“Rear window shattered on its own. I know it sounds crazy but it happened to me. The window blew up right above my head. I searched it on Google it actually happens a lot on this suv. A little odd thereâs no recall on the window just magically shattering.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 27 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
