My rear windshield exploded. It was parked. The car was running, I closed the driver door and the windshield shattered. It was made by carlite. Ford is not showing any concern, nor the dealership. It's a very expensive fix and makes it worse that it shattered on its own. Ford has had a bad rap with glass for a long time though, just wish I would have known about it before now. They want a car payment every month but don't want to take responsibility for a poor quality department. I am not sure what a person is suppose to do anymore. If you don't have a savings it's down to either paying for the car that now has no rear windshield or get a windshield. Don't want to turn it into insurance, rates will go up for something I didn't cause and its a 500 dollar deductible. I will never buy a Ford again nor any vehicle that has carlite glass.

The contact owns a 2012 Ford Focus. The contact stated that the plastic glaze on the windshield separated from the glass, which caused poor visibility. Also, while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle hesitated and made a bucking motion. The dealer stated that the computer needed to be recalibrated. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 27,000.
