| Description of the problem | I was driving straight on the highway at about 65 mph on 12/13/19 when i heard an explosion, and suddenly glass was raining down on me. Thankfully my newborn was not in the backseat at the time! My sunroof was shattered; i didn't see any debris hit my car prior to this happening. There were no vehicles close enough to me to flip up rocks or other debris. It seems my sunroof exploded on it's own, for no apparent reason and without warning. There is no item inside my vehicle to indicate something came through the sunroof and landed in my car. No damage to any other portion of the exterior of the vehicle. There is a large hole in the sunroof; the remaining glass is shattered and there are glass shards littered throughout the cabin of my vehicle. |
