| Description of the problem | My sunroof exploded/shattered while i was driving today, traveling at a speed of 45mph on city road after turning a corner. Outside temp was around 85 and inside car was 75. Car has around 6800 miles, and there was nothing that hit the sunroof. Scary situation for the driver! Car is currently under warranty and at the dealer for repair, but they want my insurance to pay. I insist this be investigated because i believe it to be a manufacture defect |
