In my year 2000 Ford 150. I had the passenger window down and noticed it was sprinkling. I went outside to put the window up and when I closed the door, the back window of the truck literally smashed to pieces. I was told it was because of heat. I took pictures of everything. I am writing this as a recall so no one else will experience this or possibly get hurt. Also, the motor blew out at in the range of 180,000 miles. I was told the rods were knocking so hard.
