While driving on the highway with my children in the car. My sunroof suddenly exploded. The sound was so loud, glass was everywhere. I wasn’t driving through construction, I wasn’t driving under a bridge, there was typical morning traffic which is on the lighter side. I was driving around 55 mph with the front defrost button and seat warmers on. Temperature was set 66 degrees in the car. This was so scary. My children who are [XXX] and [XXX] were so scared.

At approximately 48,000 miles, my vehicle displayed a "Blind Spot Sensor(s) Malfunction" warning message on the dashboard without any prior warnings or symptoms.

They returned the car to me and said they did not hear it. Then after my warranty ended it got worse and when I brought it back to the dealership they stated they had never heard of this happening before and said that I brought my car for an air-conditioning issue. When identified that a service manager had told me that this is something they’re saying they then agreed to pay

At 44,000 miles, a loud whirring noise started to occur that is due to the failing of the internal LED cooling fan in my left headlamp. I cannot use my headlights, which is a safety concern.
