Spontaneous Sunroof Opening??

Has anyone else had their sunroof open all by itself?

I was driving down the freeway and the roof opened half way... No, I wasn't talking with my hands again and hit the switch. In fact, the switch was in the completely closed position, and I had to move it to completely open and then completely closed position to close the sunroof. Very strange.

Anyhow, it has done it once, and I thought it was strange that it happened at EXACTLY 7500 miles (I looked). Is this Nissan's way of letting me know it's time for service? Anyhow, since I got the hint, I took mine in for it's checkup, and mentioned my problem. Turn's out there's a TSB on the sunroof switch (Yes, I got a copy, and yes, I'll be posting it tomorrow), but I don't think that the TSB really applied to my issue.

Your car is clearly posessed by demons. Take it to your local dealer for an exorcism. I think they run like $79.99 or something....

I'll take one of those $79.99 exorcisms for my fuel filler door. I swear I don't hit the button getting out, but it's happened 6 or 7 times.

I'm about to put Duct Tape over it just to prove it's not me hitting the button as I get out.

Thats strange. I had the service engine soon light come on EXACTLY at 30000 miles. When I took it in I asked if this was programmed to get people in for service. He told me no and it turned out to be a bad 02 sensor in the exhaust.
