| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving a toyota 2004 corolla on the highway @ 60 mph. all the car windows were open. there were no other cars/trucks near the car. i pushed the button to close the windows. the driver side window went up to approx. 6" from the top of the window and stopped. i pushed the button to turn it down. the window returned down. i again pushed the button to close the window. as the window was raised to apprrox 6" from the top, the glass exploded. i drove directly to the toyota dealer who said sometimes this happens and was not able to give a reason for the occurrence. the window was replaced. i am afraid to touch the window as when the glass exploded, my hand was cut, some of the glass was in my lap. i was wearing sunglasses which i think provided some protection. when i saw the back of the car there was glass on the floor and back seat. fortunately, i didn't panic when the glass exploded. i am frightened to think of the serious consequences if i did. are there any reasons for this type of occurrence? there wasn't any unusual sound when i pushed the window buttons. is there a problem w the toyota 2004 corolla? thank you for your help. *jb |
