| Description of the problem | I was sitting in my car with the rear window defroster on (60 or 70 degrees outside) and heard a very loud pop. When i looked at the back window it had exploded (shattered completely with no spider web cracks) and no one driving nearby, cutting grass, walking, etc - there was no one around, nothing next to the truck or in the bed that could have hit the window. I looked it up online in multiple forums and found that a very large number of complaints described the exact same thing happening to 2010 f-150s with rear defroster on. The window replacement company in town also stated they had replaced 3 or 4 windows that had the same thing happen. I'm lucky no one was sitting next to the window because small shards of glass fell into the seat and interior of the truck. *js |
