Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW FORD ESCAPE ~ 1.5 YEARS AGO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ~ 40 MPH AND SUDDENLY MY BACK WINDSHIELD EXPLODED. SHARDS OF GLASS BLEW INTO MY TRUNK AS WELL AS THE BACK SEAT. WHEN I WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP, THEY EXPLAINED THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD NOT HELP ME. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY REFERRED ME TO A LOCAL GLASS SHOP SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WAS SO OVER-PRICED. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A FOREIGN OBJECT HITTING MY EXTERIOR WINDOW, SO I WOULD LIKE TO WARN ALL FORD ESCAPE OWNERS OF THIS HAZARD TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES. *NM
