| Description of the problem | As i was driving on the highway, the sunroof to my car suddenly exploded for no apparent reason. This very easily could have caused me to wreck into another car, as i panicked to move from the far left lane to the far right shoulder. I thought at first that i had hit someone, or someone had hit me. However upon inspection there was nothing wrong with any other part of my car. I can best explain this by asking you to imagine driving down the highway and a huge rock falling on my sunroof. After a pulled over and inspected my broken sunroof there was no rock or anything else to suggest something fell on my roof. |
