I drove the vehicle onto a 7" ramp to change the oil. When I started to back off the ramps, the rear window shattered.

- Hawarden, IA, USA

The rear window exploded on its own into thousands of tiny pieces, although it remained intact until I opened and closed the car doors, then it fell apart into the back end of vehicle. I was sitting stationary in the car with another passenger in an empty parking lot. Engine was off for 5 minutes. Outside air temp 48, inside 65. No bullet hole, no rock mark or any other external cause.

This safety problem could cause an accident. I am 5'4'' and sit upright with the correct distance from the steering wheel and pedals. When driving or sitting the front view towards the right and somewhat also when looking left, is obstructed by the side mirrors. Looking to the sides towards each side's mirror (not into the mirror but to see cross traffic when crossing an intersection or turning into a parking spot) the view of oncoming traffic or pedestrians is in a blind spot. The view is blocked by the side mirror and the arm of the mirror attaching the mirror to the car. Also the wideness of the frame of the front window on each side to accommodate the airbag contributes to the blocked viewing too. This has led to me nearly hitting someone crossing the street and nearly being T-boned by a car that was completely invisible coming from the right side for a few seconds until it passed out of the blocked area. I called my dealer and there are no alternate side mirrors to purchase or any cameras that they knew of for this front side blind spot. (this is not the blind spot that cameras are used for the see slightly behind the driver.)
