| Description of the problem | Driving down the highway at 5:45 a. M., no cars in sight, i hear a loud noise such as that you would hear from a gunshot. Startled, i pulled to the side of the highway to assess the situation. My sunroof had exploded without cause. It looked as if it was blown out from the inside. Luckily for me, the cover was closed so no glass had fallen inside the cabin. With no cars in sight, i quickly dismissed the idea that it was a rock or road debris. It just randomly exploded without warning. The temperature outside of the vehicle was 46f and the digital climate control was set to 72f. I am very thankful that my two year old son was not in the car as the noise was very loud. |
