“On wed oct 23 I was driving on the freeway in the middle lane. The weather was perfect, no rain, clear blue skies and about 70 degrees. It was apprx 12:00 pm (mid-day). Out of nowhere I heard a loud band on top of my roof and glass started flying off the back of my car. I pulled over to see what happened and there was a huge hole in the middle of my sunroof and the rest of the glass around it is shattered.

NHTSA complaint #10204519, filed 2007-10, 45 miles“Shortly after purchasing my 2007 vehicle in 2008 I discovered a problem with the driver's sun visor hitting the rear view mirror when attempting to put it all the way down. I was driving and attempted to pull down the sun visor and then when I looked at the rear view mirror it had moved and become mis-aligned due to the visor hitting the rear-view mirror. This resulted in having to re-adjust the rear-view mirror unexpectedly while driving. This is a manufacturer's because everything is oem. You cannot fully deploy the sun visor in a perpendicular position without hitting the rear-view mirror. …”
