| Description of the problem | My vehicle was stationary and in park in a parking lot, with the engine still running. Suddenly, i heard an extremely loud bang, and the rear tailgate window had completely exploded into pieces. All that was left was the rear window wiper. Most of the glass exploded out, with only some glass landed in the back of the vehicle. Nothing was thrown at it, there was no damage to it, and all doors were closed. |
