Wiper problem #1

The sunroof spontaneously exploded outward on the highway, no possibility of road debris hitting it as no other cars were nearby, and I was not close to an overpass. I believe temperature fluctuation causes it, as I was recently in below-freezing weather (f). On the day of the explosion I drove south starting at f driving to f.

Wiper problem #2

Semi-circular stress fracture in windshield occurred on its own at some point after driving it. No impact at all. Fracture starts from driver's side upper corner down towards driver's viewing area and then curves upward.

Wiper problem #3

Windscreen wiper motors failed during inclement weather making visibility impossible. The vehicle was only approximately 2 years old at the time of failure. This created a serious safety issue and may have led to a crash and injury. The dealer diagnosed the issue as failed wiper motors and replaced the motors under manufacturer's warranty.
