Consumer Description

May 17,2023 6:30a.m. I drove to work, parked for 9hrs & at 4pm when I went to leave my sunroof was shattered.. there are no trees or anything that is over my car.. it looked as though someone had gotten inside my car & punched the sunroof as the glass was slightly pushed outwards.. my car was locked & no signs of entry... upon my arrival to Hudson Nissan I was informed by a Nissan Service Writer that this happens all the time & he told me to look it up on Youtube or Google.. After looking it up & seeing that exploding sunroofs happen daily, I did more research & saw there are current & past lawsuits pertaining to exploding sunroofs..that is also where I saw that I needed to file my exploding sunroof on this site. My car was inspected by a certified Nissan technician that said my entire roof system needed to be replaced. My car was also inspected by a certified State Farm Adjuster that only wants to pay for the rear glass. Thankfully I was not driving at the time of the incident, however, after viewing several videos of consumers this has happened to, they all said it sounds like a gunshot.. I've been shot, still carry the bullet in my neck, I cannot even imagine how I'd react if I were on the interstate driving 65mph and hear what appears to be a gunshot inside my car...or if my grandson was riding along. I cant say how I'd react,, but im guessing everyone around me would be at risk including myself.. I just can't phathom why this issue is still allowed to happen. The entire process has been a complete nightmare. I've been without a vehicle since May 17, 2023. State Farm doesn't want to pay for what the manufacturer/dealership suggests & once I get it fixed I will be trading it... I do not ever want to go through this again!
