“While driving the F-250 on a rural expressway at approximately 75 MPH the drivers side window imploded into the vehicle with no apparent prior impact to the glass. The outside temperature at the time was around 17 degrees f and the interior of the vehicle was approximately 73 degrees f. Driver was hit with shattered glass but no major cuts occurred. The window was not covered by warranty and the owner had to pay for replacement.”

NHTSA complaint #10678572, filed 2015-01, 21,000 miles“The contact stated that light reflects onto the dashboard, resulting in visibility issue with the speedometer. The dealership has been alerted.
