“I was driving down the highway about 70 MPH approximately 4:45 am when I heard a loud explosion. My middle panel of my panoramic sunroof exploded causing a circular hole in the sunroof initially which eventually caused the entire middle panel to break a part. There were no motor vehicles around me at the time. I have attached the repairs for my automobile.”

“Panoramic sunroof suddenly exploded at 75 MPH on the interstate, no other vehicles around, no overpasses, no existing cracks. Sounded like a shotgun and startled me so early in the morning, and I almost ran off the road. Had there been vehicles or trucks in the other lane I would have swerved into them. Tempered glass and tiny shards of glass rained down on me and were covering the car, as well as my skin. …”

“I'm stopped at a street, waiting to turn on a main road. I just have a stop sign, but the cross traffic doesn't have to stop. I start to turn out when there's an opening, and my car stalls for a few seconds. Sometimes it's longer, sometimes it's shorter. This has happened multiple times. It my car doesn't go quick enough, I could get hit. I've noticed this is the worst when I have it in eco mode. This exact thing happens when I'm also trying to accelerate once I've merged onto a highway. …”

“1.) on april 20, 2018 stopped on a hill for a red light when the light turned green and I took my foot off the brake and put on the gas, the car went backwards. This happened on a busy city/hospital district and thankfully no one was behind us. 3.) it happened again on july 21, 2018 on a city street with no one behind us. Dealership said they couldn't recreate this. 2.) when someone puts a pillow under them on the passenger seat the air bag does not work. This happens if the car is stationary and in motion.”
