Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At approximately 6:45pm on Tuesday, December 27, I was driving in Nassau County, NY, when my sunroof exploded. The sound was terrifying and I was very concerned that I was shot at or hit by an unknown object. At first I thought the object hit my car or my back windshield. I looked and did not see any holes anywhere but I could hear air coming into my car. I moved my sunroof shield and saw a gaping hole and shattered glass.”
NHTSA complaint #11500870, filed 2023-01“The contact owns a 2017 Lexus RX350. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the sunroof was rattling. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer where after a test drive, the contact was informed that the failure was with the brakes, not the sunroof. Overtime, the failure worsened, and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the contact was provided an estimate for the replacement of the sunroof. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 35,461.”
