Rear window shattered without any warning or contact. Car was not running at the time.

The contact also stated that the vehicle vibrated, and the sunroof detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired.

When I got into my vehicle one morning after it had been parked outside overnight the panoramic sun/moonroof glass looked like it had big cracks throughout, but initially thought it was just puddled water outlines since we'd had a good rain event overnight. After vehicle dried later that day I still saw the lines and when I investigated I could feel the cracks/crevices in the outer glass but it had not cracked on the inner layer of glass. I am not certain if that cracking happened overnight in the rain and/or night cold temp fluctuations in WI, or whether it had started smaller earlier in the week and hadn't immediately noticed it. I am not aware of any stones or hail hitting it that could have pinpointed the cause & and the repair technicians did not find any indication of an impact point which could have been the starting point. I have been limiting my driving until I get it fixed to ensure it doesn't either crack all the way thru and let moisture inside and cause interier damage or completely break apart and fly off into roadway while I'm driving

DURING ANY HEAVY RAIN WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON FULL, THERE'RE NOT FAST ENOUGH TO GIVE YOUR CLEAR VISIBILITY, MAKING DRIVING IN THE RAIN VERY DANGEROUS. MY OTHERS FORD CARS DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE WIPERS ARE SET TO FULL SETTING THEY ARE MUCH FASTER THAN ON THE FORD EDGE. I SEE THIS AS AN SERIOUS. DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
