Description of the problem	I pulled my 2015 tiguan out of my garage and backed out of my driveway. I started to drive but there was a stopped school bus a block ahead of me with cars stopped behind it. I drove about 20 feet at no more than 5 mph and stopped behind the line of cars ahead of me. Suddenly i heard a loud explosion and tiny white shards of glass were covering me and the entire cabin. I looked up and saw my sunroof had exploded and bubbled up. I turned my car around to return home and chunks of glass started to fall on me. When i was safely back in my driveway i called my vw dealership (platinum vw) and site unseen the receptionist told me a rock hit my car. I told her no rock hit my car, i was behind a line of stopped cars. She transferred me to a service associate who also, site unseen, insisted a rock hit my car. Again i protested and was told to bring in the car. Before i could drive it, i had to remove as much of the glass as possible by breaking it off with the back of a spatula. I then drove to the dealership. They took my car and refused to loan me a car and told me i had to pay for a rental car and all repairs because vw is not responsible. I repeated my story to the dealership and they took photos of the remaining glass. They called the next morning to inform me that they have "evidence" of an impact of a rock. This is a lie. No rock hit the car. I, personally, had to "impact" the remaining shattered glass to remove as much as possible so i could drive it to the dealership without more falling on me. They refuse to covered this under warranty and insist i put a claim into my insurance because it is not a manufacturing defect. It is a manufacturing defect. Nothing hit my car. My car was stopped behind a line of other cars behind a stopped school bus. There was no flying debris. Vw must take responsibility for this as they are with other models like audi a3, a5 and beetles.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
