I was driving down road about to get on [xxx] in Tucson,Az when we heard a loud boom inside my car. We pulled over to see what happen. My moon room had exploded for no reason and nothing hitting it. You could clearly see the force came from inside vs outside due to an object. As we drove down the road to take it to ford glass proceeded to fall down. We are very lucky in the only one that got a piece of glasses in my hand and not on my infant. My sunroof component has had 2 issues prior to this and I feel the glass was faulty and my car has a mal-alignment. Ford is denying any responsibility.

Just bought this 2023 Ford Expedition it was used, within 1 hour of owning it, the Sunroof just shattered and pieces of glass came falling down in-between my kids. Didn't seem like anything hit the sunroof, it just shattered on it's own! took back to dealership, they don't want to take blame and told us it has to go thru our insurance! they would cover the deductible. After looking into other stories, seems like ford has fault glass installed, i read other saying the same, that their windows have just exploded and the glass just shattering without anything hitting them! Feel like this is a safety concern and ford isn't helping with! think the glass hit daughter in face giving little scratch, nothing to major luckly!

Extremely loud/deafening loud pop and static noise coming from the speakers. Scared me so bad while I was driving had to throw the hazard on and stop the vehicle in road. The volume would not adjust and radio would not turn off. Had to turn off the vehicle and open the door for the loud static turn off. At restart deafening static immediately came back. Ears were ringing and felt numb in the inside. No recalls found for this and feel this is extremely dangerous while driving. Had vehicle serviced at dealer and no mention it offer to update the known issue

Oct 23, 2024 Fire

Hurricane Helene inundated our parking lot on September 27 with approximately 3-4 feet of storm surge. Many vehicles (20-25) were trapped and flooded. This vehicle caught fire and was totally consumed over the course of a 5-6 hour burn. Although all vehicles in our lot were flooded, this was the only vehicle to catch fire. By reports of eyewitnesses, the fire started underwater at the front of the vehicle and proceeded to consume it entirely. It did not blow up. Also reported is that the flashers and alarm/horn were active when the fire started (same was true for most other vehicles in the lot that did not burn). This vehicle is not a Hybrid or EV, it is a stock gasoline vehicle with no modifications. The vehicle was towed away by Auto-Owners Insurance company. It is unknown if they have done any form of inspection or investigation. This was not reported to the police but the fire department made a call to extinguish the flames at 4:55 am when the water receded enough for them to access the parking lot.

I was driving down the road. There were no other vehicles around me. I then heard, what sounded like someone shooting a gun from the middle row up through the sunroof. It was the most insanely loud noise, i had ever heard coming from a vehicle. I pulled over and realized that the sunroof had exploded. The glass was shattered and was protruding up. The glass then shattered, sending shards of glass to the interior of the vehicle over my son, elderly mother and myself. We were all so frightened.

On warm days, while running the AC, the entire HVAC system shuts down and stops blowing air out of any vents at all. This occurs weather the vehicle is driving or stationary. Making it especially dangerous when the windshield begins fogging up during rainy or humid weather and unable to defog it. Similar reports online suggest the evaporator is freezing up completely and blocking all airflow

I have taken the Expedition to the dealer for 2 issues: 1) the truck release didn't work correctly when you unlatch. However, Finally there was an update a year later to fix it.2) The infotainment 15 inch touchscreen is not dependable 3 out of 7 days, roughly. When turning it on, it doesn't go on and you have to try to back up this monster without a camera. I nearly killed a small child walking in front of the mother as he wasn't tall enough to be seen on the side mirrors or rear view. She hit the truck for me to slam on breaks. When driving on highway, it suddenly blacked out and rebooted. It will always eventually reboot, if dark, upon starting truck. When I brought it in for service mentioned above, the gentleman said "we couldn't make the trunk replicate what you were talking about and didn't want to wear down the battery. As for the touchscreen, it needed an update." Funny. no updates mentioned on Ford's site. I live in Scottsdale , AZ where our temps can get as high as 120 degrees. Everyone will tell you to not leave your phone or iPad in a hot car in our summer as the battery life will be shortened, display dims or goes black, cameras can be disabled and with some apps or features, performance is reduced with lower frame rates or increased processing times. SO.....couldn't this conceivably happen with the touchscreen on the Expedition? Also, the sign on the dash stated the other day, "no key recognized." The key was in my purse and then in my hand and I still could't start the car. I had to open the driver door and close to "reboot" and then it worked! Please help. I have read on different sites that this is common with other owners who live in hot climate. Thanks.
