| Component | VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | I was driving & heard something falling down on my back window - it sounded like ice falling down from the roof. I get to work & park in a parking spot only to realize that my panoramic sunroof has completely shattered! The middle was cracked & sticking up & the rest was shattered in a web effect. When i closed the door the whole thing just fell down. Luckily i had the inside visor of the sunroof closed so it didn't go inside the car. However, what would have happened if it was open & i was driving on the parkway still?? I am sure i would have gotten into an accident. I haven't even had this car for a whole year yet. I bought it on june 30, 2012, brand new. I am very disappointed & concerned that this will happen again in the future. It is currently back at the dealer pending repairs. |
