NHTSA Complaint #10533049 — 2013 LEXUS ES

MY 2013 LEXUS ES 350 HAS A PANORAMA SUNROOF WHICH EXPLODED WHEN AN ATTENDED CLOSED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I ONLY HAD THE CAR EIGHT MONTHS AND HAVE LESS THAN 6,000 MILES. THE WEATHER THAT DAY WAS SUNNY AND 75 DEGREES.I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPEN IF MY 82 YEAR OLD MOM WAS IN THE CAR. WE HAD PLANS FOR THAT DAY TO TRAVEL OUT OF STATE THAT VERY DAY. THE SHATTER GLASS FELL INSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY JUST THE MERE SOUND OF THE EXPLOSION COULD HAVE STARTLE ME AND I MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. THERE IS A GREAT POSSIBILITY OF EXPLODING ROOFS CAUSING INJURIES . THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
