Sunroof shattered by model year
What owners say
Driving at highway at about 65 mph last night with almost no cars around us when we (wife and I) heard loud bang above us almost like an explosion. I pulled over safely and found out the sunroof is completely shattered out of the blue. There was no cars or trucks around us and no debris. It just exploded. We were not harmed since the shade was pulled and prevented glass from falling into the inside of the car. Very scary experience
Sunroof exploded while driving. Glass exploded everywhere and could have hit my children in the backseat, as well as my husband and I sitting in the front. No warning signs at all.
Sunroof glass exploded while driving on interstate. Shade was closed so glass did not get inside the car.
Sunroof exploded while driving.
I was driving on the highway when suddenly my sunroof shattered. It sounded as if someone hit my glass with a bat. It was late at night and there were no trucks or other cars around me. There are no other scratches or dents on the roof of my car and no rocks were found in the shade with the glass. Thankful that I had the shade closed because other wise I would've been covered in glass and possibly cut. This has to be a recall, a safety recall at that.
I was traveling on the interstate and heard a loud bang, like a gunshot overhead and glass fell into the cabin on myself, wife and two kids. The sunroof on our 2014 infinity qx60 was closed, but had exploded into thousands of pieces. I observed no road debris or falling meteors that could have struck the sunroof and caused it to explode. Upon further investigation, it appears that spontaneously exploding sunroofs are an increasing problem that manufacturers and dealerships refuse to acknowledge, which is also our experience as we were forced to file an insurance claim in order to replace the sunroof.
My 2014 infiniti qx60 has a sunroof that exploded while driving on the freeway. I was driving approximately 65mph when I heard the loudest "bang" I have ever heard. I thought the car had gotten shot. Upon pulling over and examining the vehicle, I saw that the sunroof had exploded. I had not passed under any overpasses, no trucks were near my vehicle. I noted that the there was not even a scratch to the interior sunroof panel, which would have sustained damage if something had fallen on it. Furthermore, it was obvious from the glass that the damage was not from a falling object. Shards of glass had apparently blown into the streets as I drove. I was extremely shaken as I swerved when I heard the noise
Sunroof glass spontaneously exploded n shattered into small pieces shards and glass dust without impact from anything.
I was driving on a highway and all of a sudden I hear a loud boom, as if a gun was fired right by my ear. I almost ran into another car because it startled me so. I pulled off onto a median and inspected the car. I looked at my car and when I looked at the roof, I realized that my sunroof was shattered. I was shocked! I was very fortunate to not have gotten into an accident. My son, who was with me was also very scared. He was worried about the other windows exploding. It was very frightening.
