Failure Date: 12/11/2017

Recently I was traveling on the freeway, not under an overpass and there was no one in front of me. I rolled my window up and shortly after that there was a loud crashing sound of shattering glass, I look in my rearview mirror to see that there were a ton of black specks coming from my car. I cracked the sunroof cover slightly only to find a shower of glass and a hole in my roof where the sunroof used to be. I closed the cover back up so I wouldn't get anymore glass in my cabin or on me, found somewhere to park and inspect my vehicle. I found that the glass had shattered upwards (air pressure maybe???) either way, this should never have happened, I am now terrified of having a sunroof because why wouldn't it shatter again like that? it was one of the single most traumatizing events that have ever happened, I couldn't even imagine what it would have been like if the cover was open! I could have got little glass shards in my eyes and the outcome could have been extremely worse.

The hood on my 2004 Infiniti G35x failed at the hinges. The hood is now elevated above the line of the windshield and will not close. The failure was not due to an accident. The hood was merely opened, and the hinges failed. I am concerned hat the hood will open or fly off at highway speed or be pushed into the interior cabin during an accident. The local dealership and Infiniti refuse to fix the hood under the applicable warranty even though this is an obvious safety issue. My research into this hood issue has uncovered other owners with identical failures.
