On two separate occasions, the rear window exploded while parked unattended in a parking lot. The rear window defroster had been on prior to incident. Security cameras reveal thee was no human tampering prior to explosion.
Yesterday I drove around town running errands in my 2002 Ford Escape and it was fine. Came home last night (temperature outside was around 27 degrees outside) and parked it in garage. When I went out to garage next day (14 hours later) to leave again I noticed my Ford Escape had it's back glass that was completely shattered out of it and all over the floor of the garage. All doors to garage were shut and locked. This explosion of glass happened all by itself after being parked there the night before. Also have an issue with air bag light and check fuel cap light that has both been staying on and cannot get either to stay off!! worried vehicle is gonna fall apart some day before I get my child to his school one morning..not dependable vehicle after all!! :( seems I have read many many other complaints online about these problems from Escape owners wanting to know..are there no recalls for the backglass"? or even anything else for this vehicle?" feeling unsafe for my child to ride in now!!
