Nissan Juke sunroof shattered problems

Filed Jan 3, 2023 · WA

My sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving 25 mph and no other cars around me. This seems to be a regular problem known to Nissan but Nissan will take no responsibility for THEIR defective product. $2000 for Nissan to replace.

My sunroof exploded for no reason. My car was parked in front of my house. Thank goodness I was not driving on the highway I take to go to work everyday. Weather temps were ideal not too hot nor cold. Unknown on how this occurred.

I went outside to start my car to warm it up, I live in michigan and this happened during winter so it was between 15-25 degrees that night. I closed the door after I got out of my stationary vehicle, and the sunroof shattered. I did not close it hard, I do not slam my car doors. There was no chips or cracks in the sunroof previous to it shattering. I read online about nissan having a recall for their sunroofs in another vehicle, something about faulty glass temperment and/or they used a thinner glass to save money.

My car was parked in my driveway. I got into it to go to work, and when I shut the driver's side door the sunroof shattered on top of me. I got out of the car to look at the damage. The sunroof looked warped upward in a couple places, and it was shattered. When I closed the door again, even more of it fell into my car. (I live in texas. There was a slight frost on my front windshield but that's all. The weather alone could not have caused my tempered glass sunroof to crack and shatter.)

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.

While driving on the highway the sunroof on my 2011 nissan juke exploded. It sounded like someone had short my car. Thankfully the shade was closed or the glass wound have fallen down while driving, causing an injury or possible crash. The extreme noise itself was very scary and could have resulted in a crash due to being so startled.
