2011 Nissan Juke Visibility Problems

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT AND GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE INSIDE AND OUT OF CAR. NO ROAD HAZARD OR DEBRIS NOTED TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE. NO WEATHER ISSUES PRESENT. IT WAS A CLEAR DAY APPROXIMATELY 78 DEGREES F. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AT TIME OF INCIDENT. IT WAS EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND CAUSED CONFUSION WHILE TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. THIS WAS A 4 LANE HIGHWAY WITH TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC EACH WAY WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN IMPACTED WOULD I HAVE SWERVED OR OTHERWISE REACTED TO THE SOUND OR RAINING GLASS SHARDS. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL TURN ON BY THEMSELVES, RUN HIGH SPEED FOR APPROX. 30 SECONDS, STOP (WITH WIPERS IN ACTIVE POSITION - OFTEN BLOCKING VISION) PAUSE FOR APPROX. 10-60 SECONDS AND RESTART. THIS HAS BEEN NON-STOP FOR THE LAST 2 DAYS. I CANNOT CONTROL THE SPEED OR TURN THEM ON/OFF. I'VE READ OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAVE HAD THE SAME MALFUNCTION.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE WINDSHIELD MADE A SQUEAKING AND RATTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING AND GOING OVER BUMPS. IT WAS ALMOST A CONSTANT SOUND. THE ENGINE WOULD IDLE AND SPUTTER, WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE CONSUMER ACCELERATED FROM THE LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. IT WAS DETERMINED THE TIMING CHAIN SNAPPED AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE CRANK SPROCKET AND CHAIN. THE TIMES CHAINS, GUIDES, TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER AND CRANK SPROCKET WERE ALL REPLACED. THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT MIS-FIRED DUE TO THE VALVES BEING BENT. THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS THEN REPLACED, DUE TO DAMAGE TO THE VALVE GUIDES AND PISTON TOPS. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TO TOWED TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS EMITTING BLUE GRAYISH, COLORED SMOKE, AND THEN STALLED. UPDATED 06/18/14

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WIPERS - ALL VISIBILITY - PURCHASED CAR NEW 10/22/2011 - BUT IT WAS AROUND 10/28/2011 THAT I NOTICED SCRATCHES IN WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW - YES IT IS BAD ENOUGH THAT WHEN THE SUN HITS THE AREAS IN THE RIGHT SPOT IT IS BLINDING. DEALERSHIP HAS CONTINUALLY GIVEN ME THE RUN AROUND. PLEASE IF YOUR SEE MY VIN WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT - HEAD ON - DRIVER SIDE IMPACT - PLEASE MAKE SURE THE WINDSHIELD AND DRIVER SIDE WINDOW ARE LOOKED AT THOROUGHLY. I HAVE SENT THIS REQUEST TO MY FATHER AS WELL. YOU WILL ALSO BE RECEIVING A COPY OF THE LETTER THAT IS BEING TO SENT TO NISSAN CORP OFFICE AND NJ BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THIS WAY, SCRATCHES WHERE NOT NOTICEABLE AT TIME OF PICK UP, AND AT THIS TIME SINCE MY IOU OR WE OWE YOU SHOWS THAT THERE IS NOTHING MENTIONED ABOUT THIS - REPORTED ISSUE TO DEALER BACK 11/11 - HAD SERVICE MANAGER AND SALES PERSON LOOK AT ISSUES AND AS OF TODAY STILL CHASING ME TAIL. THIS WAS ALSO MENTIONED AT FIRST OIL CHANGE, OIL CHANGE, RECALL, TIRE ROTATION VISIT, TOOK CAR TO DEALER TODAY TO SPEAK WITH NEW GENERAL MANAGER SO TODAY WOULD MAKE 6TH TIME I HAVE ASKED TO COME SORT OF RESOLUTION - I WAS TOLD TO REPORT TO MY INSURANCE - AND THEY WOULD SPLIT MY DEDUCTIBLE WITH ME TO REPAIR - REPLACE.
