“11/8/2020, 9:00 a.m. The rear glass imploded and shattered when the driver door was closed upon driver getting in. The engine was not started, when the rear glass shattered. The 2017 Ford f150 was sitting in our driveway. We live in the country with a fence around the house area. The vehicle was not disturbed, nor was it a cold morning, about 75 degrees.”

West hurr Ford of rochester ny told me they would not perform the recall until the door latch actually froze.
