Consumer Description

I OWN A 2011 FORD F150. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST WEEK IN THE DARK I JUST GOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK OR A GUN WAS SHOT. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, I THEN NOTICED THE REAR DEFROSTER LIGHT WAS NOT ON I WENT TO TURN IT ON AND IT DID NOT GO ON THAT IS WHEN I LOOKED AT MY BACK WINDOW AND NOTICED IT WAS SHATTERED ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. WHEN I GOT HOME I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND SAW THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING A LOT SO I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THE WINDOW AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CHECKED THERE RESOURCES AND VERIFIED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY RECALLS OR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAMS AT THIS TIME AND IT MUST BE INSPECTED BY A FORD DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF ANY SYMPTOMS MY VEHICLE MAY BE EXPERIENCING. WENT TO FORD DEALER THEY SAID THAT I SHOULD JUST GO TO A GLASS SPECIALIST TO HAVE IT FIXED. SO I TOOK IT TO A GLASS SPECIALIST AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE REPLACED AT LEAST 14 REAR WINDOWS ON FORD TRUCKS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS, I SHOULD CALL FORD AND COMPLAIN AND HANG ON TO MY RECEIPT.
