| Description of the problem | While driving on a local road (approx. 45 mph, raining, approx. 50 degrees outside) heard a sound that sounded like a gun shot. Looked around and didn't see anything next to me or behind me. When next stopped the truck got out to check to see if something happened to the truck body. Then realized the passenger side back rear window shattered. (it's a 3-part rear window.) looking very closely, the glass spidered, starting from the bottom corner closest to the center window up to the opposite top corner. The glass spidered inside the car. Outside the glass, although still intact, was buckled facing out. At the time this happened, the rear window defroster was on. When got back in truck to travel home, during the drive the window broke with small pieces of glass falling all over the back seat. Very lucky that no one, family or pet, was in the backseat when this happened as would have been hit by broken glass. Believe this issue is related to rear defroster along with glass manufacturing. Contacted the local ford dealership and since car is out of warranty they can fix but at least $1000. Contacted ford motor company, no recall available. |
