LAST NIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 8:30 PM, A PLEASANT EVENING AT ABOUT 65 DEGREES AND A LIGHT RAIN; FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER THE REAR QUARTER (AUTOMATED) WINDOW EXPLODED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE GLASS WAS ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLES BACK AND MIDDLE SEATS AS WELL AS IN THE DRIVEWAY. BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I THINK THIS QUALIFIES AS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE OF THE SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING EVERYWHERE; IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN ANYBODY IN THE VAN THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THEM SERIOUS INJURY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS ISSUE AND BACK IT UP WITH ACTION BY FINDING AND FIXING THE PROBLEM; OR AT THE VERY LEAST COVER THE COST OF THE DAMAGES. *TR
