“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.”

“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”

NHTSA complaint #11482046, filed 2022-08

“The contact owns 2010 Lincoln MKT. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the contact noticed that when he rolls his rear passenger window down it made a loud bumping noise. The faster the vehicle is in motion, then the louder the noise became. The dealer was contacted but offered no assistance. The manufacturer was informed who was aware of the problem, but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The current mileage was approximately 10,000. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.”
