Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“We were stopped at a red light when we heard a loud noise like a gunshot. As we turned around in the car to see what was happening, the rear window shattered and exploded out. The front windshield developed a crack from the driver side to the passenger side in an arc pattern. All glass and one of the hinges from the rear window blew out of the car from the explosion. The car was warmed and wasn't the first time it was used that day. It was raining, there was no frost or ice on the windows. The rear defroster was not on and the rear wiper was not on. …”
