Went to pull car out of garage and found that the rear window had exploded. Found parts of the window more than 20 feet from car. The car has not been driven for a couple of days. Nothing had failed or hit the window to have caused this.

Escape

  • 63,692 miles
Reporting an exploding back window issue on a 2004 Ford Escape. Once in 2005 and now again in 2009. The only thing both times had in common was the running of the rear window defroster. Ford has no recalls or bulletins and will not pay for second repair as it is out of warranty. I am concerned for the safety of people driving these vehicles and passengers they may have. There is no reason for this to happen once but twice is not acceptable. I was given nothing for my trouble and they are not researching this defect. Oh wait, I got a free oil change. The dealership I was dealing with was awesome...but the correspondence from Ford motor leaves a lot to be desired! someone needs to check into this issue.
