| Description of the problem | Moon roof glass shattered without apparent cause, while driving on interstate highway at speed limit in good weather and in an area without traffic, overpasses, trees or other known hazards to glass. Thought at first that i was mysteriously hit by another vehicle from nowhere, based on the loud noise when the glass broke. Fortunately, i was not in heavy traffic, where i may have taken evasive action to avoid another apparent collision. Dealer said the needed repairs were not covered, so i had the work completed by a local glass shop for $325 (receipt in my files). |
