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 Nissan 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 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.

I came too a stop sign. I proceeded to make a right turn as I accelerated I heard what sounded like a gunshot. The sunroof apparently exploded and it rained glass on me. I was shocked I pulled over and looked throughout car looking for a object thinking it was thrown at the car. I exited looked for physical damage besides the shattered roof. Nothing was scratched or dented. I looked at the roof I noticed the glass shattered upward. It looked like it exploded inside out. I looked up online and see this happens more then I thought.
