The frame holding the panaramic moonroof in place has failed and cracked in two places leaving the panaramic moonroof loose and must be repaired immediately. The moonroof is apt to fly out or drop inside while driving on the interstate highway causing injury or death to the driver, passenger or others on the road. There have been reports noted online of the moonroof exploding while driving at high speeds due to the rattling because the moonroof is not secured properly due to the frame being cracked. This is a safety issue and must be recalled by Ford Motor Corporation immediately to make this repair for the consumers.

It-??s a known problem that the sunroof will stop working. It-??s happened to me once when the truck was under warranty and it just happened again. My sunroof will not close all the way. This could be a safety issue especially here in Florida when it rains just about everyday. Again, it-??s a known problem and constantly discussed on message boards.
