| Description of the problem | Moon roof: opened once when purchased. Accidently opened instead of dome light. Off the grid, would only close half way. 40 mph. Winds, heavy rain, got soaked. Very dangerous driving giving i was exposed to the outdoor elements as described. Dark wind and rain in my face for half hour. Wiping h2o from face and inside wind shield, steering and dash. Had mechanic at a garage closed it. Found two small pieces of plastic broken off track. Dealer first quote $1,100. 00. Second quote was $2,200. 00. Blog on web and u tube repair sites many examples of moon roof failures from track failure to moon roof exploding on ford vehicles. Why does this not constitute a recall. Ford dealerships are asking the consumer to pay outrageous prices to have their engineering failures fixed. A rip off to the consumer. I paid about $43,000 for this vehicle. The cost to fix the moon roof is over 5% of the cost of my truck. |
