Consumer Description

Rear window suddenly shattered while driving . No other vehicles around . Entire windshield shattered and pieces are now falling into back hatch area . There were no passengers with me at the time . This renders the car not safe to drive . I was pulling into my driveway but had I been out on the highway (In January) this would soon become an issue of exposure to below freezing temperatures. Ford claims they have never heard of this when I’m finding other reports of this happening online . Dealership is saying it’s replaced at all my cost also ? Seems like a manufacturing fault ? There is a FSA # [XXX] that Canadian owners have listed. My car originally was sold in North Dakota. Currently I’m in Nebraska . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
