| Description of the problem | Truck was parked in driveway. Remote started, sat for 5 minutes in driveway. Entered truck and heard a pop. Looked in rear view mirror and noticed drivers side pane of rear power sliding window had shattered, apparently the rear window defroster over heats the glass and causes it to explode. Having dome some research this has been happening to many f-150 owners from 2010 right up to 2015. Ford refuses to replace glass. Ha there been a child in a rear facing car seat in the vehicle it could have caused injury from the shards of glass. This is a wide spred problem from what my research shows. I implore the nhtsa to issue a recall on the defroster and have ford motor company absorb the cost of repair and replacement of windows affected by defective defrosters. Vehicle has 30k miles on it, not accidents, no negligence by owner |
