I was driving home from work about 07:30am ct. I was on the interstate and hear a very loud bang and hear glass. I thought someone hit me but didn't feel anything. Looked in my mirrors, cars going by me and realized i was not hit. Then i thought someone shot my car. I continued to hear glass but didn't understand where it was coming from. Very shaken up not understanding what was happening. I pulled off on the next…

Yes, i have a complaint about interlocks, i know the are to designed to save lives of others, but at risking the lives of the drivers that have them, it is unsafe to be driving down the road doing retest, i know a retest is to ensure that the driver of the car has not drank since driving or had someone else blow to start the car, but in my opinion it's hazardous to the driver to be put in this danger of having to…

Ever since the initial instance, it has…

I have a 2009 nissan altima with just over 13000 miles on it. Last week as i was driving to work at about 65 mph i heard what sounded like a shotgun blast over my head. The sunroof glass had shattered (more like exploded) leaving about a 2 foot circular hole in the glass. At first i thought something must have hit me but when i pulled over i could obviously see that the glass was mushroomed out as if it had exploded…
