NHTSA Complaint #10936180 — 2011 FORD F-150

AFTER AUTO STARTING MY TRUCK ON THE MORNING OF DECEMBER 14 2016. UPON DEPARTING MY HOUSE, I HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE. HOWEVER I WAS NOT ABLE TO VERIFY WHERE IT CAME FROM UNTIL I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. I NOTICED A PATTERN ON MY SLIDING REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THE WINDOW WAS SHATTERED ALL THOUGH IT WAS STILL IN ONE PIECE. WHILE RESEARCHING METHODS OF REPAIR I DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 70 TIMES.IN PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT THIS COULD POSSIBLY BE ATTRIBUTED TO FAULTY CONSTRUCTION OR AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. I FEEL THIS IS A DRIVING HAZARD FOR BOTH DRIVER AND OCCUPANTS DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF MINUTE GLASS FRAGMENTS GETTING IN EYES AND CAUSING INJURY AND POSSIBLY A FATAL ACCIDENT. THEREFORE I FEEL THAT AN IMMEDIATE RECALL IS NECESSARY. PEOPLE HAVE LODGED COMPLAINTS SINCE 2010 UNTIL PRESENT. INJURY WOULD OCCUR IF THE WINDOW WAS TO BLOW OUT CAUSING INJURY OR ACCIDENT TO OTHER VEHICLES OR PERSONS FOLLOWING MINE OR OTHERS VEHICLES (MOTORCYCLIST). *TR
