| Description of the problem | I used the remote starter in the morning to warm up my truck. As i entered the driver side door and sat down i heard a loud pop almost like a small gun fired. Shortly after i could hear the crunching of the rest of my back window shattering. I could also smell smoke inside the vehicle. After checking on line it seems this is a common issue with the rear de-froster. |
