Consumer Description

CAUSE: UNKNOWN. DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT A NORMAL SPEED, WITH NO KNOWN DEBRIS OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD, I HEARD A LOUD POP. SUDDENLY, MY REAR WINDOW STARTED CAVING IN, CRUMBLING FROM THE TOP-MIDDLE OF IT, BREAKING OFF GRADUALLY FROM THERE. I WAS DRIVING SAFELY (NO SWERVING, NO COLLISIONS), AND LATER INSPECTION FOUND NO FOREIGN OBJECTS THAT COULD'VE CAUSED THE WINDOW TO SHATTER.
