2015 Lincoln MKT: sunroof shattered

Filed Jul 23, 2026 · GA

Panoramic Ceiling exploded while driving. No one was around me nor was it in bad weather. My entire drive home the glass was falling into the liner and down the side of the car. The glass was dropping down on the liner and could have shattered all over the interior and the passengers had the liner not been closed. It could have also caused you to crash as it sounds like someone shot out a window when it happens. I was able to pull over alongside the road and check out the damages.

Front Sunroof Exploded while driving. No one was around me nor was it bad weather. I had glass flying everywhere off the car and down the side which could have caused the paint to be scratched and or if someone would have been around me, they would have been hit with flying glass. My entire drive home the glass was falling into the liner and down the side of the car. The car has been sitting at the dealership undriveable. You could hear it crackling even after sitting in the garage for a period of time. The glass was dropping down on the liner and could have shattered all over the interior and the passengers had the liner not been closed. It could have also caused you to crash as it sounds like someone shot out a window when it happens. I was able to pull over alongside the road and asses the damages after calming down a bit. The same day I took my car down there someone else in a ford edge had a cracked sunroof There were no prior warnings on the car to let me know of a problem and there was nothing around me at the time it exploded. the car is in perfect condition and taken care of very well. It only has 33,000 miles on it and is always garaged. I have read many articles with those experiencing the same thing with the same car and same window. I also found several posts of suits filed against Ford / Lincoln for this very same issue. The dealership did research it and agreed it is a known problem, but a recall never issued. They did contact Lincoln on my behalf, and they have denied the claim. I have seen many articles where this has happened within the first couple months to a couple years out, but it is always the front sunroof. there is clearly a design problem with the car, and it needs to be addressed. This is a situation where a crash could have been caused, or someone seriously injured inside the car because of a defective design in the sunroof of Lincoln's MKT

We believe the moonroof shattered while sitting in our garage. I left with the vehicle and had not noticed anything until my daughter asked where the cold air hitting her face was coming from as we started down the road. I pushed the button for the interior panel to open, and as it began opening we saw shattered glass everywhere. Nothing fell on this at all. The glass appears to have buckled and shattered. This is a manufacturer defect that lincoln needs to address.

While driving home on a street my sunroof exploded. Sounded like a bomb. We immediately pulled over and checked. No impact seen. A few days later took to our local lincoln dealership. They claimed maybe a possible impact seen and car no longer under warranty for glass. Had to pay my $500 deductible and have it fixed. There was no impact. No one around us. Went under no bridges. Lincoln needs to step up and figure out what is going on.

Vehicle was on I-78 on a clear day with a temperatue of 75 degrees at a speed of less than 70 MPH, no bridges, no rough pavement. All of a sudden the fixed panoramic roof (forward panel) shattered caused a loud bang. Sounded like a tire blew out! No evidence of a rock or other material striking the panel, no body damage, just the roof panel. Luckily we had the sun shade panel closed so we didn't experience any glass shards falling on us.

While driving on city street, the front section of the moon roof exploded with a loud bang and created a crack in the glass from side to side. On the drive home other cracks developed along the driver side edge. Took it to a dealer the following day and was told to "call your insurance company!". On the way home from the dealer the roof shattered. Called ford and was told that they would not cover glass.
