Consumer Description
My car's rear windshield got shattered on its own. It was parked outside more than 16 hours and its windshield broke on its own when no-one was inside the vehicle. When it shattered, we were near car only. This would have been disastrous if someone was sitting in the 3rd seat row, it could have fallen on them or would have impacted driving due to shattering noise. Vehicle inspection is still not completed by manufacturer. There was no other damage to windshield or no stone or any object was hit it. There were other people also around and they saw it got shattered on its own. I would be able to provide videos and photographs of the damage.
