NHTSA Complaint #10983606 — 2014 NISSAN MURANO

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WESTBOUND ON HIGHWAY I-72/US 36 NEAR HANNIBAL, MISSOURI, WE HEARD A LOUD AND SUDDEN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN A CATASTROPHIC LOSS OF THE SUNROOF ON OUR SUV. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THE SUNROOF AND SUNSHADE WERE CLOSED. THE HIGHWAY WAS LIGHTLY TRAVELED AND THERE WERE NO VEHICLES (CARS, TRUCKS, BUSES, ETC.) IN THE VICINITY. WE DID NOT PASS UNDER ANY OVERPASSES. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE AREA THAT WOULD HAVE GENERATED A PROJECTILE THAT WOULD HIT A SUNROOF 5 1/2' ABOVE THE PAVEMENT. SIMPLY STATED, WE WERE AN ISOLATED CAR ON A DESERTED STRETCH OF HIGHWAY. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE CLEAR AND SUNNY WITH LIGHT CLOUDS. THE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50 DEGREES AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.
