Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was in atlanta, ga driving down union city road when I heard a loud explosion. I heard glass break and looked to see if my back windshield was broken. I pulled over onto a side street and got out of the car and realized that my sunroof exploded. There was not another car nor truck near me before the explosion so it was not a rock. The cloth divider between the inside of the car and the glass was not damaged nor was a rock or bullet found. I called my sister and she told me there was a dealer up the street and to go there. …”
