| Description of the problem | Sunroof explosion. My wife driving her car left home garage, traveled approximately 6 miles. She heard a loud explosion like a gunshot and pulled to side of road thinking a tire had blown. After determining the tires were ok discovered a hole approximately 12 inches by 8 inches of jagged glass missing from retractable sunroof. The glass was contained by the sliding inside sun shade. The weather was 95 degrees and clear. The car had not been sitting in the sun. Nissan dealer refused to acknowledge this as a defect or warranty issue and insisted something had hit the sunroof although there were no visible results of an object hitting it. The glass was clearly pointing out not inward to indicate the explosion was from the inside out and not the opposite. The internet details many examples of this including a lawsuit filed against kia. Update 9/15/15*cw nissan paid for the sunroof replacement. Updated 01/15/16.*jb |
