I was driving on I-15 north bound about 06:30pm near the city of escondido CA. Weather temperature 78°f incident: sunroof spontaneously exploded shattering glass. Sunshade visor was closed between vehicles passenger compartment and sunroof.
I brought the vehicle used in 2008, after driving for a week or 2 I notice the tires were loosing air. I am constantly filling the tires with air every 2 to 3 days. I have taken this vehicle to the dealer and 2 other shops for a diagnosis and they said it was the tires, I replaced the tires and I still have this issue, so I know its more than the tires (its probably the wheel element damaged or something). The light tire lights turns on constantly and on several instances the car would shake heavily. Most of the shaking is experienced when driving on the highway. This issue is so bad, I barely ride the vehicle and when I do, I do not take it far due to the air pressure issue.
I have been having problems with the braking system for the last 2 years. When I excelerate the brake light comes on. I checked fluid and everything. I drove it again and had to make not even a sudden stop and the pedal went to the floor board and almost did not stop. I have read all over that there are problems with the same thing on this same model car. Not sure why there is no recall on it yet. I have two small young children and am afraid I one day will not be able to stop. When you press on the brakes there is an air or whistle sound coming from them. The pads and rotors are good and the car is a 2008 with 88,000 miles on it. It has never been hard driven. Not sure what the issue is and if the power brake booster is $139 plus fright charge from out of state and that may or may not be the problem.
