Consumer Description

I had my rear defrost on and it started smoking on the rear drivers side window and smelled like something burning and I parked at a gas station a couple of minutes later. The rear window completely shattered. The glass stayed intact but my 6 year old son was sitting in the backseat and it scared him half to death. I looked up recalls and this is known issue with these vehicles sold in Canada. This just happened and it hasn't been looked at my anyone.
