What owners wrote
Just leased this 2016 ford explorer. It has 700 miles on it. We have not made a payment. I was driving down the road at about 30 miles per hour. Nobody was within a mile of me. I was alone in the car. The rear window exploded. I got out and checked the window. It clearly had exploded outward. There was no external source to cause the window to explode. I am a police officer, and have seen where windows explode or are smashed. The window will take a slight indent or poof outward from the force.
