NHTSA Complaint #10946283 — 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA

WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY SUN ROOF EXPLODED A VERY LOUD BOOM.GLASS FLEW OUTWARD CAUSING THE GLASS TO SCRATCH THE ROOF AND TRUNK. WENT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO MANGER AND EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. HE TOLD ME I COULD NOT PROVE THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND ME AT THE TIME OF EXPLOSION IT ALSO WAS NOT HOT. IT WAS AT 9:00 AM IN THE MORNING AND WAS 68 DEGREES. MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT. THIS WEEK OUR LOCAL NEWS STATION HAD A SEGMENT ABOUT SUN ROOFS EXPLODING ON NISSANS WITH OVER 100 REPORTS OF THE VERY SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN TO FILE A CLAIM ON MY INSURANCE AND PAY MY 500.00 DOLLAR DEDUCTIBLE. I FEEL THAT THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I AM UPSET THAT NISSAN DISMISSED ME KNOWING THEY ALREADY BEEN HAVING COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR
