| Description of the problem | I was driving on a residential street with the rear defroster on. Snow and low temps were happening at the time. While driving it sounded like a gun shot went off. I checked my mirrors and rear view mirror and that's when i noticed the rear window drivers side was shattered. Thank god no one was sitting there. Upon some internet searching this is a well known event for f-150 and ford still has done nothing about it. |
