Consumer Description

I LEFT HOME FOR WORK ON 12/8/2016. THE TEMP WAS 7 DEGREES OUT AND MY BACK WINDOW WAS SLIGHTLY ICED OVER. I TURNED THE REAR DEFROST ON TO CLEAR UP THE WINDOW. WITHIN TEN MINUTES I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN GOING OFF. UPON INSPECTION I REALIZED THAT MY REAR 3 PEACE WINDOW HAD SPIDER CRACKED INTO THOUSANDS OF PEACES. THE SOUND IT MADE SENT ME OFF THE ROAD TO A FRANTIC STOP. THIS WAS IN TOWN GOING 30MPH. I'M SO GLAD MY KIDS WEREN'T IN THE REAR SEAT AS THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF SMALL GLASS PEACES. THIS WILL SET ME BACK $600 AND I CANT IMAGINE EVER USING THE REAR DEFROST BUTTON AGAIN AS IT MIGHT BE A FAULTY SWITCH THAT CAUSED THIS OR A FAULTY WINDOW. IT SEEMS THE MORE I FIND ON THE INTERNET THE MORE I REALIZE THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON. FORD MOTOR CO.SHOULD REALLY DO SOMETHING!
