“Rear panoramic stationary glass (sunroof) shattered on its own, no impact from anything. Shattered in all 4 corners. Car was stationary in parking lot.”
NHTSA complaint #11414949, filed 2021-05, 170,000 miles“Lincoln MKX 2008 with an automatic open/close feature for the rear lift gate, the lift gate has periodically reopened shortly after closure when using the button in the rear to close it. It has reopened twice while the vehicle was moving. The most recent event occurred while backing out of the garage and LED to a smashed rear window and other damage to the rear of the vehicle leading to $2000 in repairs. The latch seems to be the problem. An earlier event occurred after a stop at a rest area. The lift gate opened as we were driving on the entrance ramp to the highway. …”
NHTSA complaint #10339138, filed 2010-06, 34,650 miles“My front sliding panaromic sunroof glass blew right off the vehicle while I was driving on the highway. Not to mention my sunroof was closed. I heard a gust off wind and then my sunshade started flobbing from the wind ans thats when I noticed something was wrong. I pulled over and the glass was completely gone off the car. It could have caused a major accident or even hit and killed someone. Definitely a manufacturing defect. No warning signs or problems with it beforehand as well.”
