2020 FORD EXPEDITION — Complaint #1962714

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY filed January 29, 2024

NHTSA complaint #1962714 (ODI reference 11568666) concerns a 2020 FORD EXPEDITION and was filed on January 29, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 27, 2024. The report was geocoded to Colorado based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:sun/moon roof assembly, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD EXPEDITION cohort independently describe similar visibility:sun/moon roof assembly failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2020 FORD EXPEDITION shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

Panoramic moonroof suddenly exploded in a car wash during the high pressure air drying. Thankfully the sunshade was closed and my 3 children sitting in the middle row were not sprayed or hit with the shattered glass, water or air from the car wash and were not seriously injured. Ford clearly knows there is a problem, and I’ve watched numerous news stories about exploding moonroofs and I want to know if NHTSA will re- investigate this known problem and huge safety risk.
