Consumer Description

I used remote start to start my 2023 HR-V SPORT, and walked outside about 5 minutes later to find the rear windshield completely shattered. I thought something may have hit the glass, but I was backed into my driveway close to the garage door, and it was mid-morning so I didn't suspect a break-in attempt, as there was absolutely nothing in the car to steal. After doing some research online, I found all the reports of the Rear Defrost malfunction being reported. I have been setting the A/C to preheat the vehicle in the mornings due to the recent cold snap, so I double checked my settings, and they were indeed set the same, with the Rear Defrost set ON. I called my local Honda Service Dept. today and the person on the phone acted surprised, and claimed to have never heard of this issue. I am still waiting on a call back from the actual Service Department to take the car in. We are currently now without transportation, and no answers from Honda.
