Sunroof suddenly shattered on interstate 90. Nothing hit or fell on the car. Looks as if excessive pressure in the cabin exploded the glass sunroof out.

The plastic latch mechanism holding the eyeglass case (built into the overhead center console) shut broke. This prevents the holder from staying shut. The unlatched case blocks the rear view mirror thus preventing the operator from seeing rearward. Is this considered a visibility hazard?

When driving on the highway, there is an extremely loud buzzing noise from the front of the windshield wiper area. The encasing being loose and dry rotting. This will eventually fall apart and cause issues with the wiper module.

The fan for heat and air conditioning suddenly quits working. The fan motor makes a roaring noise. The wipers will only work on high. Our Jeep only has 60K. We have already had an oil leak and had to replace the water pump. Also the check engine light is on code says it's an exhaust leak. We are very disappointed in the over all quality.

The single pane sunroof exploded while parked. Glass shattered everywhere. The shadeguard was closed at the time and prevented glass from getting to the interior of the car. This happened in the overnight hours and nothing was seen on the video camera monitoring the cars to cause this. No objects were found near the car or inside the sunroof area. I have called my insurance company and was directed to a glass company who has told me they do not fix sunroofs and that my insurance company will call me regarding my claim but I have not heard back from them. I am expecting to pay for this myself. I have owned the car for 2 years. The temperature was excessively high outside during this time but this was overnight and under large trees with shading and not in direct sunlight. The car had not been driven for at least 2 days before this incident nor had it been moved from the location.

I've noticed that more than 90% of my visibly is obstructed by the windshield frame, door frame and mirror. There is a major blind spot, making this very dangerous to view oncoming traffic, or a pedestrian.

The front side windows of the driver and passenger seats do not wipe off the rain when you put windows down and then back up. There is a big enough gap where large raindrops are unmoved when the window goes down. Visibility is poor out of windows and side mirrors during a storm. Jeep said the windows are designed to keep dirt from getting inside of the door effecting the electrical equipment but I have never had a car that couldn't do both. This is a safety issue that should be addressed.

I own a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo limited, purchased from a dealer new. Last week I pulled into my driveway, turned the Jeep off and went to get out and my alarm system went off. Could not turn it off with either fob, I was even able to start it up and drive. Remote start would not work for 3 days. Cruise control just turns off when it wants while driving on interstate over 60 mph. Gps states I'm off route and freezes in the location where it happened on interstate, normal weather(no overcast/fog). Wipers just start working while sitting in the driveway idling, as you're driving...no dust, rain, bugs etc...windshield leaks and rain comes in from behind the rearview mirror/sunglass holder when it rains and you have to take a sharp turn(not with normal turns)...leaks down on cell phone which sits in little cubby to charge. The vehicle surges when going under 20 mph, usually when you are trying to start from a stop is when it' worse. Under 25K miles and I am afraid as to what might happen next.
