Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“We were traveling on the highway when we heard a pop then it sounded like a bag was stuck to the roof of our car and was flapping in the wind. We started to open the sunroof shade when we noticed the sunroof glass was broken. We were not hit by any road debris and after stopping to look over the damage we noticed the sunroof glass was blown out not in. The left over sunroof glass on the driver side corner was sticking up. We believe the sunroof glass exploded out.”

“As I was driving on I-35 north in iowa - rain was just starting - no other vehicles nearby, no birds, overpasses, etc - the sunroof exploded into a thousand tiny pieces. Luckily, the sunroof cover was closed as it kept all the glass from falling into the car. There appears to be no simple explanation why this happened. The service mechanic at a Dodge dealership said it appeared to be faulty glass although Dodge will not accept a claim under my warranty.”

“Walked out to my vehicle tuesday morning 11/25/14 and noticed a crack in the windshield. From the edge of the passenger side to 14 inches inward. There is no impact hit also no spidering out. Windshield has to be replaced with a out of pocket cost of $300.00. The vehicle was not damaged when parked in the driveway the day before.”
