WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE INSIDE AND OUT OF CAR. NO ROAD HAZARD OR DEBRIS NOTED TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE. NO WEATHER ISSUES PRESENT. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY APPROXIMATELY 78 DEGREES F. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AT TIME OF INCIDENT. IT WAS EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND CAUSED CONFUSION WHILE TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. THIS WAS A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC EACH WAY WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN IMPACTED WOULD I HAVE SWERVED OR OTHERWISE REACTED TO THE SOUND OR RAINING GLASS SHARDS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Is 153 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2011 and 2026, roughly 10 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
