| Description of the problem | On 2/19/21 i was driving my 2009 murano on a windy morning down i-90 (issaquah) on at around 65mph in the slow lane, and my closed sunroof glass disengaged and blew off the car, luckily no one was behind me at the time, else it could have been catastrophic. I think this should be cause for a recall, or at least replacement by nissan corp. There was no indication of an issue, and we've owned the vehicle for about 8 years. It makes me even wearier than i'm am regarding the issue of "following distance" for cars. It could happen to anybody, and it will happen again, most likely to someone--perhaps with dire consequences i spoke with nissan service in kirkland, wa and was told that it was "most likely handled by insurance" and that "there was nothing nissan could do for me." |
