| Description of the problem | Wife was driving to work on march 15, 2018, around 2 pm est, on a divided road around 35 mph. Clear sunny day with no traffic around her. She heard a very loud noise and pulled into the nearest parking lot to see what happened. She looked at the body of car and tires and did not see anything. She continued to work, around 3 miles, and looked again when she arrived. She then noticed the vista glass to the rear of the sunroof had imploded. From the inside it was all shattered but in tack. From the outside there were visible cracks. See inside and outside photo. When we called lincoln to see if there were any recalls or any known issues, they said no and to call insurance since glass is not covered. When we researched on the web, we saw a number of postings for similar implosions on lincoln models and ford edge. Postings said to file a complaint for a recall. |
