NHTSA complaint #10296735, filed 2009-12

“As we were driving, all of a sudden we hear this extremely loud blast coming from the rear of the vehicle. We look back and seen that the rear glass was shattered. We then pulled over asap to examine the damages. I then began to take pictures using my cell phone. Not to mention my 13,11&4 month old kids was in the back seat when this occurred. We are still shaken up from this situation at hands. This could of been a far more worst situation. This is definitely a defect and need to have a recall. I've only owned the SUV for 2 days I will be returning the next day.”
