Unknown, but based on what I've read and seen others describe happen to them I would say it's somehow connected to the park assist.

I was driving at around 15 mph down a dark road when I heard a loud pop and it sounded like something hit the top of my car. I then heard crackling above me so I opened the visor to the sunroof and saw it was completely shattered so I closed the visor right before the glass started falling down. I did not report to police or insurance. I can't afford an expensive fix like this. I know for a fact no debris hit me and there couldn't have been a build up of cabin pressure because my driver's side window was down when...

Seatbelts have failed, malfunctioned on separate occasions throughout the years. Inspection of my vehicle is welcome for study on the seatbelts. On arrival to destinations, seatbelt or seatbelts will lock, and unable to release from the the button-press mechanism. Myself or passenger will then need to climb out of the belt from the bottom or top of restraint. Another note for safety hazards is the struggle to get back into the contraption isn't time worthy- traveling from destinations sitting over top of...

My 300 has a glitch that causes me to put in neutral then back in drive I'm guessing because of a limp mode, I've had it worked on many times at the dealer in the 3 years I've owned it and spent thousands of dollars and not fix the problem.
