“I was driving on a highway when I heard a loud crash sound and some rattling coming from the sunrood . It was raining but not bad. I didn't see anything that may have flew up and hit the sunroof. I had not gone under an overpass and there was not many cars on the road. I pulled in to a parking lot and did not find anything that would have hit and broke the glass but the sunroof was broken. T”
NHTSA complaint #11320875, filed 2020-04, 15,000 miles“When placed into reverse the backup camera automatically turns on at maximum brightness and cannot be dimmed or over ridden. This causes blinding and inability to see out of the vehicle at night. The brightness is such that you cannot see out of any windows from inside the vehicle. To see outside you must roll down the windows but this eliminates the ability to see what is behind you.”
