A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
I was driving on I.90 west(Freeway) in Cleveland.The temperature was approx, 20 degrees when I heard a loud explosion and noticed that my rear window had exploded and all the glass was all inside my car. When I was able to pull over, I called 911 and connected to the Brathnall Police department. When they came to the scene they said that they have never seen any thing like that before.
At the moment I am trying to get my vehicle fixed. I was not aware that Ford was having these problems with the Escape before. Why won't the Govt, order Ford to recall the vehicles and replace the rear windows?.
