I WENT OUT AND STARTED THE VAN SO IT COULD WARM UP AND THEN WENT IN TO GET MY DAUGHTER READY FOR HER DENTIST APPOINTMENT. THE VAN HAD WARMED APPROXIMATELY 25 MIN WHEN WE GOT IN. I WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY AND NOTICED THERE WAS FROST ON THE REAR LIFT GATE WINDOW, NOT A LOT JUST ENOUGH TO DECREASE MY VISIBILITY, SO I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROSTER. APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE DOWN THE HIGHWAY THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND FOLLOWED BY GLASS SHATTERING, CAUSING ME TO SLAM THE BRAKES AND PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I THEN REALIZED THAT THE REAR LIFT GATE GLASS HAD SHATTERED OUT. FORTUNATELY NO OTHER CARS WERE ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME AND NO ONE WAS INJURED JUST FRIGHTENED. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPOKE WITH A GENTLEMAN THERE. I WAS TOLD HE COULD NOT DO...
