I WAS DRIVING HOME AROUND 9 PM. IT WAS ABOUT 40 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON. MY TWO KIDS WERE IN THE BACK SEAT AND MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2006 FORD ESCAPE JUST SHATTERED. WE PULLED OVER TO SEE IF SOMEONE HAD THROWN SOMETHING AT THE CAR, BUT THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND EXCEPT A FATHER AND HIS YOUNG CHILDREN. HE HADN'T SEEN ANYTHING BUT SAID HE HEARD THE WINDOW BREAK AS WE DROVE BY. THERE WAS GLASS ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I AM THANKFUL THAT MY KIDS WERE NOT HURT, BUT I AM SHOCKED THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN. I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. *TR

STEERING
AT 40-45 MPH HEAR WHEEL BEARING NOISE. DEALER CONFIRMED AND BOTH RIGHT FRONT BEARINGS (MAIN AND CARRIER) REPLACED BY FORD DEALER. STILL HAD NOISE AFTER REPLACEMENT. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE CARRIER BEARING JUST REPLACED WAS BAD. REPLACED CARRIER BEARING AGAIN BUT STILL HAVING SAME NOISE. DEALER STATED THERE HAVE BEEN MANY WHEEL BEARING PROBLEMS, AND THAT FAULTY BEARINGS ARE COMING TO FORD FROM VENDOR. PROBLEM AS YET NOT RESOLVED. SEEMS FORD IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY WHICH BEARINGS ARE BAD WITHOUT INSTALLING THEM. I AM CONCERNED WITH POTENTIAL WHEEL LOCK UP AT SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY A FRONT WHEEL. *TR
