About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
After closing the rear door, the rear window exploded with extreme force, sending glass fragments to the far edges of the garage. There was nothing in the car to hit the window and the garage door was closed. Fortunately I was not standing behind the car or I may have been seriously injured. I find many occurrences of this for the Ford escape which I understand is the sister car to the Mariner. Even though Mercury will no longer be made, the escape will continue to be made. I believe the window design to be defective and needs to be investigated.
