| Description of the problem | I was driving south on us 41 in lake forest il when the sunroof suddenly exploded. The fabric sunscreen was on and prevented the glass from hitting the driver or passengers. There were no bridges in the area. Nothing hit our windshield either. Photos of the damage showed no evidence of rocks or other objects mixed in with the glass fragments. Copies of the photos are available by request. We are concerned the sunroof was defective and is a safety hazard... Updated 10/27/15 *bf updated 11/22/2017*cn |
