| Description of the problem | Got up and it was frosty and 24 digress outside so i remotely started my f-150 ford truck went out 10 min later and got on drivers seat and heard a loud bang as if rock had hit windshield. Got out looked all around but did not see what had caused the loud noise finally gave up and went about my day. The next day about noon i looked in my rear view mirror and seen the rear window behind driver was shattered in million pieces but still in place. Window is also tinted so hard to see from outside. Took clear packaging tape and put several pieces on inside and outside to keep intact for now. Went to put preasure on tape to adhere to pieces and got several fine cuts in fingers. Contacted ford sealed and said first time he had heard of this happening. Thinking that problem might cause this to happen again to the new windshield had to pay dealer to check if there was a electrical problem with controls. Said everything seemed fine and warranty was past and could not do anything to help financially when i called back to get reassurance that they would waranty replacement window if it happened again was told that he checked and this has been more comon then he thought, 4 this year already at their dealership |
