The entire instrument display panel (which includes things like gear, speed, fuel level, auto hold status, etc.) was completely black with no information displayed. The navigation system still illuminated, but the gps was not working properly and resulted in the car thinking (and telling me) that I was driving on the wrong side of the road. My safety was at risk and the safety of other drivers because I had zero feedback about the operation of my vehicle. I was able to drive it, but only able to rely on visual cues (going with pace of traffic). It's currently at the dealer now, but yes I recreated it several times. The only possible warning sign is that a few weeks prior, the vehicle gave me a message stating 'Battery discharging due to external electrical devices', despite no external electrical devices being plugged in. I took it to the dealer, and they had no idea what the cause was but said my battery tested fine.

As I was driving to work my sunroof exploded. I was miles away from an overpass and nothing flew out of any vehicle around me. It just randomly exploded. I could hear glass shuffling around on my sunshade. Thankfully the sunshade wasn't open or else I would have been covered in glass. Took it to a dealership and they told me it …

As I was driving to work my sunroof exploded. I was miles away from an overpass and nothing flew out of any vehicle around me. It just randomly exploded. I could hear glass shuffling around on my sunshade. Thankfully the sunshade wasn't open or else I would have been covered in glass. Took it to a dealership and they told me it wasn't covered under any warranty and to tell my insurance it was "due to weather and wind causing the sunroof to bend and flex".

The trim is coming off on my vehicle and before it comes off while driving and impacting another vehicle like someone else has reported on a community board I took it in to be replaced. I drive a lot but I'm lucky I'm still under 36k but this will only address the 2 pieces that are currently coming off. My concern is after 36k the rest will fall off and while driving so not only will it not be covered but it could impact other drivers if it flies off while driving.
