Consumer Description

I DROVE FROM MY GARAGE TO THE HIGHWAY (ABOUT 5 MINUTES) I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY AND GAINED SPEED UP TO ABOUT 55 MPH, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT ONE OR TWO MINUTES WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND THE SUNROOF IN MY CAR HAD BLOWN OUT. THERE WAS NOT TRAFFIC IN MY LOCAL HIGHWAY SINCE IT WAS ABOUT 1:30PM CST. THE SLIDING COVER IN THE SUNROOF WAS OPEN TO LET LIGHT IN AND I WAS SHOWERED WITH BROKEN GLASS, I PULLED OVER AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY, STOPPED LOOKED AT THE DAMAGE AND IT LOOKS LIKE IF THE SUNROOF HAD EXPLODE OUT, LIKE CAUSED BY INSIDE PRESSURE BLOWING IT OUT. I WAS LUCKY NO ELSE WAS WITH ME OR THE HIGHWAY HAD MORE TRAFFIC OR I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED BMW BUT THEY DENY THAT THERE ARE ANY DEFECTS WITH THE SUNROOF, THEY SAY IT WAS MOST LIKELY A ROCK. THERE ARE NO OBJECT INSIDE MY CAR AND ROCKS TRAVEL SIDEWAYS NOT COME FROM THE TOP. PLEASE, PLEASE HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED, BESIDES THE COST IS THE HIGHER CHANCE OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
