About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was traveling on the hwy at 70mph and heard what sounded like a shotgun blast. I looked around and heard what ended up being glass falling into my rear seat. My rear panoramic glass had shattered and blown upward in a way I've never seen before and I had no idea what caused it, as there were only clothes and a box in the rear seat. I took it to Ford and made a claim which was denied. I am confident this problem is a manufacturing defect, but Ford says this breakage would only happen upon installation due to using tempered glass. I don't believe that because nothing hit mine and still, it shattered. I also have a leaking roof, which may be related to this problem.
