| Description of the problem | The panoramic roofs on the lincoln mkt blow out for no reason. We have 14 of these mkt's in our fleet we have had close to 10 of the glass roofs shatter. We are very concerned that glass could fall into a drivers eyes as well as our passengers. Also when they do blow out a good size chunk of the roof blows out and anyone behind us could be in grave danger especially someone on a motorcycle. The design of these roofs is flawed and either these roofs should not be allowed or they should be design with a type of glass or plastic product that wont shatter. Lincoln has helped in some of the incidences with the cost but are now telling us a definitive no! Cost to replace a glass roof runs about $1500 |
