“I was driving about 50 MPH and I heard a very loud popping sound like a gunshot. I pulled over and saw that my sunroof glass had shattered (spontaneously).”
NHTSA complaint #10679220, filed 2015-01, 64,482 miles“Every now and then I hear this rattling loud noise on my sunroof at slow speed. I noticed that it has something to do with the weather when it's hot above 80 degrees fahrenheit. I live in florida and it is hot and humid here. The rattling noise disappears after a minute. It's very strange. After reading all the complaints about sunroof shattered,exploded from other owners, I would like to have this particular model recall before anybody will have a serious injury.”
