Escape Hybrid

  • 114,000 miles
The back window shattered at the gas station after I got gas and put air in the tires. As I slowly came to a roll my back window exploded in the gas station parking lot. Shattered into a million pieces. It's all over the ground at the gas station and the tiny pieces are all over the inside of my vehicle. The vehicle was barely in motion as I had not exited the gas station parking lot when it happened.

Car was parked in our carport overnight (12/24-25, 2015). When I came out the rear window was shattered. Most of the glass was outside the car, perhaps 5 percent was inside. No fallen branches, no sign of foul play, none of our other cars were damaged in any way. I looked up and found that similar incidents of "random rear window explosion" had been reported on Ford escapes, and that there was an active NHTSA investigation happening, so I wanted to add our incident to the list.
