Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Sunroof spontaneously shattered while driving. No other cars around when this occurred. Caused a very loud BANG. Was driving on the freeway when this occurred. Dealer would not confirm issue was spontaneous - felt something must have hit the car to cause this. No defined impact location on roof. Also, roof glass was pushed up in the middle instead of down like would be expected if something hit it from the outside. No warning before it occurred.
DOORS MUST BE FORCEFULLY CLOSED IN ORDER TO FULLY LOCK. FREQUENTLY THE DOORS (ANY OF THE 4 ON THE CAR) DO NOT CLOSE UPON VEHICLE ENTRY. NO WARNING THAT THE DOOR IS NOT CLOSED IS PROVIDED BY THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY MILES WITH THIS UNSAFE CONDITION, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT FULLY LATCHED UPON MY ARRIVAL AT MY DESTINATION. THE REAR HATCH ON THIS CAR ALSO SPONTANEOUSLY CLOSED DOWN ON ME WHEN I WAS LOADING PACKAGES INTO THE CARGO AREA. THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH HANDS-FREE HATCH OPENING WHICH ERRONEOUSLY INTERPRETED MY MOVEMENT WHILE LOADING THE PACKAGES AS A COMMAND TO CLOSE THE HATCH. THE SENSOR IS UNDER THE REAR BUMPER, CENTERED RIGHT WHERE ONE WOULD STAND WHILE LOADING THE CAR.
