Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While traveling 60 mph on the expressway on a clear day, no construction, no trucks in sight, not going under an overpass - my sunroof suddenly explodes! the sunroof had only been partially open, and the interior slide was only opened just slightly. this was lucky, otherwise i would have been showered with glass. even though it scared the heck out of me, i was able to keep my vehicle under control. i have researched window explosions on eclipses and found that i am not the only one this has happened to. what can i do and can i get the dealership to repair due to defect?*ak |
