Consumer Description

While driving my car in Albany New York on December 3 roughly about 15 minutes after starting the car and continuing onto a residential road the back window, spontaneously shattered without impact. The rear window defroster had been on at the time and had just cleared the frost before the drive had started. Not only did the window break a portion of the window fell into the trunk of the car and the rest of the window completely shattered into a little pieces that it was not possible to see outside of the back window. The sound of the breaking glass was so loud. It sounded as if snow was falling off the top of the car, but NO snow was present that day. The loud noise along with the lack of visibility caused issues with operating the vehicle and bringing it into a safe parking spot that was off of the road
