2017 Nissan Rogue: sunroof shattered

Filed Jul 10, 2022 · NV

The sunroof on my 2017 Nissan Rogue exploded. I was driving down the freeway (paved), no cars in front of me for as far as I could see. Outside temperature was 100-degrees, driving roughly 60-65mph. Suddenly there was a very, very loud CRASH/POP! I was extremely startled. Thankfully I maintained control of my vehicle as my whole body tensed up. I looked around wondering what just happened (sounded like a shotgun) - as I looked in the rear view mirror I saw chunks of glass fly off the top of my vehicle, and I was now hearing wind, as if my sunroof were open, although all windows were closed & the AC was on high. I pulled over to see what happened & found shattered glass & a gaping hole - about 2 1/2 feet by 1 1/2 feet across, with obvious signs that it blew outward. The entire thing is shattered. Thankfully I had the fabric barrier closed, otherwise I would've been pelted/showered with shards of glass. As far as the list of questions... no warning lights or signs that a fail was eminent. I have not yet contacted my insurance. And I have sent an message to Nissan but am awaiting their reply.

Was driving down the highway at 55mph when I heard a loud explosion like a bomb went off. I could then hear air blowing through the car. I pulled off the highway only to realize the sunroof, which had been closed, had completely exploded. There were no other vehicles around me at the time and was traveling on an open stretch of highway with no overpasses yet the hole on the sunroof looked like a crater dropped from the sky through it. Thankfully I had the shade closed or this could have caused a serious accident.

I was driving down the highway around 9:30am on 10-27-17 when it sounded like a gunshot. I then heard glass raining down on the top of my sun shield. My sunroof had exploded. I was only around two vehicles when this occurred and there was no road debris. Nissan stated they will look into this issue but that I need to turn a claim into my insurance.
