“Moon roof exploded/shattered while driving on highway. We drove it immediately to the dealership we purchased it from 12 days earlier. Sounded like a gun going off in my ear. Very dangerous event to take place while driving. The moon roof then started falling into the vehicle immediately.”
NHTSA complaint #10924150, filed 2016-11, 600 miles“Sunroof exploded while driving. No objects fell onto the car. We had no idea what the loud bang/exploding sound was until we were able to safely pull off the road and evaluate. The hole was not inward, like something fell into it, but the glass was pushed upwards. We were on a 4-lane straightaway going maybe 35 or 40 MPH and not under any bridges, trees, etc. No vehicles around us, etc. It was about 8:30pm in july in south carolina. The noise was very loud and very startling!”
NHTSA complaint #10893526, filed 2016-08, 1,200 miles“Murano was traveling approx 40 MPH down the road when the sunroof shattered. I have a dash cam video of the incident. You can see in the video there wasn't a car in front or to the side to claim a rock caused this. Dealership would not replace under warranty car is less than a year old when purchased.”

To best of our knowledge nothing hit the window, no car was on either side of us. Pieces of glass cut passenger, but luckily none got into eyes of passenger or driver.

Took vehicle to a dealer [ travelling , so not selling dealer]. …”
