The rear defroster was turned on while the vehicle was being driven to clear the rear window. Shortly afterward, the window shattered from the inside. The tint film on my window held the shattered glass in place and prevented it from falling out. No. However, when I took my vehicle to Ace Auto Glass in Kahului, Maui, for a window replacement, they told me that several other vehicles of the same make and model had experienced the same issue and been brought in for repairs within the past few days or weeks. This has resulted in significant expenses for the affected owners.

I was driving in the city at a speed of thirty mph when my wife, a passenger in the car, and myself, heard a loud pop. Suddenly I was unable to see the traffic which was following me because my rear window was completely shattered. Since I had traffic behind me and it was raining hard, I decided to drive a few more blocks to seek refuge and help at a nearby Car dealership, which specializes in glass repair. There they taped and covered the rear window opening in plastic after removing the shattered windshield and vacuuming up the many glass pieces which fell into the car. I have had to contact my insurance company, as both Honda Corporation and the warranty I have remaining on the vehicle will not cover the repair. This I was told by by the Honda dealer where I purchased the vehicle.

My backup camera stopped working when I took my car to the dealership to get an exterior replacement part. It worked fine when I dropped it off. Now the screen is completely black when you are in reverse but you can still see the backup camera lines. The dealership is trying to charge me $140 to even look at it. Somebody posted this exact complaint in july 2020. They stated that the camera housing might be letting condensation and water inside, causing it to short out. There are two additional complaints with the same issue from march 2020, one in february 2020, and one in january 2020. This is clearly a manufacturer issue that needs to be investigated.

The backup camera has stopped working. For a few weeks it would intermittently turn work, and now it has stopped working completely. When I put the car in reverse, the screen dash is black with the overlay image of lines showing distances still appearing but no camera image. It is being reported on the internet that it is believed this is due to the camera housing allowing condensation and moisture getting in causing a short. The system appears like it is trying to show the camera image, but it is not getting a signal like it has shorted out.

My car is 4.5 years old with 44,000 miles and the back up camera has started acting strange . The lighting is very dim with lines through the picture appearing like the circuitry is dialing. This is very soon for such a new car and honda should be responsible
