| Description of the problem | Contacted ford first about rh rear defroster not working. Luckily only had the burnt smell and not the explosion of glass. Being this is the highest number of complaints on this site ford should really consider looking into this before possibly a child in a car seat gets a face full of glass. As usuall from ford i received the usual form letter back about not being under any recalls. Vehicle only has 32,400 miles on it. Would like to know the actual manufacture ford buys these from. Even offered if they were to send me a rear unit i would replace it myself as being a auto tech all my life and send the old unit back for verification. |
