Water intrusion via gps antenna defect into driver cabin above driver at visor attachment. Loss of gps, onstar and antenna functions. This occurred following heavy rain storms.

Vehicle was traveling on I-55 South between the gluckstadt and madison exits around 5:45pm on 12/21/18 when the sunroof exploded sending chards of glass throughout the entire vehicle. There were no other vehicles close by an no overpasses within 2 miles of where the glass failure occurred. This is a very serious safety concern that Chevrolet needs to be aware of. The sunroof glass was in perfect condition and nothing hit the glass to cause the explosion. I have photos of the damage clearly showing that the glass blew out from the inside of the vehicle, further supporting the fact that this was a factory defect.

The design of the back passenger doors is dangerous because the shape of the door is in a point and not rounded, it is not covered in plastic or rubber. My 3 year old daughter got out of the vehicle over the weekend and started to run towards the sidewalk and struck her forehead on the pointed end of the door causing a deep gash that bleed profusely.... she had to be taken to the er for suturing. Very poor design for a vehicle that is typically purchased by families with kids.
