NHTSA Complaint #10606416 — 2010 MAZDA MAZDA3

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH, I HEARD LIKE A GUNSHOT AND AT FIRST THOUGHT THERE WAS A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT BEHIND ME. HOWEVER, I IMMEDIATELY REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A GAPING HOLE IN MY SUNROOF. AT THE TIME, THE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92 DEGREES AND THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED. THE INSIDE COVER, HOWEVER, WAS OPEN, SO THERE WAS GLASS EVERYWHERE INSIDE MY CAR. I WAS TRAVELING UPHILL AT THE TIME AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY DEBRIS OR ROCKS. MY FRONT WINDSHIELD AND THE BODY OF MY CAR WAS FINE. IT WAS JUST THE SUNROOF THAT SEEMED TO EXPLODE ON ITS OWN. MAZDA WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS INCIDENT. AN INSURANCE CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED. *TR
