Matrix 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 399 miles
Driving new Toyota Matrix (<400 miles) entering freeway, hear a pop behind driver. Car continues to drive fine. When stopped, noticed that entire rear quarter window glass is shattered. No evidence of having been hit by anything (highly improbable given circumstances of when pop was heard). No hole in window. By thwe next day shattered window glass is falling out of frame. Dealer notified, taking no action as yet. Rear passenger, if present, would have been endangered by the shattered glass.
