| Description of the problem | Heading east on hwy 18 at 55 mph between cobb and edmund wi, which is a very straight, smooth section of highway, i heard a very loud bang. I thought i must have lost a chunk of ice underneath the truck, but it was so loud, i was skeptical that was truly it. My rear window defrost light flickered on and off a few times during the drive, but i didn't notice until i got to work (about 8 miles later) that the rear window on the driver's side was completely shattered, but still intact with the frame. Immediately drove to the dealership where i was told they've heard of this, but there is no recall. I have a friend who owns a body shop and he suggested i cover the shattered glass with crash wrap, so i took it there and they did so. If i had a child in the back seat, they could have had hearing damage from the loud pop that occurred. I'm very upset that they are aware of the problem, which has persisted over 7 years according to research, and have done nothing to remedy the situation or provide compensation for repairs. |
