| Description of the problem | As i was driving into the parking deck in charlotte and the sunroof on my 2009 murano exploded. I am sure it was not hit by any rock or other object because i was parking. Luckily, my five year old daughter and wife were not with me because this scared me. The glass cracked all the way around and i was not showered with glass as the sunscreen was closed. If i were on the highway, i would have wrecked not knowing what this was or coming from. This is a safety issue. I was able to get out in the parking deck and take pictures. As i drove back to columbia, sc, most of the loose glass blew off leaving a large hole on the top and other drivers were startled with what was happening. This has to be addressed because i have kept my car up to date with the necessary services. This is definitely a hazard that could place lives in jeopardy. Apparently, this is an ongoing situation. I have contacted a lawyer for assistance if nissan north america does not address this concern. |
