4/6/2018 WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 44 DRIVING AT 65 MPH TRAVELING EAST TOWARD ST LOUIS MO OUR SUNROOF EXPLODED. SOUNDED LIKE A BLOWN TIRE. THE SUNSHADE WAS CLOSED AND MOST OF THE GLASS BLEW OUTWARD. VERY LITTLE GLASS WAS LEFT. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE SUNROOF TO EXPLODE. UNKNOWN REASON. WE WERE NOT DRIVING UNDER AN OVERPASS. IT JUST EXPLODED. WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE THE SUNSHADE CLOSED AND LUCKY THAT THE FLYING GLASS DID NOT HURT OR HIT THE CARS BEHIND US. I KEEP MY COOL DURING PROBLEMS. I JUST SLOWED DOWN AND PULLED OVER ABOUT A MILE LATER. HOWEVER, I COULD SEE HOW IT MIGHT STARTLE SOME PEOPLE INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS 18 MONTHS OLD WITH 27,XXX MILES. I BABY MY CHARGER SRT AND AGAIN, THERE WAS NO REASON. IT IS THE CAR COMPANY'S STAND THAT THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON GLASS. OUR INSURANCE IS PAYING FOR IT, BUT WE ARE OUT THE DEDUCTIBLE OF $250. AND, WHEN I STARTED THIS REPORT I HAD TO CLICK ON THE AREA SUCH AS TIRES, ENGINE ECT. THERE IS NOT AN ICON THAT SAYS SUNROOF. I HAD TO CLICK "OTHER". YOU NEED AN ICON FOR SUNROOF... I DO HAVE PICTURES. IT IS JUST A SUNROOF WITH A LITTLE GLASS AROUND THE EDGE STILL ATTACHED.

STRONG SMELL OF RAW FUEL AFTER CAR WAS DELIVERED ON MARCH 4, 2016. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH HAS NOT YET BEEN RECTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP AS OF MARCH 17, 2016. WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, YOU CAN SMELL FUEL (RAW GAS). IT ACTUALLY WAS COMING IN TO THE CABIN VIA THE FRESH AIR VENTS ON THE DASH. IT'S WORSE WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED OR AT A STOP LIGHT. I DETECTED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A LOOSE FUEL LINE BUT DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET STATED WHETHER THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED A FUEL RAIL BUT FUEL SMELL DID NOT GO AWAY. THIS WAS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD.

3/17/2016

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT WILL RESTART BUT IMMEDIATELY STALL AGAIN CAUSING ME TO RESTART IT AGAIN. IT WILL DO SO 5 TO 10 TIMES BEFORE RUNNING NORMALLY AGAIN. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER AT WHAT SPEED BUT MOSTLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS. I HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN LANES ON THE FREEWAY AND IT COULD LEAD TO A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ESPECIALLY HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THIS CAR HAS BEEN BABIED AND HAS LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON IT.
