The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Altima. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, a gunshot-like sound came from the vehicle. The contact stated that upon pulling back the sunroof shade, several glass pieces fell from the sunroof. The vehicle was initially taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the independent mechanic could not repair the sunroof. The vehicle was then taken to a Nissan dealer who then referred the contact to a Chevrolet dealer. The vehicle was taken to Monument Chevrolet (3940 Pasadena Fwy, Pasadena, TX 77503), and the contact was informed that the part to repair the vehicle would be a ten-year-old sunroof found at a junkyard. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

While driving 65 mph on the freeway when my sun roof exploded a very loud boom.glass flew outward causing the glass to scratch the roof and trunk. Went to Nissan dealership and talked to manger and explain what happened. He told me I could not prove that it was a manufacturer defect. There was nobody around me at the time of explosion it also was not hot. It was at 9:00 am in the morning and was 68 degrees. My car is garage kept. This week our local news station had a segment about sun roofs exploding on Nissan with over 100 reports of the very same thing that happened to my car. I was told by Nissan to file a claim on my insurance and pay my $500 dollar deductible. I feel that this was a manufacturer defect and should be investigated. I am upset that Nissan dismissed me knowing they already been having complaints on this same problem.

I came too a stop sign. I proceeded to make a right turn as I accelerated I heard what sounded like a gunshot. The sunroof apparently exploded and it rained glass on me. I was shocked I pulled over and looked throughout car looking for a object thinking it was thrown at the car. I exited looked for physical damage besides the shattered roof. Nothing was scratched or dented. I looked at the roof I noticed the glass shattered upward. It looked like it exploded inside out. I looked up online and see this happens more then I thought.
