| Description of the problem | I was showing my new/used 2011 hyundai santa fe to some friends when we heard a pop and the rear windshield shattered. No one else was around the vehicle and where it was parked there was no where someone could have shot the window with a pellet gun or something like that. Earlier in the morning i had the rear window defogger on to clear light fog off the rear windshield. It was only on for approximately 5 minutes until i shut it off while driving. |
