What owners wrote
I was driving at 70 MPH on smooth interstate highway with light traffic . There was a loud explosion. After stopping in a safe location, I discovered the moon roof had shattered into tiny pieces. I am positive there were no rocks or structures above..there was 1500 miles on the car. The sliding ceiling was closed or there would be shattered glass all over the interior. No one was injured but it was very distracting and could have caused me to loose control. The moonroof glass may have been faulty.
Windows will not always go down when temperatures at or below 26 degrees fahrenheit. Reported problem to dealer on january 6, 2021. Made service appointment for january 19,2021. They verified problem. Dealer ordered replacement driver's side run channel, appointment made for installation january 26, 2021. Morning of january 28, 2021, temperature 20 degrees f, none of the windows would go down. No frost/snow/ice on windows.
