“Driving on a clear day (50degrees) on saturday april 25th, my 2012 Nissan Murano's sunroof exploded. The glass was protruding outward, as if it exploded from the inside out. There was shards of glass everywhere and luckily there were no oncoming cars because the sound it made inside the car when it happened caused me to swerve a little.”
