2012 Nissan Murano

I HAVE A 2012 NISSAN MURANO (SL) WITH ABOUT 35K MILES ON IT. WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK THE MORNING OF 09/16/14 THE SUNROOF LITERALLY EXPLODED UPWARD FOR NO REASON. NO IMPACT, ROAD HAZARD, OR OTHER DEBRIS. TEMPERATURE WAS CONSTANT (60'S) DRY, NO EXTREMES. PART OF THE ROOF WAS THE SLIDING SECTION FOR THE SUNROOF. ORIGINAL SUNROOF AS OF PURCHASE (I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER). *TR

ON 4/26/14, WHILE TRAVELING NORTH ON RT. 7 IN KENT, CONNECTICUT AT 45 MPH IN OUR 2012 NISSAN MURANO SL, MY HUSBAND AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD STARTLING SOUND, WHICH SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT AND WHAT I THOUGHT I HEARD ALONG WITH A SMASH NOISE. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I LOOKED AT THE WINDOWS BEHIND THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATS THINKING SOMEONE SHOT AT US. NOTHING. WE GOT OUT AND LOOKED AT THE TIRES TO SEE IF A TIRE BLEW OUT. THEY WERE ALL FINE. FINALLY, A PICKUP TRUCK PULLED UP ALONGSIDE OF US TO ASK IF EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT. WE TOLD HIM WHAT WE HEARD, BUT EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. HE LEFT. RIGHT BEFORE WE GOT BACK INTO THE VEHICLE, MY HUSBAND LOOKED UP OVER THE ROOF AND SAID, YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT, IT WAS YOUR SUN ROOF. THE ENTIRE CENTER SECTION OF THE SUN ROOF THAT IS ABOVE THE FRONT SEATS WAS A LARGE HOLE, SMASHED FROM WHAT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR GOING OUTWARDS. WE DIDN'T SEE ANY ROCKS OR ANY OTHER DEBRIS THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT IN THE AREA, AND THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND US, NO TREES OVERHEAD AND NO OVERPASSES AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED. JUST THE GLASS SHARDS AND PIECES THAT WERE NOW SITTING ON THE FABRIC VISOR THAT SEPARATED US FROM THE GLASS. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF WHAT PEOPLE WERE CALLING "SUNROOF EXPLOSIONS" OR "SPONTANEOUS SUNROOF EXPLOSIONS." I WROTE TO NISSAN CORPORATE REGARDING MY CONCERN OF THE EXPLODING SUNROOF, AND ONLY RECEIVED A GENERIC BOILERPLATE RESPONSE STATING I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THAT WAS IT FROM NISSAN. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAZARD AND I WONDER WHY THESE INCIDENTS, WHICH ARE POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET, HAVE NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED TO DATE. *JS
