| Description of the problem | the large tempered glass roof panel of the panoramic "vista roof" on my 2010 lincoln mkt shattered without warning with a loud, frightening explosion while driving 65 mph on the ny thruway on november 30, 2014. The panel was not displaced, although small pieces of glass fell onto the head liner. Luckily, the sun shade was closed at the time. It was a miracle there was not a serious accident, given the volume of traffic at the time. Research discloses that similar events have happened numerous times with other lincoln automobiles. |
