AS I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY, MY SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWARDS. I WAS NOT ACTUATING THE SUNROOF IN ANY WAY AT THE TIME AND THE INTERIOR SHADE WAS CLOSED. A LARGE, CENTRAL PORTION OF THE GLASS WAS PROPELLED INTO THE AIR AND RAINED BACK DOWN ON THE CAR. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN RIGHT NEXT TO MY EAR. I SAW GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF SLIDING DOWN THE REAR WINDOW. WHAT REMAINS OF THE SUNROOF IS AN OUTER RING OF GLASS THAT IS SLANTED UPWARDS TOWARDS THE CENTER, LIKE A VOLCANO, PROVING THAT THE GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARDS. I HAVE A DASH CAM IN MY CAR THAT RECORDED EXACTLY WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE TIME, INCLUDING AUDIO. THE VIDEO SHOWS NOTHING THAT COULD HAVE IMPACTED THE SUNROOF AND AN EXTREMELY LOUD BANG AS THE SUNROOF EXPLODED ON ITS OWN. *TR

I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. NO OVERPASS, TREES, OTHER VEHICLES, ETC. THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN, I ACCELERATED, WHEN MY CAR REACHED 15 MPH I HEARD AN EXPLOSION.

I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. NO OVERPASS, TREES, OTHER VEHICLES, ETC. THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN, I ACCELERATED, WHEN MY CAR REACHED 15 MPH I HEARD AN EXPLOSION. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO INSPECT MY TIRES. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. I GOT BACK IN MY CAR, PULLED BACK ON THE ROAD AND COULD HEAR WIND. I PULLED BACK OVER AND GOT OUT TO FIND THE SUNROOF GLASS HAD EXPLODED. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO INFINITI TWO HOURS LATER THE ONLY THING THE SERVICE MANAGER COULD TELL ME WAS THAT IT WAS NOT SOMETHING I DID AND MAYBE IT WAS POSITIVE PRESSURE. AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION ALL WINDOWS, INCLUDING THE SUNROOF, WERE CLOSED AND THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS ON FRESH AIR. MY CAR IS LESS THAN A MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY AND A LOT LESS THAN 60K. CURRENTLY, INFINITI IS NOT OFFERING TO REPAIR THE SUNROOF UNDER GOOD FAITH OR WARRANTY. *KB

SUNROOF EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT OF MY 2007 INFINITI G35X. VEHICLE WAS MOVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH - NOTHING HIT THE VEHICLE TO CAUSE THE EXPLOSION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR DEATH. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT, NOR WILL THEY PROVIDE DATA TO BACK UP THEIR STATEMENT THAT THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE. NO INVESTIGATION OR VEHICLE INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. SUNROOF WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITHOUT MY CONSENT. THEY WANT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY CONCRETE EXPLANATION OR DATA OF WHY THIS OCCURRED? *TR

WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL AND GOING DOWNHILL THERE IS A CONSTANT BRAKING FEELING THAT MAKES THE RIDE FEEL JERKY. NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. SPOKE WITH OTHER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE SAME EXPERIENCE AND DEA;ER ADVISED NOTHING CAN BE DONE. SUNROOF IS VERY NOISY WHEN OPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FLAP THAT POPS UP WHEN THE ROOF IS OPENED IS THE CULPRIT. WHEN YOU HOLD DOWN WITH YOUR HAND IT IS MUCH QUIETER. *TR

CERTAIN VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE "VERTICAL GRADIENT" AND "HEADLAMP PHOTOMETRIC VALUES" REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, 'LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.'
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS STANDARD IS TO REDUCE CRASHES, INJURIES AND DEATHS BY PROVIDING ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION OF THE ROADWAY, AND BY ENHANCING THE CONSPICUITY OF MOTOR VEHICLES ON THE PUBLIC ROADS SO THAT THEIR PRESENCE IS PERCEIVED AND THEIR SIGNALS UNDERSTOOD, BOTH IN DAYLIGHT AND IN DARKNESS OR OTHER CONDITIONS OF REDUCED VISIBILITY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT APRIL 16, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT INFINITI AT 1-800-662-6200.
