Description of the problem	Very cold morning, 3/4/2012, vehicle started by remote at 5:30am. Approximately 10 minutes after starting, i went out, opened both driver side doors, put my gear in the back seat, closed the rear door, got in the driver seat , closed the door, put seat belt on, foot on the brake, moved console shift lever to r, when a very loud bang occurred. It sounded like a shotgun. I looked around but did not see anything. Thought it may have been a window, but could not tell with salt spray on windows and darkness. I drove roughly 12 miles, picked up a co-worker who got in and asked immediately what happened to your rear window? I called my local dealer a short time later and was told to bring it in to be looked at. I could not do that until saturday 3/8/14. When the dealer checked it out, they said they would contact ford and that it would take 8-10 days for a determination. They seemed to be unaware of a larger problem than just my window. After researching on the web, i found that this problem is not uncommon in this model and year. On monday 3/10/14 after work, i got in my truck, only to have most of the glass fall out when i closed my door. It would have been nice if the dealer had taped the glass , i thought it was laminated. Because i now had a big hole in window, i stopped at a glass company, to see how soon they could replace it, with rain and snow predicted for midweek. When they called to check availability, they were told that there were none available, that there was a problem w/ the driver's side blowing out. I believe that ford has known this for quite some time, as evidenced by web blogs documenting the problem and ford's delay or denial in taking care of the problems. Some complaints have stated that children were in the rear seat at the time of the implosion. I would think that anyone exposed to the noise that it makes could be subject to hearing loss. Recall ?

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
