| Description of the problem | I was driving on a free way during rush hour when i heard an explosion. I pulled over and discovered the moon roof to the car had shattered and created a vertical protrusion from the window. The temperature that afternoon was 109 and i had driven from an altitude of 7,000 feet to 1,200 feet. There was also a significant drop in temperature from the higher elevation. A highway patrol officer stopped to offer assistance and noted he had worked in dealership and the problem was common. After having the car towed to the dealership where i had purchased it less than a week earlier, the service representative said a rock had hit the car and i should contact my insurance company. The service rep informed me it was it was not a warranty issue without examining the car. I shared what the dps officer said and the service rep just shook his head. The car is a preowned certified vehicle. |
