Description of the problem | Driving down i-75 i heard a loud bang, like a gunshot, in my car. I frantically started looking around the car and didn't see anything. I called my husband that was about a mile away to come check my car. My husband got out and walked around the car not seeing anything immediately. He walked to me and gave me his keys so i could drive his car home and he was going to take mine. Walking back to the car he saw the sunroof bulged up. He stood in the door frame and saw a large hole in the sunroof and told me it looks like it exploded outwards. Luckily the shade was closed so i was not covered in glass. Nissan does not want to fix it because "they didn't make the glass" according to the rep i spoke to. Even though it was oem and installed in a nissan factory. State farm will not cover the damages due to it being a manufacturing defect. That sticks me with the $1900 bill. Now i am terrified to even drive the car and it doing it again. It was truly one of the scariest moments of my life. |
