| Description of the problem | The rear driver side window shattered this morning from having my rear defroster on. I turned my defrosters on before work this morning and then drove approx 3 miles before hearing a loud sound from the top rear of my vehicle. It was a clear 1 lane road so it wasn't possible for anything to have hit me. Eventually i saw that the entire rear window was shattered. The only thing unique was that i had my defrosters on. I looked on the internet to see if this could have been the cause and quickly realized that this is a known issue reported my many people. However, it doesn't seem like ford will accept it as their fault. |
