| Description of the problem | We remote started the truck to let it warm up before heading off to school. Our oldest child grabbed his backpack and loaded up in his seat and said he smelled something burning in the back seat of the truck. Right after that he heard a loud popping sound and the back window of the truck shattered. If this had happened on the highway my kids could have been covered in glass. I believe the rear glass overheated and busted the window. Luckily the vehicle was parked at the time under our carport and not in motion and the overheat did not result in a fire. |
