“November 30, 2019, my husband and I were driving on the interstate, it was 34 degrees outside and we had the defrost and heat on low setting {1}. Then a sound like a gunshot, then cold air coming from the roof and could hear glass bouncing around. We pulled over. Saw what had happened and couldn't figure out how. No one was even around us when it happened so nothing hit it. Then looking closer, could see that the glass was raised a bit and the seals surrounding it were lifted in a few places. The sunroof exploded outward.”
NHTSA complaint #11288064, filed 2019-12, 15,687 miles“I bought a 2018 Durango from Dodge in april or may 2019 supposedly new . Its had 2995 miles on it from them joyriding in it through town. It has been in an accident and they didn't disclose it but charged me brand new price. 6 months after purchasing the windshield starts cracking on the side where it gets glued on to the vehicle due to weather change. Of course since the dealership changed hands magically there is nothing they will do and I contacted Dodge and they refuse to help me. This crack is not due from a rock or anything I did it showed up over night.”

NHTSA complaint #11398020, filed 2021-02, 42,000 miles“The contact owns a 2018 Dodge Durango. While driving in the rain, the sun roof and windshield leaked. The leaks caused the vehicle to shut off in the middle of a parking lot since the star connector was affected. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and repaired, but the parts that were replaced were unknown. The contact stated that the failure recurred and the vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic. Sealant was placed in the leak areas; however, after heavy rain, the vehicle shut off again due to water entering the vehicle. …”
