November 21, 2021, while driving on the HWY at about 65 MPH, the forward panoramic moon roof exploded. Simply exploded. Not hit by anything - no cars or trucks in front of us. Thank goodness, we had the interior part closed, or it would have exploded all over us. This was a very loud explosion! Thank goodness I did not lose control of the car.

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

19 Jan 2021 - front moonroof glass exploded out at 69 miles per hour with no other vehicles around, no debris around, on I65 southbound at approximately 8:00pm and 61 degrees. After glass exploded outward, residual glass then fell on my head (bald), down my back and seat (crouch) area and barely being able to maintain the vehicle.

I was driving on the highway around 70mph when my sunroof exploded. There is a lot of people reporting the same issue, but unfortunately Ford/Lincoln doesn't take any responsibility and it's obvious that is a defect and really dangerous for people in the vehicle.

Panoramic sunroof exploded while riding down the highway. Without any warning we heard a loud explosion like a gun had been shot inside the car we immediately noticed the glass cracked in the moonroof and noticed little bits of glass all in the car and on the driver and passengers, I had my grandchildren with me and they were terrified. I was able to stop when I found a safe place and called my husband to come get us. I have been informed by the dealer and Lincoln I would need to file the claim on my auto insurance. After researching this online I have found numerous complaints on this issue and Lincoln has not issued a recall. This matter needs to be looked into asap before someone is seriously injured or killed.

Panoramic glass roof suddenly broke off when driving. No cars ahead of me, glass just exploded like my car was getting shot. A loud boomm, when stopped the car to look at it, the sides of front panoramic glass roof was broken on the both side and all cracked in between. Now, one day after, roof has a big whole in the middle. After a research online, there are many cases like mine that have happened on same kind car, so this seems a manufactory issue to me. And this is a safety issue, which someone could have gotten hurt inside. Thank god my inside cover was closed. Hope this issue can get resolved

Traveling down the road 4/16/17 on a clear 78 degree day and the front vista glass roof explodes into pieces. No other vehicles around and no explanation as to why the glass shattered. Shards of broken glass came into the passenger compartment onto the driver and almost caused an accident.

While parked in front of a hotel for about 10 minutes with the engine running and the windows up, the forward half of the glass roof exploded outward with a loud bang. Luckily, the sunshade was closed so no glass fell directly the passenger. There was no impact, no extreme temperature, absolutely nothing that would cause this to occur... date of occurrence: 3/31/2016 time of occurrence: 7:18am temperature at the time it happened: 50 degrees Fahrenheit physical location: Kent state university hotel, 215 S. depyster St, kent, oh after searching the internet, I found so many people that have experienced similar breakage... indicates that there has to be a defect in the design or possibly the tempering of the glass itself. While there was no danger in my situation, it is easy to see how this could cause an accident if it occurred under different circumstances. I feel this definitely needs to be addressed with the manufacturer.
