“The large tempered glass roof panel of the panoramic vista roof on my 2010 Lincoln MKT shattered without warning with a loud, frightening explosion while driving 65 MPH on the ny thruway on november 30, 2014. The panel was not displaced, although small pieces of glass fell onto the head liner. Luckily, the sun shade was closed at the time. It was a miracle there was not a serious accident, given the volume of traffic at the time. Research discloses that similar events have happened numerous times with other Lincoln automobiles.”
NHTSA complaint #10662932, filed 2014-12, 70,000 miles“4th time in 12 years that the moonroof has broken and the side shields that hold each side in place need to be replaced. This is a recurrent issue at least with me on this vehicle causing my roof to stay open until fixed. Not sure if tis because the roof is so big or if its just faulty equipment/engineering. But I think every three years is a bit much”
