Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This isn't really a complaint but a notification: while driving on i-10e in baton rouge the window simply exploded inward, (with a loud boom) showering my left shoulder and lap with tiny bits of glass. the window was not struck with a rock or object and temperatures were in upper 70's. i was able to pull off onto the shoulder and looked for a bullet exit-hole thinking the loud bang was a gunshot. after calming down, i removed as much glass as possible and immediately drove to the dealership for a replacement. the loud "boom" made could easily have startled a driver, it startled me that's for sure, resulting in an accident or worse. thankfully i-10 traffic was light at the time. just wanted to get this on record in case there's some pattern for this occurence. by the way, the dealership was very helpful getting me fixed up. dt
