2014 Dodge Durango Wipers & Visibility Problems

The moonroof of the car spontaneously exploded as we were driving down the interstate. There was no incident that caused this...nothing struck our car, we did not go over any bumps or anything like that. There was a very loud explosion sound and the glass shattered into hundreds of pieces. Thank god we had the sunshade closed at the time. Our children were riding in the second row and would have had glass fly at them at 75 miles an hour. It was an incredibly scary incident. We looked this up and it seems to be a known problem with many cars with moonroofs, yet no one seems to be doing anything about it. This glass needs to be tempered like the windshield! We are in the process of getting it repaired at the dealership yet. They are not taking any responsibility for it being a defect and are charging us the full amount to have it replaced. $1600. I

THE WINDOW COWL HAS DETERIORATED AND CAUSING LOTS OF ROAD NOISE- IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE BUT JUST NOW FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS SURROUNDING THIS- IF THIS ULTIMATELY FAILS IT CAN CAUSE LEAKAGE TO THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER OR OTHER DAMAGE FROM WATER.

THE COWLING ON THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN WARPED SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE DURANGO IN 12/2013. WHILE DRIVING ABOVE 65 MPH OR IN WINDY CONDITIONS, A BUZZING SOUND CAN BE HEARD. FROM A WEB SEARCH, MANY OTHERS REPORT THE SAME ISSUE, AND ALSO REPORT THAT DEALERSHIPS SAY THAT DODGE KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE WILL REPORTEDLY FLOOD THE ENGINE WITH WATER IN HEAVY RAIN, BUT THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME.

THE COWL HAS WARPED ALLOWING RAIN WATER TO LEAKE INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. AND UNDER WINDSHIELD. AND WHILE DRIVING AIR GETTING UNDER WINDSHIELD IS CREATING A BUZZING NOISE. WHILE I WAS AT DODGE I NOTICED ON THE NEWER MODEL DODGE DURANGO THEY HAVE REDESIGNED THE COWL. I HAVE TALKED WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE THEY HAVE OPENED UP A CASE. (CASR NUMBER 64813561)
