What owners wrote
While driving a 2004 maxima ( a rental from enterprise) on interstate 91 in ct. On 3/7/2004, out of no where the glass roof exploded outward. Glass covered me and the backseat of the car. Nothing hit the car, I went under no overpasses, there were no other vehicles around me at the time. I nearly lost control of the car and suffered minor scratches to forehead and arm from the shattered glass.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 nissan maxima. After the contact's sun roof was replaced, he began to see bubbles on the replaced glass and rust on the roof of his vehicle. Nissan was notified, but has not done anything to correct the failures. The current mileage was 41,000 and failure mileage was 38,000.
