“Rear window blew out. My family and I were driving home from a road trip and had pulled into our home. Everybody got out and we saying standing by the front of the vehicle. We heard a bang from the back of the vehicle. I walked to the back to see the back window completely shattered. I did not notice any strike marks because the window was still intact and on the vehicle. I went to unlatch it and the whole thing fell of the vehicle. The glass was inside the vehicle, on top of the vehicle, and all over the floor.”
