What owners wrote

Last week I started my morning commute @ 5am. 5 minutes after departure - I heard the equivalent of a 22 caliber gun being fired in the cab of my 2010 ford f150 platinum. Alarmed by the sound I swerved into the adjacent lane, thankfully there were not many other drivers on the road. I exited the vehicle and began a visual inspection, immediately, I saw my passenger rear window shattered and smoldering in the lower left corner.

My driver's side window make a loud noise and abruptly fell while driving yesterday. This is on my 2004 ford f-150 crew cab. It is quite a distraction when this happens while driving down a highway in the midst of rush hour traffic.
