Example complaints

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

“I got in my car, which was parked in front of my house, at 6:15 pm after a sunny, warm day. When I closed the driver's side door, the back window shattered with an extremely loud bang. The majority of the glass was outside the car, on the street. When I spoke to the claims adjuster for my insurance company after he examined the car, he had some theories about what happened but nothing concrete. He mentioned that perhaps the interior vents were blocked which could have caused pressure inside the car to shatter the back window, so the body shop guys examined those vents. …”
