NHTSA Complaint #11363488 — 2018 FORD F-150

THE REAR WINDOW ON MY 2018 FORD F-150 SHATTERED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE MIDDLE SLIDING WINDOW WITH NO IMPACT. THE REAR WINDOW SHATTERED OUTWARD TOWARDS THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND AND NOT INSIDE FURTHER CONFIRMING THE SHATTERED WINDOW WAS NOT DUE TO IMPACT OF ANY KIND. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED STATIONARY AT MY OFFICE PARKING GARAGE ON AN 80-85 DEGREE DAY WHEN THE REAR WINDOW RANDOMLY SHATTERED OUTWARD. THE EDGES OF THE GLASS THAT ATTACHED TO THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK CAB ALSO SHATTERED AND "SPIDER WEBBED" ACROSS THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW JUST AS A BUILDING WINDOW BREAKS WHEN UNDER STRESS FROM STRUCTURAL MOVEMENT OR SHIFTING. THE REAR WINDOW CLEARLY SHATTERED OUTWARD FROM STRESS ON THE GLASS WHILE MY TRUCK WAS PARKED AND NOT MOVING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS INCIDENT AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER FORD TRUCKS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE REAR WIND SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERING WITH NO IMPACT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND I AM RELIEVED THAT I WAS NOT OPERATING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED.
