| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway at 70 mph, the panoramic sunroof on the vehicle spontaneously shattered with a loud sound, and glass came showering into the cabin. The vehicle immediately behind me witnessed the event and some of the glass hit his vehicle at high speed. We both pulled to the shoulder and exchanged contact information. He witnessed that no object hit my sunroof, it simply shattered. |
