Was driving on a sunny day on the highway w/ an outside temperature of 53 degrees. Heard a very load noise and thought I may have blown a tire. Pulled over and checked the tires and noticed there was shattered glass all over the top of my car. Turns out that my panoramic sunroof literally exploded!! No trucks were in front of me nor any viaducts that I went under. $900.00 in damage!! Seen many forums with the same issue as well as consumer report complaints about this. Also a few class action suits. Not sure why this happened and who's responsible, but thank god that I had my retractable sun visor closed at the time otherwise I'm confident that all that glass would have hit me with serious injuries.the noise was deafening when it exploded. Wish someone would fess up to this defect before someone gets seriously injured!!

While driving on highway, panoramic glass roof exploded into pieces. Roof was not open or been used I. More than 2 years. Screen was luckily closed or I would have been covered in glass. Loud bang and rush of air causing me to jerk steering wheel and enter next lane of traffic

I was driving down I-25 with my spouse doing apprx. 75mph when my sunroof exploded. We are fortunate no one was injured. Glass did fall on my head as I was taking it to the dealership. Ford refuses to cover it under warranty even though the dealership states it exploded from the inside. Ford does not know what caused the problem but just states it is not covered under warranty. If the covering was opened someone would have been seriously injured. This is a huge safety concern and has happened to several vehicles but ford refuses to do a recall. It is going to take someone getting seriously injured before ford recognizes the problem as a manufacturer defect.
