Consumer Description

SHATTERING OR EXPLODING SUNROOFS ON BMW VEHICLES. UPON DOING MY ON-LINE RESEARCH, IT HAS BECOME APPARENT THAT ON SEVERAL MODELS OF BMW VEHICLES, INCLUDING THE X-5, A LARGE NUMBER OF SUNROOFS HAVE SHATTERED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN. IN THE CASE OF THE VEHICLE OWNED BY MY FIRM, THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED, THERE WERE NO CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE NOR ANY OVERPASSES WITHIN MILES OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SHATTERED. IN THIS INSTANCE, THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICER BEHIND THE VEHICLE WHO WITNESSED THE SCENE AND RENDERED ASSISTANCE TO THE DRIVER. DESPITE THE ABUNDANCE OF GLASS IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE, NO ONE WAS PHYSICALLY INJURED BY THE FLYING GLASS. *TR
