Side/rear Glass Problems of Chrysler Pacifica

The glass of the rear window of my Chrysler Pacifica shattered and exploded out. I had parked the car at my school and locked it. When I came out after class I noticed the window had two holes in it. I originally thought someone had hit my car, but when I got closer I saw glass on the ground outside my car. A person walking by saw the whole thing and left note. He wrote that he heard and saw my window break. He said there was nobody near the car at the time. I believe the glass in the Pacifica is defective. The temperature was around 35 degrees. There was no glass in my vehicle. It was as if the window just shattered and exploded out. My fear is that the rest of my windows will also be defective and will shatter and explode when the car is occupied and hurt someone. If this passerby had not witnessed the sua sponte shattering I would have thought that someone just hit my car. I wonder how many other people have had this happen to them without witnesses and just thought they had been a victim of vandalism.

: the contact stated two days after purchasing the vehicle a percussion noise was noticed coming from the rear windows. The rear windows were down at the time of the noise. The vehicle was taken to the service dealer who suggested one of the front windows be placed in an open position along with rear to reduce noise. The noise is present at all times, but is more severe at speeds above 30 mph. Contact claimed it was a design defect. Updated 06/01/2006.

I own a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. My complaint deals with the total lack of visibility when one is backing up. Specifically, since the rear window is so heavily tinted you cannot see any illumination thrown out by the inadequate back-up lights. If the area around the car is poorly lit, one cannot see anything or body behind you. This is very dangerous. I have been driving for 45 years and have a very good driving record. This is the most dangerous vehicle I have ever driven!! I will not drive it in the evening anymore due to the total lack of confidence in the vehicle. Instead, I drive my wife's Honda cr-v. On February 7, 2005 I called Chrysler customer service. The rep said that I could peel off the tinted cellophane strip from the rear window. This is ludicrous. The tint on the glass is an integral part of the pane. He was absolutely useless. On February 8, 2005 I complained to my dealer. He would not replace the rear window but would sell me a back-up sensor system for their cost of $417. 00. The problem is not solved. This is a problem of safety. All I want is a way of using my car 24/7 without fear of striking somebody or an object, through no fault of my own. I do not feel it is appropriate for me to pay for this service. I am trying to save lives. Please feel free to contact me, sincerely, joel f. Garfield.

Rear window is positioned so high that I cannot see cars or objects that are directly behind me. There is no way to adjust my rear-view mirror to rectify this situation. It is the design of the car, and it is dangerous.
