“On 09/23/2017 I was driving on the highway on a sunny day, around 80 degrees with my sunroof closed, and the sunroof cover open to allow the sunlight in. While driving on the highway about a mile from my exit, I heard a loud bang that startled me (sounded like gunshot), all of a sudden I felt stuff hitting my head, face, and shoulders. I look up and saw my sunroof exploded with shattered glass flying all over my car and realized glass is what was hitting me face and body. …”

“The AC/heater blower motor controller in this vehicle and every model that shares the same style knob has a serious defect. Along with the fire hazard this presents it also effects the use of defrost which can be a serious issue in some climates and the switch may fail completely rendering the defrost functionally unusable. Attached you will see images of the inside and outside of the switch in question as well as the connector for the switch which have suffered serious heat damage. This is a fire hazard. …”

“On March 8, 2023, I was waiting at a red light and since the weather was really nice, it was cloudy and not too cold I decided to open my sunroof and when all of the sudden I felt glass raining all over me, my sunroof exploded! I got little cuts over my face and arms because of the glass, and my back and arms felt itchy because of the tiny little pieces of glass. I was on my way to pick up the girls from daycare, I'm so grateful they were not with me at the incident moment and that the car was not on motion. Now, they are charging me over $1000 dlls on repairs. …”
