| Description of the problem | After remotely starting my truck, i was sitting in the driver's seat putting on my seat belt and preparing to start driving home when i heard a loud "bang". I got out thinking that something hit the truck, but saw no sign of anything like that had occur. After arriving at home, i opened the back door on the driver's side to retrieve my work belongings, that is when i noticed that the driver's side panel of the rear window was shattered and completely spider-webbed. The temperature at the time of this occurrence was approximately 32 degrees fahrenheit. The remote start setting for the rear defroster is set to automatic, so i don't know if it came on during the remote start. The vehicle was stationary and idling at the time of the incident. The vehicle is a 2013 ford f-150 fx4 with 27,000 miles. The vehicle is equipped with rear defroster and a power rear window. |
