Altima 6-cyl

While driving my vehicle on a highway at about 60 mph the sunroof exploded. Shattered glass flew all over the interior of the vehicle. It was about 9pm. The road was smooth and only one other car was riding about 100 feet behind me. There were absolutely no overpasses.

Altima

  • 99,000 miles
The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced severe vibration after being started and while being operated. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine mount bolt was stripped and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. In addition, the sun roof detached from the vehicle independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as a bolt missing in the sun roof and, due to weather conditions, caused corrosion of the sun roof. The vehicle was repaired; however, the contact heard an abnormal sound from the sun roof area. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 99,000.
