| Description of the problem | Driving down the street, without the rear defrost on, and heard a large boom, which i discovered the next morning was the rear window blowing out on my truck. Looks like this is a common situation with these types of vehicles and ford is not taking responsibility for the problem. There is a massive blog, with dozens of accounts of similar experiences. Vehicle was going abprox 5 mph as i was just leaving from a stop light. I was on a city street in reno, nv. This happened on 1/27/21 about 5:30pm. I contact nv energy to see if a transformer had blown, checked vehicle for impact form an object, and no evidence of either. Glass now in the vehicle and continues to fall apart. Just lucky i didn't have passengers in the back seat!! |
