I HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION WHEN MY BACK GLASS EXPLODED. I WAS THE ONLY VEHICLE THERE AND I WAS HARDLY EVEN GOING 5 MPH! I IMMEDIATELY EXITED MY VEHICLE TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAD HIT IT, AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN OR AROUND MY VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR SHATTERED GLASS. THE GLASS WAS EVERY WHERE; INSIDE THE BACK, ON THE BUMPER, AND EVEN ON TOP OF THE ROOF! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE! WILLIAM FORD AND MARK FIELDS, I WANT THIS FIXED! IF MY TWO YEAR OLD WERE IN THE CAR HE WOULD BE COVERED IN GLASS! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! *TR

CAR WAS PARKED. REAR WINDOW EXPLODED AND BURN MARKS WERE SEEN ON THE GLASS. THUS FAR OUR COST TO REPLACE THE WINDOW AND WIPER BLADE MOTOR AND BLADE HAS BEEN 460 DOLLARS. WE FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM BUT THE WINDOW REPAIR CAME IN UNDER THE DEDUCTIBLE. THE WIPER MOTOR WAS CONSIDERED TO BE WEAR AND TEAR AND THUS WAS NOT COVERED. I HOPE A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE ACCORDING TO POSTS WE HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET. *TR

AS I WAS COMING OUT OF WORK TO GO TO LUNCH I WALKED UP TO THE CAR AND SAW ALL SORTS OF GLASS ON THE GROUND AND THEN LOOKED UP AND SAW THAT MY REAR WINDOW HAD BLOWN OUT. THE RUBBER THAT HOLDS THE WINDOW WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I HAD A POLICE OFFICER COME OUT AND LOOK AT IT AND HE DETERMINED THAT IT WAS NOT VANDALISM OF ANY TYPE. IT WAS A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY AND ABOUT 28 DEGREES. IT WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AND IT JUST BLEW OUT. I AM GRATEFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE I DRIVE QUITE A WAYS TO WORK ON A VERY BUSY ROAD AND IF THAT HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT MAY OF CAUSED A SERVE ACCIDENT. *TR
