description: I REMOTE STARTED MY TRUCK AND IT STARTED SMOKING FROM THE REAR OF THE CREW CAB, IT WENT OUT BUT LEFT BROWN SNOW AROUND IT BUT ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD THE RIGHT REAR GLASS EXPLODED AND LUCKILY MY OLDEST DAUGHTER IS FORWARD FACING IN HER CHILD SEAT AND THE GLASS WENT OVER OR BEHIND HER CHAIR. IF MY YOUNGEST WAS THERE SHE WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY TAKEN GLASS TO THE FACE AND BEEN TOO YOUNG TO NOT PUT IT IN HER MOUTH IF IT DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY HURT HER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE REMOTE START WAS USED AND I BELIEVE MY VEHICLES REAR DEFROSTERS WERE ENGAGED DURING THE REMOTE START.THE SMOKE STARTED IMMEDIATELY AND I SHUT IT OFF TO GET IT TO GO AWAY AND REMOVED THEM STAINED SNOW FROM THE AREA. THE GLASS EXPLODED ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO OTHER WARNING SIGN. I SAW ONLINE THAT CANADA ALREADY HAS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS FIRE/SAFETY HAZARD AND I?M NOT SURE THE OUT OF POCKET REPLACEMENT WINDOW I GET WILL MAKE THE TRUCK ANY SAFER FOR ME AND MY KIDS.
