Consumer Description

I have researched this problem of the rear window defroster not working and the rear window exploding. There are several hundred cases of this but nothing has been done. Ford has not been receptive to fix this issue and I think it is time to hold them accountable. They will offer to replace the window at over $1200. This is something that should be a safety concern since you really can't clean this without getting into the bed of the truck which is dangerous especially in winter time. This also affects the side mirrors. I am quite fed up with these companies not being held accountable.
