Rear window shattered on 2017 Ford Explorer. Car was sitting in a closed garage, 10pm temp was 40 degrees. Car had been driven one hour prior to get gas and no issues. I had just cleaned the rear window with a window washer prior.
Car was parked in a driveway in a mostly-shaded spot. 78 f degree day. No extreme weather conditions. Found rear window had exploded/shattered. Window bowed outward as if pressure came from inside the car or from the edges of the window. No prior damage or issues with rear window prior to this. Police came to scene and drew same conclusion that window had exploded/shattered and must be result of a defect. A hole was present and the enter window had shatter patterns, including all around the edges. Thankfully, we were not driving or in motion when it happened, or it could have resulted in injury to passengers or a car behind me.
Over the time of ownership for this Ford Explorer (original owner) the window trim and the gasket under the trim has continued to fall off. The gasket on the passenger side has come out enough to where when you are driving it is slapping the window which is very distracting and unsafe to the driver. Most of the gasket has already ripped off. I contacted Ford and they refused to cover it under the warranty. The trim is a one time use item so to replace it they must break it and it cost over $1000 per Ford. This needs to be a recall item it is unsafe!.

The right rear quarter panel window spontaneously shattered while the car was parked at the end of my driveway, obstructing visability.
