RAV4

  • 19,800 miles
On a sunny hot day vehicle was parked for approx 20 outside. Entered the vehicle once no mishap. Upon second entry "3 minutes apart" when door was closed rear window just fell apart. I found glass on the ground outside of the vehicle and the remaining glass in the vehicle. What appears to have happen is the rear window exploded. Not aware of any prior damage to the window. Toyota was given two attempts to review the grievance on each occasion claiming owner fault or responsibility.
