“We believe the moonroof shattered while sitting in our garage. I left with the vehicle and had not noticed anything until my daughter asked where the cold air hitting her face was coming from as we started down the road. I pushed the button for the interior panel to open, and as it began opening we saw shattered glass everywhere. Nothing fell on this at all. The glass appears to have buckled and shattered. This is a manufacturer defect that Lincoln needs to address.”
NHTSA complaint #11302398, filed 2020-01, 91,000 miles“Vehicle was on I-78 on a clear day with a temperatue of 75 degrees at a speed of less than 70 MPH, no bridges, no rough pavement. All of a sudden the fixed panoramic roof (forward panel) shattered caused a loud bang. Sounded like a tire blew out! No evidence of a rock or other material striking the panel, no body damage, just the roof panel. Luckily we had the sun shade panel closed so we didn't experience any glass shards falling on us.”
