2009 Nissan MURANO Visibility Sun Roof Assembly Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1158774
Internal NHTSA #	10683749
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	MURANO
Model Year	2009
File date	13/02/15
Component	VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My sunroof over driver and passenger seats literally exploded while driving on interstate- sunny 38 degree day, not under a bridge or near other cars . The noise was deafening, and glass came crashing on my (the driver) head and on the children in the back seat. The roof exploded upward like a volcano. Nothing hit the roof, as we were shaken but able to pull over and check the car for any evidence of something crashing into sunroof. But the roof exploded upward and outward as it became obvious that a large chunk of glass from roof was missing. The sunroof was closed, but the sun shade was open. Reported problem to nissan, but they have yet to get back to me. This is a major problem and a huge safety concern. This problem seems to stem from a pressure problem within the murano. This is extremely dangerous!! Sunroof is being replaced, but i'm now terrified to drive my car, seeing as how this can happen again, and we may not be as fortunate to pull over safely and make it to side of road! Nissan must deal with this problem! This can potentially be a fatal flaw on the murano.
