problem #2

Sep 112014

4Runner 6-cyl

  • 164,000 miles
Driving approx 40 mph towards home and rear window exploded, shattered glass all over. It sounded like an M80 in the back of my truck. Had window repair guys come and they showed me defroster connectors were burnt out. I did have defroster setting on at the time of incident. I called Toyota but they wouldn't do anything to assist. My concern was if my dogs were in the back, as we usually take them to the park, they could have been seriously injured. I did have a major anxiety attack. If this happened on the highway it could have easily caused an accident.
