    This is the second time it has occurred. We have pictures of windshields breaking by it self. Has this happened to anyone here and could you provide some advise on who will be responsible in a case like this where it's not the driver's fault?

    I know that on Ford's that as long as it starts under a seal it's covered by warranty

    I had a Nissan Armada blow the rear glass for no apparent reason a couple of months ago. This supposedly happens at the plant all the time... Just got the invoice $2300+ and they are not covering it. I will never buy a Nissan.

    Xterras are the worst! In my years of doing this I have had 5 back windows shatter. 3 of them were Xterras.

    I've had a couple Dodge pickups do that. Back them off, and when you shut the driver's door the glass falls everywhere.
