    This morning, i got in my truck and started it. As i was pulling out of my parking space, less then 1 minute with the engine running, i heard a huge pop in my backseat. I look back, the drivers side rear window just shattered. I got out and immediately took pictures, see below, and checked for any impacts and there were none. My window literally shattered on its own. I am taking it to ford this afternoon after work.

    Pulled the truck out of the garage to warm up. It was about 35 degrees fahrenheit. And when i got out into the cold air, the rear cab window shattered. There was no impact from anything, just simply the change in temperature was enough to shatter the glass.

    My door latch and striker are in need of replacement. The door rattles going down the road. The truck has never been in an accident that may have caused this. My concern is it seems to be similar to the problem with my ford fusion. The dealership in requesting $535 to repair. I believe this to be something that should be part of a recall. Drivers door
