I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROUTE 295 IN VIRGINIA WITH NO OVERPASSES OR ELEVATIONS AROUND ME AND NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME ONLY BEHIND ME, WHEN SUDDENLY THE SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED. LUCKILY SINCE MY SUNROOF WAS CLOSED I HAD THE INSIDE COVER PULLED FORWARD SO THE GLASS DID NOT FALL ON TOP OF ME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER FOR ME IF THE GLASS HAD FALLEN ON ME AND CREATED OR CAUSED ME TO TURN INTO OTHER TRAFFIC. PHOTO

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
