| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving to work at approximately 8:30 in the morning at around 70 mph on hwy 40 in st. louis when my sunroof exploded. the actual sunroof exploded and not the wind deflector. the sunroof was fully closed and the wind deflector was as well. i keep the sunroof cover open most of the time so i get more light into the car and as a result glass rained down into my car. upon inspection, i found that the glass of the sunroof was completely shattered and did not crack like a spider-web, but like someone had set a bomb off on top of it. the wind deflector was undamaged. i contacted my dealer and they were very accusatory and said a rock or other debris must have broken it. i still fail to see how a rock big enough to shatter the glass like it did got by me with me seeing it. if a huge rock was bouncing in the middle of the road, i would have definitely seen it. another thing that made that claim ridiculous was the fact that there were no large trucks or otherwise carrying anything within sight at the time it happened. *nm sunroof glass breakage.pco |
