VISIBILITY/WIPER
IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016, I PULLED INTO DELACY FORD IN ELMA, NEW YORK. I WAS THERE TO INFORM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW DEFROSTER WAS NOT WORKING. AFTER SHUTTING OF THE VEHICLE, AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, ONE THIRD OF THE WINDOW BLEW UP. I WAS INFORMED THAT APPARENTLY FORD WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THOSE WINDOWS. THE WINDOW WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT NO COST WELL FOR THE LAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR DEFROSTER. IT IS NOT WORKING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE WINDOWS. THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT UNLESS I PAID FOR IT. $1800. IF THERE IS SUCH A PROBLEM WITH THESE WINDOWS WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ??

VISIBILITY/WIPER
BEFORE ENTERING THE VEHICLE I USED THE FACTORY REMOTE START OPTION. UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE I WAS PREPARING TO DEPART FROM THE PARKING SPACE. MYSELF AND THE OTHER OCCUPANT OF THE VEHICLE HEARD A LOUD "BANG". UPON LOOKING TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW HAD SHATTERED. AT THIS POINT IT WAS STILL CRACKLING AS IT HAD JUST HAPPENED. I THEN EXITED THE VEHICLE AND INSPECTED THE WINDOW FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF IMPACT. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. IT IS FROM THE WAY THE WINDOW IS MADE IN A PLASTIC HOUSING, WHEN THE REAR DEFROSTER COMES ON IT HEATS THE GLASS, AND THE GLASS HAS NO ROOM FOR EXPANSION AND IT CAUSES IT TO SHATTER. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 22 DEGREES F.
