Consumer Description
WHILE USING REAR WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER, REAR WINDOW SHATTERED/EXPLODED. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PROBLEM IN T-SB-0189-17. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE ENDED THEIR COVERAGE. WHILE THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A DEFECTIVE WINDOW/DEFROSTER; THEY WILL NO LONGER FIX THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE IT IS FAIR TO CONSIDER EXPLODING WINDSHIELDS AS A SAFETY ISSUE.
