Consumer Description
I was driving home on the Veterans Expressway in Tampa traveling about 65 mph when a sound like a gunshot almost caused me to lose control as I swerved out of fear - thankfully no other vehicles were nearby. I pulled over at the next exit in a public place and discovered my sunroof class had a piece of glass missing and it looked like it was pushed upwards. I knew this is not normal and never had I had this happen in any other car I owned with a sunroof. I had very small slivers of glass inside the car which cut my fingers because they were not visible, along with the tempered glass. Since it was going to rain, I drove home and put in garage to avoid water damage. I called the dealership in Sarasota and they stated this was reported by another customer in recent months. There was no warning there was a problem with my sunroof, nothing hit it, and it had been opening and closing with no problems. I’m lucky not to have crashed. In addition, flying glass that broke free created an even more dangerous situation for other drivers - thankfully the road was empty - by the time I was able to get to a gas station closer to home, the majority of the glass was missing. I researched the problem online and discovered numerous reports online suggesting this is a frequent problem with Nissan/Infiniti - apparently there is already a class action suit, but not for my model. Please investigate this dangerous problem immediately and ask Infiniti to inspect and issue recalls on their sunroofs. Unfortunately I believe they know a problem exists and have not issued a recall for the safety of their consumers. The cost to repair is in the thousands and I am without a car plus there are glass shards inside my car. **I tried to upload pictures but wasn’t able to do it from my phone - I have multiple pictures to share
