Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Wife was driving home in MKX, less than 1000' from home, and heard a loud pop that sounded like a gun shot. Didn't know what happened until she got home and we looked all around. Didn't see anything until we raised back hatch door and heard glass breaking and falling. Looked on top and noticed that the vista roof had exploded. She was going less than 30 MPH thankfully and sun roof was completely closed. Researched this online and found it to be a problem on a lot of cars, even found class action case but it was dismissed in 2016 for some reason. …”
