Description of the problem | I was driving my 2015 silverado 1500 when my daughter in the backseat noticed that's something smell like it was burning, she told me and within 10 seconds i could smell the same thing and it smelled like electrical was burning. I could see smoke coming from behind her headrest so i pulled off the road immediately and got her out of the back seat and could see it was coming from either the slide window or the defroster so i jumped in the front seat and seen the rear defroster was on and shut that off and almost immediately following me shutting that off it sounded like a gunshot went off in my back seat and the rear driver side window exploded the only thing holding it together was the factory window tint. There is all kind of glass shards in the backseat from when it shattered. I had to have my wife pick up my daughter because she is too young to sit in the front seat. So i have to put tape over the window to hold it together until the dealership contacts me back. |
