I was driving my 2006 Freestyle (which I purchased used in Nov. 2009) in late February on a upper 30's degree day. I turned into a parking lot and heard a loud bang and the window next to my 7 year old daughter shattered. It looked like it was blown out. Looked on line and saw many complaints about Fords - mostly escapes - with exploding window problems. Didn't get any satisfaction from my dealer or Ford. Hope it doesn't happen again.
