Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 10 MILES PER HOUR, REAR TAILGATE GLASS WINDOW EXPLODED. IT WAS RAINING OUT. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE WET, SMOOTH, PAVED SURFACE. GLASS SHATTERED AND FLEW EVERYWHERE, INSIDE VEHICLE AND OUTSIDE VEHICLE. LOUD EXPLOSIVE NOISE. IT WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING. LUCKILY, I WASN'T INJURED AND DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND MY 3 SMALL CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME.
