Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY ABOUT 7:30AM ON MY WAY TO WORK, BEAUTIFUL DAY PROBABLY ABOUT 60 DEGREES AT THE TIME. MY SUNROOF LITERALLY EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT BLAST. IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME, I AM LUCKY I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. NOTHING HIT MY CAR THAT IS WHY I THOUGHT THIS WAS REALLY STRANGE. I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. I WENT ON LINE AND WHAT DO I FINE? THIS HAS HAPPENED QUIT A BIT. I AM NOW WAITING ON KIA'S ENGINEERS TO LET ME KNOW IF KIA IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE DAMAGES. MY CAR ISN'T EVEN A YEAR OLD. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE NOW, WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN? I NEED SOME HELP IN GETTING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE RESOLVED. *TR
