy.
My drivers side front window shattered while I was driving on xxx since it’s shattered, the window itself isn’t available for inspection. There were no prior cracks to the window and nothing hit my window when the it shattered. I was going 75 mph on the highway and had two passengers in my car. I ended up with glass all over me. Luckily, I was wearing sunglasses, so none it went in my eyes. I didn’t swerve or lose control of the vehicle, but myself and the two passengers could have been seriously injured as a result of this defect. I am unaware of whether this problem has been confirmed by a dealer or independent safety center in other vehicles besides my own. I did take my car to the Honda dealership in [xxx] where I bought it from, and they will look at it tomorrow during business hours. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. There was no warning. It happened spontaneously. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Honda hrv 2025 malfunctioning when brake hold system is activated. Brake hold system lets individuals use the brake whenever needed without your foot having to be on the pedal the entire time. You can come to a red light, step on the pedal and take your foot off the pedal and the car will remain stopped until you press on the gas. Over the course of leasing this vehicle sometimes the brake system problem message would show but it would disappear right away. I let the dealership know of this issue when I got my first oil change but since the message wasn’t currently displayed on the dashboard they did not attend to it. Earlier this week the car suddenly glitches when brake hold is activated and deactivates itself followed by all kinds of messages on the dash. I will upload them here to see. From brake system,tpms, hill start assist all malfunction and when you turn the car off it doesn’t start back up automatically. This is a serious safety concern as the brake system malfunction and car not turning on can happen suddenly when driving causing injury to myself and those around me. A simple google search shows that this is common for this vehicle make, model and year however no recall has been filled.
We experienced two problems with our Honda hrv, which was purchased in June 2025 (less than a year ago). The first issue is that the engine started displaying warning lights and would not turn on. This was due to rodents chewing on the wires, which were apparently soy-based plastic. The second issue is that the rear windshield shattered for no reason the other day. This is apparently a known issue with 2023 and 2024 hrv vehicles that led to a recall, but it also appears to be occurring with the 2025 hrv.
Driving on freeway interchange ramp and sunroof exploded. Left a rectangular section broken in center of sunroof. Not following a truck, no rocks flew up, no land on either side of ramp, no overpass above.
My vehicle, 2025 Honda hrv ex-l is experiencing paint defects. It does not even have 3000 miles on it, and the paint is peeling. The color is crystal black pearl, and even though outdoor elements are removed from the vehicle immediately, the car is still experiencing paint damage. The paint is cracking and peeling off in multiple areas where outside elements have hit it (tree sap, bird poop, pollen, etc. ), the damage is still occurring even if removed immediately. Honda will not honor their paint defect warranty, as they claim this is environmental damage that would not be covered under their paint defect warranty. I was informed that their paint warranty only covers events where the paint is bubbling and cracking from under the paint, or rust is occurring. This defect is happening on a new vehicle, whereas older modeled black vehicles at the same residence, who leaves these environmental elements on the cars longer than I, do not experience the same damage in the slightest. Another vehicle within the same household that was purchased at the same Honda dealership, about 2 months prior to my purchase, same environment/neighborhood/outside exposure, just different make (crv) and color (blue) and isn't experiencing paint damage like this black crystal pearl color on the Hr-v. Having to pay over $2000 out of pocket to fix the paint on these areas.
While I was driving, my sunroof on my 2025 Honda hrv exl exploded. There was nothing that hit it or caused the sunroof to break. I know this due to there being no rock or material inside the area below the sunroof. Also, I would have heard an additionally sound if there were other objects involved, but instead it was one loud crash. I was able to get into contact with a Honda dealership in san diego and they told me that someone had brought their vehicle in about a month ago for that same issue. I also did some research and found that previous years (2024/2023) Honda hrv's and crv's have had similar issues. I took my car to Honda to get it fixed today and asked them to inspect it for a manufacturer error and hopefully replace it free of charge since this vehicle was purchased in April 2025. They told me that I would have to pay for the damage and file a complaint with corporate. I compared a picture of my sunroof to sunroofs from previous owners' vehicles that have also claimed that it simply "exploded" and they look identical. A picture of my sunroof and a sunroof that was hit by a rock or other debris do not look the same at all.
