Follow up... Panoramic sunroof exploded on 7-17-20. Verified by insurance appraiser on 7-20-20.

Driving to work. Heard an explosion, glass shattered... Panoramic sunroof exploded!

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford escape. While driving approximately 55 MPH with the shade of the sun roof retracted, the glass exploded upward. There were no injuries.

While driving down the highway at approximately 60 MPH I heard a noise that sounded like the tracks flew off the roof of my car. Water began leaking in through the roof, so I thought the sunroof may not be closed all the way. I opened the fabric cover underneath the sunroof to see where and if it was leaking and when I did shattered glass began falling in on me.

The contact's mother owns a 2015 Ford Escape. The contact stated that while approaching the vehicle, he observed what appeared to be thousands of bubbles forming on the front windshield. The contact stated that the windshield was delaminating. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 72,000.

2023 my back up camera was only working 75% of the time. I took the car into the Ford dealer and they said it is a known problem and the waiting period for the replacement takes up to a year. They recommended I keep checking back to see if it's in stock.

Profusely leaking water into cabin soaking rear headliner above rear driver and passenger windows. Coming from roof racks or sunroof, no damage to vehicle. Concerned leaking water will cause electrical problems to vehicle.

The drivers side windshield wiper motor has been replaced 4 times due to erratic movement of the wiper blade when driving in the rain. Ford motor corp knows of the problem but has not been able to fix it. As is the vehicle will not pass state inspection and it is a safety hazard on the highway and/or city or state highways when it rains.

Wipers came in suddenly without being turned on while I was driving in motion. This has occurred 4 times in the last 3 days. Had to turn off engine to get them to stop.

Right door review mirror glass suddenly shattered while driving straight on a city street. Did not previously hit or otherwise damage unit. Looked this up on internet and learned this problem has occurred with others driving their ford escape.

Wipers are not normal - they are a distraction and could possibly be a road hazard - has been like this since we purchased - needs a recall

Vehicle exhibits extreme glare on front windshield-- this can occur day or night. Day glare can be so bad as to make vehicle totally unsafe to drive-- not referring to going into a setting or rising sun-- this is normal daylight between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm. Metal dash pieces reflect in side mirrors and make it difficult to see approaching cars
