| Description of the problem | While driving to work on 2. 8. 2019, my sunroof violently exploded. I was on interstate 10 in phoenix, az at approximately 5:40 am. No vehicles were in front or beside me. The exterior temperature was below 40 degrees, the heater was on in the car. While driving at approximately 67 miles per hour, down a straight stretch of the highway, i heard a loud bang. The car did not swerve. Inside the car i could now hear more road noise. I opened the sunroof shade enough to slip my fingers through and felt cold air and broken glass. |
