My daughter was going through a mcdonalds drive thru with our 2008 Escape when she heard what she thought was a explosion and glass appeared everywhere in the vehicle. It scared the heck out of her! I reviewed other complaints about this and Ford doesn't seem to think this is a problem. I am wondering what might have happened if our granddaughter was in her infant seat facing backwards as she does! I feel that regardless of what Ford thinks, this is a safety issued. As if that isn't enough, the cost of this simple piece of glass is in excess of $600. 00 ! all but $250 of that was covered by that, however to me that is $250. 00 too much to pay for what appears to be a manufacturer design problem! the repair company (safelite glass - national company) says just in the joliet IL office they see this problem almost daily!.
