Need to recall the gasket heads. There are hundreds of complaints of the same issue. Little holes melted on the head. Overheating vehicle and smoking out antifreeze while driving. Why it's this material plastic?

Driving on the interstate at about 70 mph, sunroof was tilted in vent position when my sunroof exploded. Glass reigned down on me. I thought something had smashed through, but i could not find anything. Looks like it actually blew outward in the center. It's possible something hit it, but i did not see anything. It just was a loud "explosion" and that was it.

We were leaving our son's game and we opened the liftgate to put things away and when we shut it the window exploded. Glass went everywhere including on the third row where my daughters are getting into their seats.

While parked in the driveway, we found that the back window of the hatch was completely broken and the body in the back was lifted off the car. It looks as if the hydraulic arm malfunctioned overnight.

I parked in my driveway, returning from the supermarket in the 2005 explorer in a 90 degree day. I opened the top of my lift gate and stuck my head in to grab my bags when the right hinge attached to the rear window dehisced and the lift gate came down on the back of my head. The torque was too much for the left hinge and it bent , shattering the glass of the rear window all over and breaking the bottom door frame…

The car stalls while driving at various speeds from 25 mph to 55 mph without warning. The loss of power brakes and steering at these higher speeds is extremely dangerous especially in close traffic. After coasting to a stop the car restarts easily. This stalling occurs with the cruise control on and off and does not appear to be a factor. Weather in all cases was dry and warm. The stalling has occurred several times…
