Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving straight at approximately 35 MPH on a 34 degree day on a clear road, we heard a loud noise from the roof. We pulled over and saw that the sun roof had spontaneously ruptured and exploded outward. Luckily the sliding door to the sun roof was closed. When examining the sun roof, there was no evidence of anything hitting the car. In fact the roof rack bar was right over the new hole in the glass sunroof and would have proteted the glass from a falling object. The sunroof was puckered out and glass was scattered on the exterior of the car not within the sunroof compartment. …”
