Panoramic sunroof suddenly exploded at 75 mph on the interstate, no other vehicles around, no overpasses, no existing cracks. Sounded like a shotgun and startled me so early in the morning, and I almost ran off the road. Had there been vehicles or trucks in the other lane I would have swerved into them. Tempered glass and tiny shards of glass rained down on me and were covering the car, as well as my skin. Covered in glass and a little blood and still shaking, I had to drive 40 minutes to the dealership where they told me I had to file an insurance claim and they would not replace it otherwise. This is a definite problem after researching it with hundreds of similar cases. Nice weather, no cause, other than manufacturer defect. If I had wrecked or my child had been in the car, this could have been very bad. Still finding pieces of glass in the console and under head rests months after.
Vehicle hesitates coming out of turns especially when surrounded by other cars.(heavy traffic) the vehicle does not accelerate when stepping on gas. This has happened in all driving modes.
I'm stopped at a street, waiting to turn on a main road. I just have a stop sign, but the cross traffic doesn't have to stop. I start to turn out when there's an opening, and my car stalls for a few seconds. Sometimes it's longer, sometimes it's shorter. This has happened multiple times. It my car doesn't go quick enough, I could get hit. I've noticed this is the worst when I have it in eco mode. This exact thing happens when I'm also trying to accelerate once I've merged onto a highway. It's like my car is stopping when I'm trying to accelerate to get to the pace of the traffic on the highway.
The vehicle hesitates when coming out of turns and rolling stops when attempting to accelerate. More frequent when in eco mode, is an issue to a lesser degree in other driving modes.
I was driving down the highway about 70 mph approximately 4:45 am when I heard a loud explosion. My middle panel of my panoramic sunroof exploded causing a circular hole in the sunroof initially which eventually caused the entire middle panel to break a part. There were no motor vehicles around me at the time. I have attached the repairs for my automobile.
