| Description of the problem | I was driving on i-82 between selah and yakima at approximately 65 miles per hour. The wind was blowing fairly aggressively outside that day and the temperature was roughly 70 - 75 degrees. While driving my sunroof suddenly exploded. No rock hit the car and i was not driving under an underpass where anyone could have thrown something at my car. The sound was like a gunshot. I sincerely thought i had been shot at. Glass flew every where. My sunroof visor was open so the shards rained down into my car and all over me. I had glass down my neck, in my hair, and even found a piece on my eyelid when i rubbed my eye and cut my eyelid and the skin near my inner eye. There was nothing i was aware of that occurred on the road that day that would have caused the sunroof to break. But it blew out with extreme force. |
