| Description of the problem | Driving down road. Smell electrical burning smell. A minute later the rear window explodes into a million pieces. Call dealership. They say "we've never seen that problem before." take it to window repair shop. "oh we see this with f150s several times per week." they tell me its due to the rear defrost not automatically turning off. I had turned it on a week before to defrost the rear windows. I had not turned it on the day it exploded. Ford knows this is an issue. Otherwise, why would one small window repair place see this several times/week? |
