2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/26/2020

My sunroof randomly cracked while I was going down the highway. Nothing hit it so I was curious if this was a common problem. . I looked around online and found that it is in fact a common issue with some people's sunroofs even exploding!!! I called Ford and was told the exact same thing that I found everyone else saying online. . That Ford won't do anything to fix the problem and that some people have had this issue happen more than once. . . I am now terrified to drive my new (to me) vehicle that I just bought 2 months ago. . My glass insurance is giving me issues covering this because it's not a windshield and I don't have $2200 laying around to fix it at the moment. . How long until it starts leaking and causing other issues. . ???.

3 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2020

Noticed crack in panoramic sunroof when parked in home garage; no point of impact detected.

4 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/27/2019

The rear glass panel in the panoramic sunroof has spider cracks throughout. The car is normally parked in a covered area. I had the sunroof open two weeks ago and there were no cracks at that time. The cracks happened within the last two weeks. The car was stationary when the problem was identified. This was not caused by any impact. I believe it is an inherent manufacturer defect. I contacted the dealer who said the repair will cause at least $1300 and that it is not covered under warranty. The car is a 2017 Ford Edge with 40k miles and has a 100k mile Ford premium care warranty.

5 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2019

Glass panoramic moon roof has spider cracks throughout. This was not caused by any impact. This is an inherent manufacturer defect.

6 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 09/07/2019

Cracked sun roof. Vehicle was stationary.

7 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 03/04/2019

Today, I noticed wavy cracks throughout my rear sunroof (as I walked out to my stationary parked car). They are all over the place. I have never had any trauma to the roof. I googled these cracks and there are many complaints from Ford owners about the same issues. Some owners have replaced their sunroofs 3 and 4 times over. It is obvious the glass is defective. There are multiple mentions of a class action lawsuit. The cracks are a safety concern considering they may crack further and fall into the back seat on passengers. I am taking it in to the Ford dealership where I purchased it tomorrow.

8 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2018

10/13/2018 - at 28,500 miles. Noticed just yesterday when opening panoramic sunroof curtain in driveway, what looked like a large puddle of water on sunroof while parked. Was not there the day before. Checked it and sure enough, it is a large crack across the sunroof. Extremely disappointed to find. Will be contacting local autonation dealership to discuss repair. It had better be under warranty. I've only owned the vehicle for six months. This is unacceptable.

9 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2018

Sunroof has cracked for no apparent reason. Nothing has come in contact nor has anything hit it directly. Not sure of when the cracks occured.

10 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2017

Purchased this 2017 Ford Edge titanium awd as a demo from town and country Ford in louisville kentucky. Vehicle had 5800 miles. The vehicle stays garaged at my home address. I was pulling the vehicle out of the garage into the driveway and there was nothing at all near the vehicle. I looked into the rear view mirror and noticed what looked like a puddle of water on the rear part of the sunroof. I got out of the Edge to find that there was a large crack through the rear stationary part of the sunroof.
