What owners wrote

On my way home from work I had the sunroof opened and a rock hit the deflector (a piece of tempered glass) and shattered it. I took it to the dealer and it was replaced at a cost of $907.66. My concern is that this deflector and sunroof are unsafe...being only tempered glass and not safety glass. The entire roof is made of this glass. I had assumed that the vehicle was safe. I fear that any falling object (like a stone or hail) poses a danger to my safety.

Reported at 900 miles, October 2009

Low beam headlights stopped working during night driving. Had to drive home with high beams only at night. Felt endangered and very unsafe both for myself and the public.
