Description of the problem | This morning i was in a city street had just left home and turn on the front defogger, after 2-3 min. I noticed some smoke and smelled something burning. Then i heard a crackling sound. I looked around and didnt know what was burning. I then turned around to head back home. There was no one else on the road. I then turned off the defogger and noticed the cracking sound was my windshield had cracked from the bottom left side above where the vin # is located. Now im afraid that my truck will catch on fire if i turn on the front defogger. So, i wondering if you have received any complaints regarding the defogger. |
