| Description of the problem | I like to report of port a problem with the dodge ram 2006 mega cab. This seems to be a recurring problem with many owners about the driver side windows and the pastor side when windows front and back however my problem consists of just the front driver side window the driver side window appears to crack on the edge down below for no apparent reason whatsoever whenever this vehicles get extremely cold or extremely warm in my case it was extremely cold day when my window cracked on the bottom i did some checking in the investigation on this problem in discovered that this problem has happened many many times before with a lot of other people for no apparent reason and just like mine it was just parked in the front driveway or parked in the garage and some people said when this happened there's reported this happening when i was parked in the parking lot somewhere back to my case my case consists of it being parked in the front driveway and when i went out to start the vehicle i started it in mind you it was 40 to 50 below zero before windchill i was i cleaned off my windows got in my truck and close the door like i normally do when i say start to move out my driveway and down the gravel road that i live on and i heard a noise and i looked over in the bottom half of my window had cracked all along the bottom edge now maybe i'm wrong but i believe this to be a safety issue with these vehicles and the one that needs to be addressed i would appreciate problem be solved for these windows in these mega cabs are very expensive to be replacing when they get cracked for no apparently reason lucky some insurance companies will replace this however this is a recurring problem with the mega cabs and can be very costly for these windows range quite a bit ps thank you for your time and i appreciate you addressing my problem. |
