Description of the problem | My sunroof exploded spontaneously while driving my vehicle down the interstate. Nothing hit my car or sunroof. It just exploded. I was told that because it was a hot day and that i was running my air conditioner, that glass can "swell and break on its own". The sunroof was closed at the time. It was terrifying, i thought i had been shot. I was covered in glass as was my car. It has since been replaced, but i drive in fear of it happening again. |
