NHTSA Complaint #11633511 — 2014 LINCOLN MKT

Shortly after leaving my home, I pulled onto the local road that takes me to the freeway. At this time I had noticed a pattern on the front panel of my panoramic sunroof which I had initially believed to be ice, as that is not uncommon for the environment I am in. Momentarily after this, I had merged onto the freeway where a cracking sound became prevalent. It was then when I realized there was no ice on my sunroof, it was the glass beginning to shatter. I immediately pulled over, as safety became a very imminent concern. After analyzing the front panel of the panoramic sunroof, I had attempted to take the vehicle off the freeway for further action as there was no major pieces of glass missing at the moment. After pulling off, the glass had suddenly completely broken, causing a very loud sound and a rush of air. It is important to note that there was zero impact made to the glass previous to the incident. This is a known issue from the Ford/Lincoln manufacturer in regards to their panoramic sunroofs that I happened to become a victim of.
