I have a 2011 Nissan Maxima. The sunroof busted while I was driving down the high way. I had to go to the eye doctor for glass particles being in my eye, and I took the car to the dealership and they could not help me according to the service rep. I bought this car at moore Nissan in birmingham Alabama, and they did not have a sense of urgency at all. The customer service was awful and they were not concerned about my safety or the safety of my toddler child......updated12/07/15 updated 4/27/18

Maxima 6-cyl

  • 39,516 miles
The rear glass panel of sunroof "exploded" with chunks of glass coming off the panel and over the next few hours the entire panel exhibited major cracking throughout. Sunroof was closed at the time and outside temperature was about 45 degrees. Wife was slowing on highway to turn into driveway. She stated the nearest vehicle was over 1/4 mile ahead of her so no possibility of rock being thrown from their tires. Sounded like a shotgun blast in the car when it occurred. Since it was the back panel no glass fell into the car that we could see.

Maxima 6-cyl

  • 43,452 miles
While driving down the highway Sunday July 21st around 9:40am my moon roof imploded while being closed. It sounded like a gun shot in the car, I noticed that the glass was blowing towards the rear of the car. The glass hit my trunk and now has several dings due to the glass flying. Now I am at the dealer and they are telling me that this isn't covered by warranty. I only have the car for 3 months. While doing research online I noticed that this isn't an isolated situation. Apparently there isn't a manufactures defect either. What should I do?
