My Ford Edge Sun Roof Glass Cracked

No exterior chips or damage.

My ford edge sun roof glass cracked.

Ford has denied claim. Unlike several manufacturers that have issued safety recalls ford has not recalled its defective panoramic sunroofs a portion of the complaint reads. Ford has failed to meet these engineering challenges as is evidenced by its own panoramic sunroofs propensity to spontaneously shatter referred to herein as the defect. Corsi says one way to prevent exploding sunroofs might be to use a hybrid glass that.

In recent years in the edge model alone the ford motor company has independently reported at least 88 instances of sunroof explosions. Sunroof cracked while driving on the highway in more than one place. I disagreed because there are cracks throughout the entire glass and they do not intersect with the alleged point of impact. Average repair cost is 1 340 at 30 600 miles.

Cowles ford informed us that ford corporate told them telephonically how to test for an impact area and based on their newly learned test they determined it was a rock and an insurance claim instead. Additionally these sunroofs contain ceramic paint from the tempered glass which has enamels that appear to weaken the sunroof glazing. The ford models with the highest number of reports and vulnerability to broken or exploding sunroofs are the ford focus fusion explorer flex f 150 mustang c max and most prominently the ford edge. A chip at that edge can make the glass vulnerable to failure which with tempered glass means an explosion.

My 2017 ford edge sport s vista roof front glass has been replaced 2 times in the first 6 months of ownership due to cracking. The 2015 ford edge has 14 problems reported for vista roof glass cracked. Insurance has had to replace twice.
