2014 Mazda CX-5

THE SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING 70-75 MPH AT THE TIME. THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND AND THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT SO I DO NOT THINK ANYTHING HIT THE SUNROOF. I HAD BOTH THE SUNROOF AND INTERIOR COVER CLOSED COMPLETELY AT THE TIME. THE SOUND WHEN IT SHATTERED WAS VERY LOUD AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT IN TRAFFIC. SINCE THE COVER WAS CLOSED, IT PREVENTED THE BROKEN GLASS FROM RAINING DOWN ON MY CHILDREN.

SUNROOF GLASS EXPLOSION SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON AN EMPTY HIGHWAY. INTERNAL SUNROOF COVER SHIELDED ANY DEBRIS. OUTSIDE CONDITIONS: CLOUDY DAY, AROUND 85 DEGREES AND HUMID. RAIN IN FORECAST. OTHER DETAILS: SPEED LIMIT WAS 70 MPH. GLASS SHATTERED AND A PORTION BLEW UP AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE PRESENT. EXTREMELY LOUD BOOM FOLLOWED BY SOUND OF AIR FLOWING INTO VEHICLE (LIKE AN OPEN WINDOW). WHEN OPENING THE COVER TO SEE WHAT IT WAS, PIECES OF GLASS FELL INTO THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY UNDERGOING GETTING REPAIRS UNDER INSURANCE.

SEPT 06, 2016 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER9916H NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V-644 RECALL STATUS RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE VIN: [XXX] COMPLAIN: I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 27-FEB-2017. DEALER HIDE THAT THERE WAS A OPEN SAFETY RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE. I RECENTLY CAME TO KNOW ABOUT THIS. WHEN I TRIED TO CONTACT DEALER (NORTHTOWN AUTO) THEY SAID CONTACT MAZDA DIRECTLY. WHEN I TALKED TO MAZDA THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT MANUFACTURING THESE PARTS ANYMORE, SO THEY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO FIX THIS. IT COULD BE 1 YEAR OR MORE THAN THAT. IT'S BEEN 7MONTH RECALL REPORTED AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PLAN TO FIX IT YET. DURING OUR CONVERSATION I FIGURE OUT THEY ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THEM IT'S NOT A DIRECT THREAD TO LIFE. I SURPRISED THEY DON'T EVEN CARE FOR THIS RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST YOU TO TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE LITTLE CHILDREN IN FAMILY WHO RIDE MY CAR. I DON'T WANT TO COMPROMISE THEIR SAFETY.
