Sunroof spontaneously exploded. While driving at approximately 35 miles per hour on a smooth, relatively level, paved road, the sunroof spantaneously exploded. The elevation above sea level was less than 200ft, and the outside temperature was in the mid 30s. The sunroof was not hit by an object. The explosion sounded like a gunshot, and we truly believed that our car had been shot at. The incident occurred in good weather in day light conditions. Had this incident occurred on a highway, at night, or in adverse weather conditions, this event could have easily resulted in a serious accident. It took approximately 10 minutes for us to realized that the explosive sound had come from the roof of the car. Our insurance company, Allstate, covered the cost of a new sunroof minus a deductible. I have learned from online research that exploding sunroofs are not uncommon, and that NHTSA has been investigating them for several years. We trust our government to establish timely standards to ensure public safety. NHTSA needs to take timely action to stop this phenomenon. Inaction has the potential to cause public harm, and would be a failure of the DOT to do its job ensuring public safety.

Acid rain etching on the windshield severely impairs visibility when driving toward the sun in mornings and afternoon. The same was true for a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder I owned, but other brands I have owned, including a 2007 Toyota Tundra I currently own, were and are not affected by acid rain. The problem appears to be unique to Nissan glass. Today, while driving toward the setting sun, I narrowly missed a pedestrian on a rural road. I have filed two complaint reports with Nissan, including one following the near-miss today. The first one was filed about two weeks ago, but Nissan has not responded. From my perspective, Nissan has a systemic problem with glass that is hypersensitive to acid rain. And since no other vehicle brands seems to have the problem, I believe Nissan should investigate the problem in the interest of public safety.
