I was driving at 60 MPH on the Highway and the Service AWD light came on. The vehicle immediately lost all power and jerked and came to a sudden stop. And then when i tried to re apply power it was sluggish for about 30 seconds before i was able to get full power. I then pulled over to the side of the road and turned the vehicle on and off the error code disappeared. This happens at random times while driving the car and is extremely dangerous.

After the first time, I became aware that this was an issue with my model. I contacted the manufacturer and they expressed that my year was not affected by the defect. It just happened again. I contacted the manufacturer again, they expressed, that in order for them to do anything a recall has to be put in place and to report it to you. In addition, I do not put on the rear defrost. I have been driving around with shards of glass in the rear door. Safelite has expressed, due to how the manufacturer built the door, they can not remove all the glass. Also, every time the door is lifted pieces of glass fall out.

I have a 2020 Acura RDX. In December 2022 I came out to my car and when I opened the door the entire back windshield was shattered like a piece of ice. The glass broke off into little shards all over the back of the car. Also, leaving me to drive my young daughter in the freezing cold. I had it repaired which they were able to fox the glass but not get all the shards out of the car. Yesterday, December 25l4, 2025 I went to my car which had been sitting in the garage for two days and the same thing occurred. There is glass all over my car and my garage. I have a young child and dog who could step on or touch the shards.

Car was in park and running idle and randomly the back windshield completely shattered. The car had been on for a while probably at least 20 minutes so it wasn’t that the window all of a sudden got really warm compared to the outside cold temperature. Had Safelite replaced the window, but there are still a bunch of shards of glass in the tailgate because that would have to be fully replaced in order to remove all those glass shards and there’s no other way to do it. This is apparently a very common issue on the Acura RDX and there is a Facebook group with many people having the same issue with the rear windshield randomly shattering for no reason whatsoever. It seems like Acura dealerships acknowledge this issue, but there has been no recall.

Issue associated with existing TSB 22-014. Rear windshield glass spontaneously shattered when opening driver door. No other damaged to the glass prior, the car power was off as car had been sitting during work hours. Car was brought to local dealership and issue discussed with service team. It was escalated to service director, Dave. With the existing manufacturer warranty being expired as the vehicle has surpassed 4 years or 50,000 miles (51,153 miles) and having knowledge of the existing service bulletin he offered to submit a good faith claim without guarantee as no current recall has been established to this VIN. I called Acura Honda corporate to also report a good faith claim and opened a case number which will be dispatched to a case manager for further investigation. Meanwhile, I have no car and no guarantee for replacement or repair. I didn’t feel it was safe to be driving a vehicle with loose shattered glass and open air during winter rainy season having a toddler. I am left without a vehicle and need to consider alternatives due to this hazardous inconvenience.

I was parked in a parking lot and went to put groceries in the back cargo area. I pushed the button to open my rear hatch, heard a plink sound as it was raising, looked and my entire rear windshield had shattered. This is a known issue - Acura even sent out a notice bulletin but supposedly will only fix it free of charge if the car is still under warranty. I don't believe I should have to pay to fix this = it is a reasonable expectation to believe your windshields won't spontaneously shatter when there is no contact whatsoever.
