problem #1

Jimmy 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,836 miles
Sitting in car with motor off..lights off. Back window exploded. Window shot up over car and broke into a million pieces, while window stayed locked. Sounded like a bomb went off. I was sitting in passenger side of vehicle. Police reported to scene. GMC of fresno could find no reason, said it was not electrical. Took vehicle to another garage..they could find no reason either. Insurance refuses to repair because report states not caused by electrical. Also caused front dash equipment to malfunction. Very, very scary!! glass blew out everywhere!
