Description of the problem	While driving on the highway, i heard a loud noise that, on first impression, led me to believe someone fired a gunshot at and struck my vehicle. Upon looking up, i immediately noticed it was not a gunshot but instead the glass to the front portion of my panoramic sunroof had spontaneously shattered and flew completely off the vehicle. This flying glass flew directly backwards and could have posed a deadly result for the numerous drivers traveling behind me. There were no flying objects or other dangerous instruments that struck the vehicle but the sunroof spontaneously, on its own, shattered and completely detached from the vehicle. Upon subsequent online investigation, i learned this very issue has been experienced by other mercedes benz drivers, with the sunroofs spontaneously shattering and flying off. Despite purchasing a extensive warranty at the time of purchase, body work, inclusive of glass replacement, is not covered. Consequently, i was forced to file an auto insurance claim, which required an immediate $500 deductible to be paid to enable the repair company to order the replacement glass. This reoccurring issue most certainly requires a recall for vehicles containing this problematic sunroof. It is not only a danger to the driver of the vehicle, but also to all others traveling on the road.
