NHTSA Complaint #11359967 — 2015 FORD F-150

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AFTER DROPPING MY DAUGHTER OFF AND OUT OF NOWHERE I HEARD A VERY LOUD POP SOUND. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND THE ENTIRE BACK WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. I WAS ON A MAIN ROAD. SMOOTH. GOING APPROX 40-50MPH. NO CARS WERE BEHIND ME. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF IT WAS STRUCK BY A ROCK OR FALLING OBJECT... NO CLEAR IMPACT. IT WAS EVENLY SHATTERED ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDOW. IT WAS ABOUT 65 DEGREES F. DEFROST WAS NOT ON AT THE TIME. SMELLED SIMILAR TO THAT BURNING SMELL AFTER AN AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I DROVE STRAIGHT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING BEFORE "WOLTZ & WIND FORD, INC" IN PITTSBURGH. THANK GOD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WITH MY NEWBORN AND 2 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THE NUMBER FOR SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE. FORD SHOULD ADDRESS THIS. IMAGINE IF I WERE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE WINTER ACROSS THE STATE AND THIS HAPPENED. WE TYPICALLY DRIVE THROUGH THE NIGHT. IT'S NOT SAFE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I WANT FORD TO COVER THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE.
