Rear reverse camera stopped working. Image became grainy, then flickered, then went to a blue screen. Can't see anything behind the vehicle when backing up is a big safety hazard.
On November 2nd of 2023, I was driving approximately 5 miles away from home when all of a sudden the sunroof glass shattered. It sounded like an explosion of glass. I was driving at 45 miles per hour which is the speed limit in the area. It was very alarming when the sunroof glass shattered, I was nervous and thought that someone threw a rock at the car. I wasn't sure whether to stop the car or keep on driving. Thank god there was no traffic, otherwise it would have been a very dangerous situation. I safely pulled over into a gas station to check what had happened. There was nothing other than broken glass on top of the car. The sunroof looks like it had pressure from the bottom up.
On the night of 01/13/2021 I left my SUV parked outside for the first time in 25 decree weather . The next morning at 5am I started my car by remote start to get the ice off the windows . I then drove to work and parked my SUV. When I went to leave at 3pm the rear window was shattering you could even hear it cracking all over it it blew a hole in it ! there was not o piece of the rear window that was not shattered . My SUV was parked with the rear window facing the sun. My SUV has always been kept in my heated garage at night unt the night in question ! I do not know if the heat from the sun caused this to happen do to the window being so cold! but I do know it was parked in a private parking lot with nothing around it ! I would appreciate any input on this matter! thanks.
