Sunroof glass shattered on I-5 south approx 1215pm just before the Nisqually exit. We looked for cause of the incident but could not find debris/rocks that could've been the cause. Also, there wasn't much glass inside the car, the remnants puckered upwards. The glass shatter seemed to come out of the blue; weather was grey but no rain or sprinkles at the time. We pulled over at the next exit which was Nisqually to look at the damage and to tape up the car.

I filed and submitted my paragraph yesterday and have not heard a word. My son was in the back seat when it happened and he is extremely traumatized in getting back into a vehicle. My car was purchased in 2023 and it is a 2024 and is non drivable due to the engine explosion while driving in 14 degree weather on a two lane high way with my 6 and 7 year old in the back seat. My engine exploded and I no longer have my brand new car I was once so happy about. I hope this is reviewed and someone takes this seriously. I didnt have my brand new car for even 2 years and now I am just out of an option. My car is at the dealer ship and im praying I get good will out of this. I cpuld have been hit on the high way, traffic on coming while I had to merge off the highway as lastly as I could when I felt the explosion.

On December 3rd I contacted roberts-Robertson Chevrolet in Excelsior springs where I purchased my brand new 2024 buick envista. I told them my engine light is on, we scheduled service for 4 days later, the engine light shut off, i contacted them on the 13th telling them it is back on and now i am concerned if it is safe, while speaking to the representative will not share her name, until I am contacted, the service representative, I asked her yestersay at 1 pm cst over the phone if I was safe to be driving my kids to places with the engine light back on or should we be worried. She exact words stated your safe to keep driving, she said if anything. It might not start right away after driving and turning it off. But thats the most it will do. Not even two hours later, im driving my car and its 14 degrees, the car shakes, and I get an emergency shut off immediately nowessage on the screen. As soon as I got pulled over, the place it happened, all my oil just rapidly leaked out. I was told by my someone who works there to light a fire to my car so if the dealership doesnt stand behind it. At least id have an insurance claim. I clearly did not listen to that illegal advice. I am beyond upset. My kids are scared to death when it comes to getting back in the car. I had to pay 200 dollars to get it towed. And now im car less. It is our only car. I am stuck in a situation right before the holidays and I feel [XXX]. I feel complete dealership neglect when it comes to her reassuring my car was okay to drive when she didnt know what the safety risk was. My name is [XXX], I havent had the car for even two years. And its at 6 1 or 62 thousand miles. Im praying for good will or that they are able to fix this and allow me a rental car. I have been stressed to the max. I've spoke to 8005217300 the company who towed us and they told me some [XXX]. I just feel like this is a major safety and major concern issue. My car is garage parked. There was no sign leaks.

Needed to jack up the car to change the tire. There is a Jack included with the car. Upon using it in the correct spot in accordance with the owners manual, the Jack began to significantly bend while trying to raise the car to change the tire! It looked so unsafe that we abandoned the tire change. If I were on the side of the road, trying to use this, it could be deadly.

To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the safety and reliability of my leased vehicle. I have been experiencing ongoing issues that pose a serious safety risk. Approximately two months into my lease, I began experiencing electrical problems with the vehicle. The most concerning issue is the car's tendency to shut down unexpectedly while driving, which has escalated over time. Each incident has resulted in significant concern for my safety and that of my passengers, as well as for other drivers on the road. I visited the dealership to report the problem and get the car serviced but I was unfortunately met with unprofessional behavior, and was asked to leave the dealership without resolution. Despite my repeated attempts to address the ongoing issues, I have been unable to find a suitable solution. Additionally, the lack of available loaner vehicles has made it increasingly difficult to have the vehicle serviced. Driving a vehicle that is prone to unexpected shutdowns is not only inconvenient but poses a significant safety hazard. I am deeply concerned that continued use of this vehicle may lead to an accident, endangering myself, my family, and others on the road. Given the seriousness of these safety issues, I am formally requesting an investigation into these matters. I believe it is essential for this situation to be addressed promptly to ensure that necessary measures are taken to prevent accidents and protect consumers. Please let me know if further information is required to support my complaint. I appreciate your attention to this serious matter and look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
