Consumer Description

TURNED VEHICLE ON IN MY DRIVEWAY WHERE I LIVE. WARMING UP THE ENGINE (GETTING READY TO GO TO STORE) AND I PUT ON FRONT AND REAR DEFROSTER (WAS COLD OUT). AND BACK WINDSHIELD MADE A LOUD NOISE AND JUST CRASHED INSIDE, GLASS SHATTERED INSIDE CAR. I USUALLY HAVE SOMEONE WITH ME SO I AM GRATEFUL I DID NOT. MY CAR WAS STATIONARY. WE JUST HAD SNOW FALL (WHICH IS SUPER NORMAL HERE AND IT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED SO NOT SURE WHY THE WINDOW IMPLODED INSIDE THE CAR). YOU CAN SEE IN PHOTO. MY HUSBAND CLEANED OFF THE CAR FOR ME. I USED A BRUSH IT WAS JUST A FEW FLAKES. I USED THE CAR 2 DAYS EARLIER AND CLEANED IT ALSO. IT HAD BEEN CLEANED. THERE WAS SOME RESIDUAL SNOW ON TOP AND ON THE TRUNK BUT NOTHING THAT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS.
