| Description of the problem | The sunroof exploded while driving down the highway. No rock was seen before it happened and the glass was curved outward when we stopped to look at it. Fortunately, the visor/cover was below it so the glass shards did not spray into our faces. It sounded like a bomb went off. This is extremely dangerous and we have no option but to have the sunroof replaced. It would be wise to always drive with the sunroof cover over the glass to protect yourself. |
