NHTSA Complaint #10910977 — 2007 PONTIAC G6

I WAS ENTERING THE HIGHWAY ON THE ON RAMP, JUST AT THE END OF THE RAMP AND MERGING ON I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT GO OFF AND THEN HAD SHATTERED GLASS FLYING INTO MY FACE. I WAS JUST ABOUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP. I INSPECTED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND FOUND THAT MY SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED ON ME. GLASS WAS EVERYWHERE, INCLUDING ALL OVER ME. WHEN I ENTERED THE HIGHWAY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME, OR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS MERGING, THEREFORE, NO ROCKS COULD HAVE HIT IT. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME. A COUNTY SHERIFF PULLED UP BEHIND ME SHORTLY ON THE SHOULDER. HE STATED HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I BRUSHED THE GLASS OFF OF ME THE BEST I COULD AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE SLOWLY ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 4 WAYS ON TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP, TRYING NOT TO GET A GLASS SHARD IN MY EYE. WHEN AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT IN THE GARBAGE THEY THROW ENGINE BLOCKS ON TOP OF SUNROOFS TO TRY AND SHATTER THEM AND THEY NEVER DO. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND INSURANCE DOESN'T PAY FOR THIS. I HAD TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT OR BE UNABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR IN THE RAIN OR THE SNOWY WINTERS IN WISCONSIN.
