| Description of the problem | I got in my truck this morning 5/24/2020 closed my drivers door and heard a loud pop like a gun shot. I looked back and my rear glass exploded. Glass went everywhere. The truck had not been driven anywhere for 3 days. The truck has 42000 miles. The truck had 38 miles when i purchased it. This happened again in 2018. I went and got in the truck and started it. I heard a loud pop and the sliding glass in the rear window exploded. The truck had under 20000 miles. Ford would not cover it. I have read articles that state the problem may be the defroster getting to hot and shattering the glass. All i know is this is the second time in two years for this truck. The truck was not moving each time. |
