Description of the problem | Sunroof exploded from the inside out of my 2007 infiniti g35x. Vehicle was moving on highway at 65 mph - nothing hit the vehicle to cause the explosion. This is definitely a manufacturer's defect which could have caused a very serious accident with injuries or death. Car was towed to the dealership where car was purchased. The manufacturer and the dealership will not take responsibility for the defect, nor will they provide data to back up their statement that this is a safe vehicle. No investigation or vehicle inspection was conducted. Sunroof was removed and replaced without my consent. They want to repair the vehicle without any concrete explanation or data of why this occurred? |
