“The rear glass busted after being inside the carport. Shattered. You could hear the glass sizzling when I found it. I have images of this. My concern is what this would have happened had my kids been in the car and the vehicle in motion.”

NHTSA complaint #11526360, filed 2023-06

“I am reporting a potential safety defect involving the HVAC air vent assemblies in my 2022 Ford Expedition. I have now had TWO separate vent directional-control/deflector handles break during normal use. The plastic attachment points are extremely thin and fragile and appear inadequate for a component specifically designed to be routinely adjusted. This does not appear to be an isolated incident. Broken HVAC vent controls/deflectors have been reported MULTIPLE times by Ford owners across various online Ford forums and owner discussions. …”

“On 2/20/23 my spouse was driving northbound around 9:30 am. When she heard what she describes as a gun shot. She immediately called me and I told her to pull over to the closest and safest spot. She explained that it sounded like the glass sunroof exploded. She climbed up to find that was the case. There was a huge gaping hole right in the center of the sunroof. We immediately took the 2022 Expedition to a Ford dealership close by. The dealership stated that Ford has not issued a bulletin or recall and because of that could not cover the repair under warranty. …”

“I was driving in the express lane NB I-15 in Utah. I was at highway speeds with no one around me. I had the visor that closed on my sunroof when all of a sudden I hear a loud explosion, it scared me and I immediately slowed and pulled off the road. I first thought maybe it was a tire, I checked and all were intact, then I saw glass and looked up on my roof and noticed that the sunroof was completely blown out. I apparently lost my Panoramic portion of my sunroof, not the part that actually opens, the fixed portion. The glass is angled out like a slope up a mountain. …”

“The contact owns a 2022 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that while driving in the rain at 60 MPH with the windshield wipers at max speed, the driver’s side windshield wiper started hanging off the side of the windshield and failed to operate as needed. The contact pulled into the nearest gas station and attempted to move the wiper back to the original position; however, the driver’s side windshield wiper failed to move. Despite the failure, the contact continued to drive the vehicle. …”
