Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We were driving down the freeway, traveling approximately 65 MPH in oakland, ca. The weather was clear - no rain and approximately 60 degrees. All of a sudden, there was a loud noise like a gunshot and our panaramic sunroof shattered. At the time, we had a cargo box on top of the car (on a frame that was not touching the sunroof) so it is unlikely any projectile could have hit the car. The cargo box was still affixed to the car and secure after the incident. It was not an extreme temperature, nor was there any extreme weather (rain, snow, hail) at the time. There were no underpasses nearby. …”
