Consumer Description

REAR WINDOW "EXPLODED" OUTWARDS WITHOUT WARNING. IT WAS NOT HIT, THE WEATHER WAS COOL. THE BLOWOUT PATTERN SENT 99% OF THE GLASS INTO THE STREET A DISTANCE OF 30 FEET OR MORE. VERY LITTLE GLASS WAS INSIDE THE CAR. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER INCIDENTS OF THIS HAPPENING IN THE EXPEDITION/NAVIGATOR MODELS. IS THIS IN FACT A MODEL SPECIFIC OR DESIGN PROBLEM.*AK
