Description of the problem | After turning on the rear defroster for about 2-3 minutes the right rear window shattered. (if looking from behind its the far right out of the 3 part window. ) iturned it on and drove on a straight road for 1/4 to 1/2 mile at aprox 35 mph. We heard a loud pop/bang and looked around and found the shattered window. No puncture mark or hole from any object hitting it. Apparently this is a common problem according to reviews and news articles as there is a defect in the defroster over heating. Luckily it stayed in the window so we do not have glass every where but it could fly out every where at any second. This is extremely dangerous, especially if you have a child in the back. |
