| Description of the problem | While driving at a slow rate of speed approaching an intersection where traffic was stopped, the sunroof exploded without anything hitting it from the outside or inside, the glass exploded outwards for no reason. We proceeded to the dealership where we purchased the vehicle and found they refused to cover the repair. We had to use our insurance for the repair costs and are out $500. Deductible for what we feel is a safety related defect from the manufacturer. If this had happened at freeway speed it most likely would have caused an accident as the noise level when it occurred was extremely loud. |
