Example complaints

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

“While driving on a paved road, a loud explosion consumed the car. The closed sunroof/closed shade exploded sending shattered glass airborne and on top of the closed shade. This caused a horrible noise as the glass bounced on the shade as I slowly made my way back home and to the dealership! During the return route, you could hear the glass cracking as it broke free and flew off while driving at a slow speed.”

“While driving about 65 miles an hour down the highway I heard a loud bang overhead. When I could get to an area to investigate what happened, it was the sun roof glass that had shattered for no reason. It was a big hole dead center of the forward glass. The glass broke into a million pieces with portions of it still able to fly away.”

“I brought the car in for routine oil change and it took over 3 hours to complete. I was told that there was a recall that needed to be done but they would not tell me more except that it had to do with the air bags and the computer. I have not been able to get more information from the dealer after several attempts via phone and letter. I am concerned that it is safety related and that they are hiding something dangerous.”

“I was driving 55 MPH on highway, sun was in my eyes so I lowered the drivers side sun visor. It immediately became floppy and I couldn't get it to raise back up. I had to hold the visor up with other hand while slowing and navigating safely to pull off of highway. With focused concentration, I can get the visor to go back up into place and stay but cannot safely use. It appears to be the pin ? That attaches up inside the visor attachment to the car roof. ?”

NHTSA complaint #10785297, filed 2015-10, 39,300 miles

“Sunroof exploded while slowly driving on city streets. No bumps in the road or other vehicles close around. Traffic was low. Speed approximately 25 MPH. This incident happened at approximately 4:00 p.m. Temperature was about 50 degrees fahrenheit. Glass looked bubbled out. We had to cover the broken sunroof before we could drive home 40 miles out of town. There were no injuries because the sunroof cover was closed. Exploding glass sounding like a gunfire. Photos can be sent when uncovered before sunroof is replaced by a technician.”
