What owners report
IT ALL STARTED WITH A SMALL VIBRATION THAT FELT LIKE A WHEEL NEEDING BALANCING. THIS SYSTEM HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY AND FOR SHORT DURATIONS OVER THE COURSE OF A COUPLE OF WEEKS. THEN THE VIBRATION STARTED TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN, FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME AND WITH MORE INTENSITY SUCH TO BECOME A SHUTTERING THAT WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. WHEN THE SHUTTERING SUDDENLY BECAME VERY SEVERE, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AT THIS TIME I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 45 TO 50 MPH. I MANAGED TO PULLED THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHERE I OBSERVED AND WATCHED SMOKE COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DISC BRAKES. IT APPEARED, THE BRAKE HAD TRIED TO LOCK UP.
ON MARCH 4, 2019 WHILE DRIVING THROUGH JEFFERSON CITY DOING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD EXPLOSION. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE CAR ONLY TO FIND MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. A LARGE HOLE WAS IN THE SUNROOF WITH GLASS DEBRIS ON THE OOF. LUCKILY THE EXPLOSION WAS OUTWARD AND NOT INWARD INTO THE CAR. I TOOK PICTURES WHICH SHOWS THE DAMAGE AND THE GLASS THAT WAS LEFT ON THE ROOF. I SUSPECT THE REMAINING GLASS BLEW UP AND TOWARD THE BACK OF THE CAR.
MY CAR WAS ISSUED A RECALL NUMBER 16V-527 IN JULY. AFTER MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AFTER IT SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FWY DUE TO THE HYBRID SYSTEM. THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE RECALL WORK DUE TO THE LACK OF PARTS, EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL APPEARS TO RELATE DIRECTLY TO THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH THE CAR.
