Consumer Description

TODAY THE REAR WINDOW OF MY SUV SHATTERED COMPLETELY. NOTHING HAPPENED TO IT TO MAKE IT SHATTER, NO VANDALISM OR ROCKS HIT IT. IT WAS PARKED AND NOT BEING DRIVEN. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO IN A SIMILAR SITUATION. IT WAS ALSO PARKED AND IT SHATTERED ON ITS OWN. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS A WARMER SUNNY DAY. TODAY WAS A COLDER TEMPS. I STARTED TO READ ONLINE THAT MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THIS. SOME WERE DRIVING AND HAD CHILDREN AND PETS IN THE CAR. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE BOTH TIMES BUT I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL I AM DRIVING AND THE GLASS SHATTERS AND EXPLODES EVERYWHERE LIKE IT DID WHILE IT WAS PARKED. *TR
