2 Side/rear Glass problem of the 2005 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 10/19/2008

To NHTSA: I am filing a complaint against Nissan car dealership of shaker heights. On October 19th, 2008, I was driving my 2005 Nissan Maxima se on the highway along a straightaway when my skylight moon roof suddenly implode. It was a loud burst causing small microscopic glass particles to scatter throughout my interior. The glass cut my arm and flew in my hair. I believe it may have been due to the slightest possible twisting or torque of the frame bending with the road. The 2004 model of my vehicle recently had a recall due to this exact issue. My vehicle was manufacture in Jan. 2005, I suspect that it was made under the same parameters as the 2004 model. I believe that my vehicle should be covered as well due to the same issue. I have been without transportation since the date of the incident.

There is an air leak in the rear driver side window. I am worried this is going to consistently get worse and have my window shatter at some point. After reading another complaint of the same problem I felt compelled to file one of my own. I reported this to my dealer and they have not looked into the problem. While in for service, another customer was compalining of the same problem. Every person that sits in the back seat notices a very distinct air leak in this window.
