What owners wrote
I sent this email to ford in september 2014 I was in an auto accident where by another vehicle hit a deer which landed on the driver side window which shattered into thousands of tiny shards of glass. For over 2 years, I have being dealing with thousands of tiny shards embedded through out my body (face, lips, hands, arms, legs, neck, chest) which over time are working their way out. It is very painful and leaving scars and disrupting my sleep on a regular basis.
The glass on the driver's side door of my vehicle has many vertical scratches - more as I use the window. I am fearful that as time passes these scratches will impair my view. I have read of many owners having the same problem and at least one in which the glass spontaneously 'spider webbed'. I have contacted the local ford dealer as well as ford customer care regarding this issue and because the vehicle is out of warranty for that component they will not repair.
