Escape

  • 74,975 miles
Rear window glass explosively shattered while vehicle parked in garage. Research on internet shows this is not a unique problem and has happened to others with this kind of vehicle and this vehicle year. Seems like a potentially dangerous situation. Luckily, nobody was nearby when it happened.
