What owners wrote
While driving an alamo rental car on july 21, 2000, on I-94 outside of minneapolis, minnesota, the left front window, driver's side, literally exploded in my ear. I was going approximately 60 - 65 MPH and what occurred was literally an explosive decompression. The window glass shattered, most going out the window but some fragments entering inside the vehicle. I controlled the vehicle and steered it onto the shoulder where we stopped.
Windshield wipers work and go through their cycles but do not park and instead stick straight up. This is a visibility hazard and well known by the dealership mechanics in this model century, yet as far as I know, there is no safety recall. I do not feel that I should have to pay for this repair.
