| Description of the problem | The "panoramic sunroof" (the sliding portion) suddenly exploded after midnight on an interstate highway at 75 mph - scaring me into swerving and nearly wrecking the car. If the sunshade had not been closed the glass would have been in our eyes and face. Photo was a gas station 10 minutes later. |
