What owners wrote

Have a 2007 lexus is250. Was on a freeway yesterday and suddenly heard this loud pop and thought something exploded or landed on my roof. I saw debris coming off my roof thru my rearview mirror. I opened my sunroof shade and saw a huge hole right in the middle of my sunroof!! My sunroof just shattered! I thought something hit me but I looked around there were no bridges, overpass, nor cars close to me so this can't be rocks or other objects.

March 2007

As I drove down I95 my visibility was impaired by a large glare on my window cause by a reflection off of the melted and defected lexus is250's dash board. I have brought this up to lexus of pembroke pines and was told the can not do anything for me.
