| Description of the problem | I had just entered the highway and less than a half a mile from entering the highway my sunroof exploded. There were no cars near me and no debris near my car. I contacted mercedes benz and they seem very unconcerned. When this occurred glass went everywhere, all over me and both the front and back sets. I was driving at a speed of 60 miles and hour. After gaining control of the car i got out and called the police and my insurance company. This was a terrifying experience. |
