VISIBILITY
THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED/SHATTERED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY. NOTHING IMPACTED THE GLASS, MY FAMILY HAD JUST GOT IN THE VEHICLE AND A FEW SECONDS LATER HEARD A WHISTLING SOUND AND THE WINDOW SHATTERED. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE HAD BEEN NO OTHER SIMILAR REPORTS AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
