Driver Side Door Glass Exploded

Glad you are fine ! Same thing happened to me when I was driving on I-10 near baytown, but it missed the glass, I have one deep scratch on my passenger door. There were no cars in my adjacent lanes, so I was surprised. But I guess it was rock chip thrown from the trailer which was far away from my car, but not sure
it's going to happen again. document everything.

you also need to report it ntsb and/or nhtsa

Btw I wasn't concerned about how much the windshield was I was more concerned that it could have been alot worse & being that my car is only 14 days old is a bit scary... But im ok wheew Originally Posted by Dorthy_Monroe
I would not be surprised that your car is in fact a lemon car. Keep an eye on it for suspect problems in the future and keep in contact with the dealership about those problems.

If the service manager doesn't help then fall back to the ole tried and true.......offer to blow him. Originally Posted by likingthekitty

So which one was broken the door window or the windshield?
I caught that too .....

...... but feared the throat punch.
@Dorothy - check the VIN # to see if there are any pending recalls.. do some research and see if other people are having this issue...

If this is the first time it happened, could be a fluke, bad glass, etc.. if you were moving the window up or down it is possible it hit a bind and coupled with faulty glass it popped.

Glad you are OK.. but I am sure it scared the bejeebers out of ya
