2013 LEXUS GS 350 Complaints

AS I WAS DRIVING IN THE EARLY MORNING, I OPENED THE MOONROOF. 5 MINUTES LATER I DECIDED TO CLOSE IT BECAUSE IT GOT COLD FAST IN THE CAR. UPON CLOSING, THE MOONROOF GLASS SELF EXPLODED AS I WAS DRIVING 40-45MPH. THE GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER AND ASSES WHY AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED. NOTHING HIT IT, NOTHING FELL ON IT, ALL I DID WAS OPEN AND CLOSE IT AND IT EXPLODED. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE, I REALIZED I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. I DECIDED TO SUBMIT MY COMPLAINT AS THIS IS A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS ISSUE.

MY AC COMPRESSOR HAS GONE OUT IN THIS CAR, IT IS ON BACKORDER THEY SAY BUT ITS BEEN TWO WEEKS IN ADDITION I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL LEXUS DEALERSHIPS INCLUDING THE MAIN LEXUS COMPANY AND THEY DONT HAVE ANY IN STOCK AND OVER 20+ ON BACK ORDER WHICH CLEARLY INDICATES THERE IS A FAULT IN THEM. I HAVE GONE 2 WEEKS WITH NO AC AND IM IN OKLAHOMA WHERE ITS 90+ DEGREE WEATHER

TODAY WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT 30MPH, MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. UPON STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, I OPENED MY SUNROOF VISOR A LITTLE, AND I OBSERVED MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. IT WAS A LOUD POP, IN COMPARISON TO THE SOUND OF A SHOTGUN.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET. I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 30MPH. I WAS THE ONLY CAR ON THE STREET WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP; IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN. AFTERWARDS, I HEARD A CACKLING SOUND COMING FROM THE TOP OF MY CAR. AS A MADE A COMPLETE STOP AT A RED LIGHT, I MOVED MY VISOR TO MY SUNROOF BACK AND ALL I SAW WAS SHATTERED GLASS. I IMMEDIATELY CLOSED THE VISOR TO MY SUNROOF. IT WAS THE MOST FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. MY SUNROOF EXPLODED AND NOW IT'S SHATTERED TO PIECES. I MADE IT HOME, BUT I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR.
