1 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2007

Driver's side window adjacent to third seat (cargo area) of 2000 Ford Expedition shattered for no apparent reason; window was open for ventilation per design (tempered glass window pivots open about 3" via electric actuator). Speed was 65 mph under calm conditions, smooth road surface. I initially believed I had suffered a complete left/rear tire failure as there was a very loud "bang" and a large amount of debris hurled into adjacent traffic lane. Approximately 1/4 of the volume of shattered glass was hurled into the passenger compartment, primarily in the third row. Fortunately I was alone in the vehicle; anyone in third row would have, at a minimum, suffered lacerations and likely eye injury.

Failure Date: 01/13/2004

Back window shattered while the vehicle was parked.

3 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2001

Had vehicle parked when rear window exploded for no reason. Had no warning of problems.
