The weather was sunny, temp 88 degrees.  As I was driving between 60 and 65 MPH with cars in front as well as behind me I heard a very loud \u201cexplosion\u201d type noise. It was loud and quite scary and unexpected. The car then became very loud and windy. I was able to keep the car on the road, when I looked up I realized the panoramic window on the roof was mostly gone and damaged as well as the shade that covers the window. Looking in the rear view mirror I didn't see any other cars stopping or slowing and it appeared as if I was the only one affected.  Backtracking to before my trip, I took my vehicle to Ford in [XXX] on XXX for three recall issues. Door latches, backup camera and panorama window issues.  Later that day they called me to pick it up and said they had ordered parts for the recall items and would contact me when the parts were in. I advised the service tech I was going on a trip with the vehicle on XXX and needed to get things done before that time. He said the roof would need to be fixed by a glass company and they would coordinate when the other parts were installed.  The vehicle went back to Sill- Terhar Ford on XXX and was returned on XXX. I asked about the window repair and was then told I would have to contact the body shop to get that work done. This work could not be done before my trip. I feel this recall is NOT been taken seriously by Ford or the dealerships and this could have killed someone behind me or I could have lost control of the vehicle    INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"TRANSIT CONNECT","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11744832,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/10/2024","dateComplaintFiled":"06/17/2026","vin":"NM0LE7E73G1","components":"VISIBILITY/WIPER","summary":"2 years ago (approx.) I brought my van to Sound Ford in Renton, WA. for the windshield recall. Two employees inspected my windshield and said they could not do the recall because they found a micro-pit in the glass. They told me to get my insurance to replace the windshield. I called my insurance but they said they won't replace the windshield unless it is cracked and I would have to pay a $100 deductible and Sound Ford is off the hook to do the recall.  Since then I have been waiting for a crack to form but the windshield started to leak and on gravel and dirt roads the windshield started to vibrate. The vibration got so bad I had to duct tape the windshield on and tried to stop the leak with plumbers putty.

This issue directly aligns with the advanced recall notice identified as NHTSA Recall Number21V376 and Manufacturer Recall Number 21S24.

Fortunately, Future Ford of Roseville accepted to inspect my vehicle and I delivered it to their facility on August 23rd, 2023.

I provided a physical copy at the same time I picked it up and as of this moment the recall still has not been cleared.  This is a fleet vehicle, so I am notified regularly that I still have not had this taken care of.  I called Joe Cooper back on two occasions to check up on the status, with the last time being July 3rd, 2023 in which they requested I email copies of the Safelite Invoice again.  Attached is the Invoice from Joe Cooper as well as the invoice from Safelite confirming full windshield replacement using an aftermarket Fuyao windshield.  I cannot get an answer as to why there is a hold up so I cannot tell if this is an issue on Ford's part or the dealership.  I am, however, looking to resolve this issue.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"TRANSIT CONNECT","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11533696,"manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/01/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"07/21/2023","vin":"NM0LE6E79G1","components":"SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"The contact owns a 2016 Ford Transit Connect.
