Escape

  • miles
My 2005 ford escape was sitting in my carport for 2 days. I went out to go to the store and the back window was shattered in a million pieces all over the driveway and back bumper. That was also glass inside the car. I called the police and they came out and looked at it and took pictures and I took pictures also they said it had not been vandalized that it must have exploded from the inside out. I read about a lot of other people having the same problem. Ford needs to have a recall on this. It could have happened while I was driving or children could have been hurt sitting in the backseat this is not like

I started up my car and let it run for approx 10 min. Put my rear window defroster on for about 10 min while driving to work. Sitting at a light, my rear window exploded. I was not moving, my car was warmed up. Not sure what happened. Police report processed. Ford fixed it for a huge amt not covered by warranty.
