I WENT OUTSIDE TO START MY CAR TO WARM IT UP, I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND THIS HAPPENED DURING WINTER SO IT WAS BETWEEN 15-25 DEGREES THAT NIGHT. I CLOSED THE DOOR AFTER I GOT OUT OF MY STATIONARY VEHICLE, AND THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. I DID NOT CLOSE IT HARD, I DO NOT SLAM MY CAR DOORS. THERE WAS NO CHIPS OR CRACKS IN THE SUNROOF PREVIOUS TO IT SHATTERING. I READ ONLINE ABOUT NISSAN HAVING A RECALL FOR THEIR SUNROOFS IN ANOTHER VEHICLE, SOMETHING ABOUT FAULTY GLASS TEMPERMENT AND/OR THEY USED A THINNER GLASS TO SAVE MONEY.
