Consumer Description
While driving my daughter to daycare, the rear window spontaneously exploded. The vehicle was stopped at a traffic light. Our daughter was in the backseat in a rear facing car seat and she was inconsolable after the event due to the loud sound. We had had several issues with the read window. The defroster keeps coming off despite multiple attempts by several dealerships to repair. We then the window replaced in fall 2021 but the defroster kept detaching so we gave up and just accepted it the poor design. There are several reports on Jeep forums of spontaneous explosions similar to this and rear defroster detaching. None of this issues have resulted in a safety recall.
