Your panoramic moonroof has shattered without any impact or warning, creating flying glass that poses a serious safety risk. This is the second time this has happened to your vehicle—once in October 2022 and again in July 2025. Replacing the moonroof assembly will likely be necessary to resolve this recurring issue.

The panoramic sunroof on our vehicle unexplainably shattered. We just purchased this vehicle less than 5 days prior to this occurring. It happened while it was parked in the drive way. Our vehicle is available for inspection, however it is at the dealership waiting a decision from Nissan engineering on whether or not they will cover the issue. The main safety risk is that this problem could have occurred while the vehicle was being operated and injured passangers. The problem of the sunroof being shattered has been confirmed by Nissan dealership. We are still waiting for their engineers to confirm whether or not they will cover the issue. There were no issues or warnings regarding this issue.
