| Description of the problem | I wanted to make you aware of this situation that i've encountered. On the 3rd of december, i was going to my ford f150 xlt to go to work. My car was sitting in the back yard and i started it with the remote start to warm it up. I opened the door and glanced at the back window. I then saw that the entire window was shattered. I looked around for anything suspicious and found nothing. I checked to see if something fell on or hit my back window and still didn't see anything strange. I called my insurance provider and she thought that it had something to do with the weather, which was about 40 degrees. But when i checked the web, i found that there were more cases like mine. People who were just using the rear defroster and their back windows would crack and shatter. The reason that i'm sending the email is to find out if there is an open recall for these windows. I, along with other f150 owners, had no idea that the window would break from using the rear defroster or just regular operation of the car. There have been lots of cases regarding this issue and i want to help bring attention to it before there is a problem. Please email me back as soon as possible. |
