| Description of the problem | I was on my way into work driving down the highway and out of no where a hear this very loud explosion like a gun going off and thought someone had shot me. I then felt things falling on my head and lap, so i pulled over to the shoulder of the highway and turned the inside light on and saw shattered glass and then looked up and my sunroof was gone. I drove to the dealership and got out of my car and i could see with the glass remaining on the back part of the sunroof that the piece of glass was going outward, just like if something blew up. This could have caused me to be injured or have a accident. Please look into this matter before someone really gets hurt. |
