problem #1

Explorer

  • 689 miles
Just leased this 2016 Ford Explorer. It has 700 miles on it. We have not made a payment. I was driving down the road at about 30 miles per hour. Nobody was within a mile of me. I was alone in the car. The rear window exploded. I got out and checked the window. It clearly had exploded outward. There was no external source to cause the window to explode. I am a police officer, and have seen where windows explode or are smashed. The window will take a slight indent or poof outward from the force. In this case, the window was poofed outward. There was also a faint order in the car afterward. It almost smelled like the material from airbags, though clearly no airbag had deployed. I don't know if that was from the shattered glass or not.
