Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 FORD ESCAPE AND I WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AT MY WORK AND CAME OUT AFTER I STARTED MY REMOTE STARTER INSIDE TO FIND MY CARS REAR WINDOW BLOWN OUT. MY HUSBAND HAD TURNED ON MY REAR DEFROST THAT MORNING. IT HAS NEVER BEEN ON BEFORE, WHICH I AM SURE IS THE CAUSE BEHIND IT. I CAME HOME AND CALLED POLICE. MY REAR GLASS WINDOW AND THE ARMS FOR IT ARE RUINED. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THEM TO BE REPLACED. THEN I GOOGLED IT AND FOUND THE FORD FORUM AND HEARD EVERYONE ELSE'S INCIDENTS AND IT SOUNDED QUITE FAMILIAR. I AM HAPPY THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN I WAS GOING DOWN THE ROAD, I HAVE A SEVEN YEAR OLD THAT SITS IN A BOOSTER SEAT AND IF IT HURT HIM IN ANY WAY I WOULD FEEL SORRY FOR FORD CAUSE I WOULD BE THEIR WORST NIGHTMARE. OR WHERE I WAS PARKED AT MY WORK (NURSING HOME) THAT IS WHERE THE RESIDENTS GO OUT FOR A CIGARETTE SO IF IT EXPLODED IN THEIR FACE. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LAW SUIT FOR SURE, NOT TO MENTION WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO THEM. *TR
