| Description of the problem | While driving on a city street i heard a large noise that sounded like a gun shot. I pulled over to look at the car to see if it had been shot. I saw nothing out of the ordinary. It was approximately 0-15 degrees f at the time. Later while looking out my second story window i noticed a spot that appeared to be thawed out on the roof of my car. Upon further inspection i noticed the sunroof had been shattered. There was a large hole in the center of the sunroof. It was a good thing that my interior sunroof shade was closed at the time the sunroof exploded otherwise i may have lost control of the vehicle and crashed. The car is brand new and i have had it for less than 6 months. |
