Example complaints

“I was driving straight at ~40mph on a paved road at about 830pm, no other cars in front of my, when I heard a noise like a cannon going off. I looked up, and my sun roof had completely shattered: there were large chunks of glass inside the car, and extensive scratch marks on the rear trunk cover. Upon pulling over and inspecting the damage, it appeared that the sun roof glass had exploded outwards (as shown in the provided pictures), with several parts of the remaining glass being distinctly angled upwards and very little actual shattered glass being inside the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10978832, filed 2017-04, 3,760 miles“My sunroof exploded while I was driving on the 405 S freeway. It can be inspected at any time as I haven’t had it repaired or inspected by anyone yet. It happened while I was driving at least 65 mph in the fast lane. It sounded like a gunshot and startled me greatly. Glass flew everywhere and I believe hit cars around me as I heard multiple vehicles honk. This was a very scary and dangerous experience. There were no warnings and I’ve never had any issues with my sunroof. Nothing fell on my vehicle or impacted the glass. Thankfully no one was hurt but this is extremely concerning.”
