“On january 9, 2010 at approximately 2:00pm, while driving down a street near our home, the third row rear passenger side window just exploded and crumbled on our 2009 Ford Expedition. Nothing impacted the window from inside or out. We have only had this new vehicle for 4 months. We can only ascertain that the glass had a defect. This happened yesterday (a saturday) and we will be taking it to the dealer first thing tomorrow (monday) morning, but anticipate they will not take responsibility after speaking to the service department.”
