NHTSA Complaint #10863812 — 2012 FORD EDGE

2012 FORD EDGE LIMITED: DRIVING DOWN THE DIVIDED HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65 MPH, WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT/NEXT TO/ OR BEHIND ME, THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. THIS WAS NOT DUE TO ANY IMPACT OR COLLISION OF ANY TYPE, TO INCLUDE DEBRIS, FLYING PEBBLES, ETC. THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARDS, WITH THE GLASS PUSHED UPWARDS. ADDITIONALLY, THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED IN ALL FOUR CORNERS. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT, WITH DOCUMENTED RECALLS ACROSS MANY MAKES/MODELS. THIS EXACT SITUATION HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE/VEHICLES WHETHER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR PARKED. IN EVERY CASE, THE SCENARIO APPEARS TO BE THE SAME: THE TEMPERED GLASS EXPLODED DUE TO DESIGN FAILURES WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE UNDER NORMAL / ROUTINE CONDITIONS. RECALL REQUESTED.
