Sunroof rails broke for the second time, and the sunroof will not close on the drivers side. This problem is putting extra pressure on the glass since it isn’t seated properly. Water also leaks in during rain storms and has caused electrical issues. I can now only drive this $95,000 vehicle in good weather.

Sunroof shattered by model year
What owners say
The frame holding the panaramic moonroof in place has failed and cracked in two places leaving the panaramic moonroof loose and must be repaired immediately. The moonroof is apt to fly out or drop inside while driving on the interstate highway causing injury or death to the driver, passenger or others on the road. There have been reports noted online of the moonroof exploding while driving at high speeds due to the rattling because the moonroof is not secured properly due to the frame being cracked. This is a safety issue and must be recalled by Ford Motor Corporation immediately to make this repair for the consumers.
My 2016 F150 moon roof track broke with 61k miles on it… it left my moon roof jammed open for rain and snow to enter my vehicle. After further research it appears that this is a common problem for this design. A ford dealer quoted me 4k to fix….If this does not qualify for a recall i have no idea what will. Please help all of us and make this a recall.
The sun/moon roof had been rattling since early 2020 - maybe since we bought it in march 2019. Taken to the local ford dealership 3 times in 2020 for this rattle. Just picked it up (3/20/2021) and both sunroof guides/ramps cracked and all of it had to be replaced. This is a safety concern - what if the entire sun/moon roof assembly would have shattered? Thankfully, we spent the $3000 on an extended warranty, but still had to pay $148 to get it all fixed.
The first time I went to use my sunroof the track broke now my window is stuck up and sunroof does not work.
While entering freeway, I attempted to open sunroof (panoramic dual panel) and hear a loud bang followed by terrible grinding and cracking noises. As the glass panel retracted, a piece of plastic from the tracks shot out and struck me in the head while driving. After exiting the freeway I tried to close the sunroof. It would close about 80%, stop, then fully retract. Due to rain, I immediately went to dealer to get the roof looked at. Ford dealer was able to get the sunroof to the vent position and diagnosed broken tracks.
Purchased from mullinax ford palm beach on 4/13/2018. The vehicle is a 2016 ford f150. I have owned this vehicle slightly over a year and have experienced countless issues, mostly water leaks into the trucks cab that is wetting the carpeting causing humidity and mold issues, mullinax ford takes the vehicle in for repair, supposedly repairs the vehicle and returns it to me, the issues are still present after multiple visits to the dealers service dept. I reached out to ford motor co customer relations in regards to a buy back, ford denied the claim, the repairs have been sub par and per my own research from other service advisors at other dealers are not the correct fix. I reached out to the sales department for assistance, their assistance was minimal, offering below market value and no assistance in pricing for a replacement vehicle, the carpeting is wet causing moisture moldy smells, and mullinax has yet to contact me with an available appointment to fix these issues and ford customer relations has not returned my email but is supposedly supposed to contact me with on friday to touch base. I have records of all supposed repairs, as well as pictures and video documenting all these issues. Repairs: integrated wheel end repair attempts: 1 sunroof leak repair attempts: 3 (issue still present) broken sunroof guides (broken by tech) repair attempts: 1 high mount brake light leak: repair attempt: 1 carpet shielding rework repair attempt: 1 vapor management valve repair attempt: 1 intermitten hard shift into reverse repair attempt: 1 (issue still present) rear sliding window leak repair attempt: 0 (issue still present) metallic rattle / chirp noise in engine bay repair attempt: 1 (issue still present) door vapor shield leak repair attempts: 2 (issue still present)
Plastic tracks on panoramic sunroof broke. While stationary. I was unable to close sunroof.
