“My 2014 Lincoln MKT panoramic roof exploded with no warning while driving. Ford is claiming this is a repair for which I need to pay. I believe this is a dangerous defect that needs to be recalled. There are several documented instances of this happening with the 2014 lincon MKT. I was driving 20mph and turning when the roof exploded”

Safety issue and has happened to hundreds of people and Lincoln/ford will not stand behind lack of workmanship or design flaw. They want $1800 to repair.”

“The glass sunroof exploded while me and my kids where in the car. It was scary and crazy all at the same time. Gary yeoman Lincoln states its not under warranty, and that his was hit buy a something causing it to break. After reading all the complainta and review. I think they should have done a recall a long time ago! I got out the car to go the dickerson center on orange avenue in daytona beach and everthing was fine and got back in and my son asked whats wrong with you sun roof!”

NHTSA complaint #11186374, filed 2019-03, 71,500 miles

“To start we have 5 other Lincoln mkts with the same concern in the last 18 months, 4 which were covered under base warranty. The glass roof during what seems to be temperature changes pops. This time Lincoln will not cover this even though it only has 25,000 miles on it. I went through regular ford channels and they refused full coverage. After some research I found they have had problems with other vehicles as well . The conditions at the time the roof popped . Car was parked during day and through the night in a secured lit camera monitored parking lot. The next morning roof was shattered.”
