The contact owns a 2023 Honda HR-V equipped with Firestone Tires, Tire Line: Destination LE3, Tire Size: 225/55/R18, DOT Number: 17X5LDLE3. The contact stated that all four tires were inflated for several days before the rear passenger’s side tire had a blowout. While driving 70 MPH, the TPMS warning light illuminated. The rear passenger’s side tire subsequently experienced a blowout. The contact replaced the tire with a spare tire and took the vehicle to a tire retailer, where a new rear passenger’s side tire was installed. The tire retailer informed the contact that the TPMS warning light was due to the temperature. However, the TPMS warning light remained illuminated, and all four tires required to be inflated every 2–3 weeks. An independent mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The tires were the original equipment. The failure mileage was 37,000.

In April, I returned to my vehicle in my employer’s parking lot in Cranberry Township, PA and found the rear window completely shattered, with glass both inside and outside the vehicle. I immediately contacted my Honda service center and was told there were no reported issues or recalls. Because the vehicle was unsafe to drive, I contacted my insurance company to arrange the repair. My employer reviewed the security footage and confirmed that no one approached the vehicle between the time I arrived and the damage was discovered. Once it was determined that there was no vandalism, accident, or outside cause, I contacted Honda Customer Service. I was then told that Honda was aware of a safety issue involving the rear window, that Honda would cover the replacement cost, and that I should submit a reimbursement claim. I submitted the AutoGlass Now receipt for $441.76 and my credit card statement. I paid a $100 deductible, and State Farm paid the remaining balance. Neither State Farm nor I should bear costs resulting from Honda’s acknowledged rear window issue. I requested that Honda promptly reimburse my $100 deductible and reimburse State Farm. It is a battle. The incident created a major safety concern. I am grateful it occurred while the vehicle was parked rather than on a major highway with family members inside, where sudden rear window failure could have posed a serious hazard. Still, I was left after work with an unsafe vehicle 40 minutes from home, had to cover the rear window in case of rain, arrange for my sister to pick me up, and wait several days for the repair to be completed. It is most disturbing that this issue was already known and could have been fixed before this catastrophic failure. Something should be done about this before lives are lost. Also, when reaching out to the Honda service center, they don't acknowledge the issue and direct you to your insurance company so that Honda is not responsible for the full cost of the repair.

Rear windshield exploded

Incident: June 19, 2026 · Filed: June 22, 2026

I got a "supplemental restraint problem. See your dealer." message on my car's dashboard. My car is available for inspection upon request. The air bags may not deploy in a crash, and this poses a critical safety problem. I haven't taken it to a dealer or independent center yet. It hasn't been inspected by anyone yet. There weren't any lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear.

Incident: January 28, 2026 · Filed: June 11, 2026

I purchased a brand new 2023 Honda HR-V. Recently, the passenger-side LED headlight assembly suddenly stopped working, and I had to pay $1,500 out of pocket to replace it at a Honda dealer. Shockingly, just one month later, the driver-side LED headlight also completely failed. Having both major LED headlights fail within a single month on a vehicle less than 3 years old indicates a severe factory defect, likely caused by a faulty Body Control Module (BCM) or a voltage spike in the electrical system. This poses a critical safety hazard for nighttime driving. Honda refused to cover it under warranty due to high mileage, but this is clearly not normal wear and tear.
