| Description of the problem | The vehicle was in motion on a highway with my panoramic moonroof open completely. I was traveling in a safe speed, no speed bumps or pot holes, no underpasses, and no traffic when suddenly my moonroof glass popped and shattered everywhere. Next thing i know, i am getting a face full of glass and my entire back seat is covered in glass. I have sustained micro scratches from the broken glass all over my car and it was undriveable as i feared all the glass continuing to fly in my face. Thank god i was alone. I have done my research and realized that this is a recognizable safety concern with my vehicle make and model around the world, but audi will not recognize as a safety recall issue. I'm just glad my moonroof was not closed and above my head as i probably could have been badly cut and thank god i had no passengers like i normally do and prevented those injuries as well. My car is now sitting covered in glass as if i was in a horrendous car accident waiting for the manufacture to repair the issue. |
