Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR WINDOW SMOKING. BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER, THE WINDOW EXPLODED AND THE ENTIRE RIGHT SIDE WAS SHATTERED. MY SON WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF IT. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, I NOTICED WHERE THE RUBBER SEAL AROUND THE WINDOW WAS MELTED FROM BURNING, AND THERE WAS LIQUID DRAINING FROM THE AREA. I WAS TRAVELING TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND HAD MY REAR DEFOGGER IN USE. I HAVE NOTICED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OTHERS, BUT FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. *TR
