| Description of the problem | I was driving down the street when all of a sudden i heard a very loud noise like a gun shot. My ford freestar van back window exploded while i had children in the back seat. They could have been cut up or killed sitting back there. It was a scary situation and i would love it if this complaint could get to the ford corp. They should recall these vans. |
