NHTSA Complaint #10965819 — 2011 FORD F-150

IT WAS 15 DEGREES OUTSIDE. I USED MY ELECTRIC START. LET THE TRUCK WARM UP FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. WENT OUT TO TRUCK AND OPENED THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. I INSPECTED THE CAR AND FOUND THAT THE BACK WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT LOTS OF OTHER OWNERS ARE REPORTING THIS FROM A MALFUNCTION IN THE REAR DEFROST. I WAS NOT DRIVING AND THERE WAS NO OTHER THING THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY WINDOW TO SHATTER. I LIVE IN THE SUBURBS OF MINNEAPOLIS AND MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I AM JUST THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY THREE BOYS. I BELIEVE FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THE REAR WINDOW WITH SLIDER WITH POWER DEFROST AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
