| Description of the problem | The sunroof of my 2012 nissan murano exploded while driving approximately 65 mph on a highway. I was in an isolated pocket of traffic with no other vehicle nearby. I heard the explosion, then a loud sound of wind as the sunroof was gone and the wind blowing through the cover. Some glass came through the edges of the cover. I saw chunks of glass blowing behind me in the rearview mirror. Nissan tried to claim the damage was caused by a rock. The local dealership said it was evident there was an outward explosion of the class caused by pressure. You can see where the explosion pushed the broken glass outward. |
