My ford edge sun roof glass cracked.

My 2017 ford edge sport s vista roof front glass has been replaced 2 times in the first 6 months of ownership due to cracking. No exterior chips or damage. A chip at that edge can make the glass vulnerable to failure which with tempered glass means an explosion. In recent years in the edge model alone the ford motor company has independently reported at least 88 instances of sunroof explosions.

Insurance has had to replace twice. I disagreed because there are cracks throughout the entire glass and they do not intersect with the alleged point of impact. Ford has failed to meet these engineering challenges as is evidenced by its own panoramic sunroofs propensity to spontaneously shatter referred to herein as the defect. Nothing hit it but dealer insists it was contacted by something that caused the crack.

Additionally these sunroofs contain ceramic paint from the tempered glass which has enamels that appear to weaken the sunroof glazing. The ford models with the highest number of reports and vulnerability to broken or exploding sunroofs are the ford focus fusion explorer flex f 150 mustang c max and most prominently the ford edge. Cowles ford informed us that ford corporate told them telephonically how to test for an impact area and based on their newly learned test they determined it was a rock and an insurance claim instead. Corsi says one way to prevent exploding sunroofs might be to use a hybrid glass that.

Ford claims the shattered sunroof is caused by outside objects hitting the glass but plaintiffs justify the ford exploding sunroof to compromising the compressed layer. Sunroof cracked while driving on the highway in more than one place. Unlike several manufacturers that have issued safety recalls ford has not recalled its defective panoramic sunroofs a portion of the complaint reads.
