Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THIS MORNING I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE AND THEN MY SUNROOF SHATTERED. IT WAS THE BACK PORTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF AND IT COMPLETELY SHATTERED. SOME SMALL GLASS PARTICLES FELL INTO THE CAR, BUT MOST OF THE GLASS STAYED ATTACHED. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED HWY PATROL THINKING SOMEONE MUST HAVE THROWN SOMETHING AT MY CAR. I WAS NOT CLOSE TO ANY OTHER VEHICLES. MAYBE IT WAS ALREADY COMPROMISED BY A ROCK CHIP OR SOMETHING?? THANK GOODNESS MY BABY WAS NOT WITH ME AS HER CAR SEAT IS DIRECTLY BELOW THE SUNROOF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WILL COST $2300 TO FIX. I AM NOW IN A RENTAL FOR 4-5 DAYS WHILE IT IS REPAIRED. *TR
