Consumer Description

JANUARY 29, 2019 I WAS SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AFTER LEAVING OFFICE AND HEARD A BIG POP NOISE, SCARED ME TO DEATH. IT WAS DARK AND COLD AND COULD NOT TELL WHERE IT CAME FROM, IT WASN'T TILL I LEFT FOR WORK THE NEXT MORNING IN THE SUNSHINE I SAW MY BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED (HARD TO TELL WITH THE HEAD REST AT NIGHT). WHEN I GOT TO OFFICE I LOOKED ON OUTSIDE OF WINDOW FOR DAMAGE BUT COULD HARDLY TELL IT WAS SHATTERED AND THERE WAS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO OUTSIDE OF GLASS OR BODY OF MY F-150. I HAVE A POWER REAR MIDDLE WINDOW AND IT WAS FINE, IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. ALSO MY REAR DEFROST WAS NOT ON. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO A LOT OF F-150 TRUCKS. I GOT A QUOTE AND IT WAS $800.00 DOESN'T SEEM FAIR THAT THIS IS HAPPENING QUITE A BIT TO ALL THE DIFFERENT MODEL YEARS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RECALLED.
