A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
While driving on a highway the panoramic moonroof spontaneously exploded and shattered showering myself and my partner in glass injuring us both.
The main cabin heating system does not reach and maintain desired temperature settings whether in auto mode or in a manual selection. Heated steering wheel heats up momentarily and then cools down even though the button is still on. Dealer technicians were able to recreate the same on other corsairs on lot. My opinion thinks it lies in the computer module that controls these functions and may need to re=programmed. Have not tried the A/C mode as we are in late winter.
The transmission (possibly the start/stop) jerks and is intermittent. When coming out of the stop, the acceleration is sputtering. The dealer said the problem is known to Ford but there is not yet a fix. The vehicle has less than 10000 miles travelled.
