| Description of the problem | January 28, 2019 rear electric sliding window (3 piece unit) shattered for no reason. No one hit it, throw anything at it, or shot it. The sound does sound like a someone shot at you. The truck was sitting in the drive warming up as usual (electric start), get in, close the door and boom the driver side rear window panel shatters. Take it back to the place we bought it and they told us there was nothing they could do. Warranty would not cover either. Safelight ordered us a window, installed it, and proceeded to tell us that this has happen to many ford trucks before. We were dodge truck people until the air bag recall, changed to ford and this happens, whats next? This seems like a big problem when ford has numerous people complaining about the same problem all over the u. S. This has happened once, will it happen again? I sure hope not. If it should happen when i have my children with me or my elderly parents with me, god forbid they should get hurt by glass, i will be suing. Or even cause me to have an accident while driving. |
