| Description of the problem | Today, 1/17/16 on my way home i turned on the rear defroster but the light didn't come on so i assumed a fuse had blown or something. Then while continuing on my drive home, about 5-10 minutes, later i heard a loud sound like a gun shot and when i turned to see what it was low and behold the passenger rear window was shattered. Apparently this has happened to hundreds if not thousands of ford trucks from 2009-2014 and something needs to be done about this. Us as consumers shouldn't have to bare the burden of the expense for repair of a known defective part, or as some of the dealers have suggested, file the claim with your insurance company. Here again, it is exactly these types of claims that will keep increasing insurance premiums for us consumers because large corporations like ford will not step up and do what they know is the right thing and issue a recall. |
