Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND WAS STANDING BESIDE MY FORD ESCAPE WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND THE REAR GLASS JUST EXPLODED AS HE STOOD THERE. FOR NO REASON AT ALL THE WHOLE WINDOW BLEW OUT. IF HE HAD BEEN STANDING ANY CLOSER, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN CUT BY GLASS OR IT COULD HAVE EXPLODED IN HIS FACE CAUSING EYE DAMAGE. I HAVE READ A LOT ONLINE WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER FORD ESCAPE OWNERS AND YET FORD IS STILL NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 01/06/11 *BF THE REAR HATCH GLASS WAS DEFECTIVE. UPDATED 01/24/11
