Consumer Description

I AM REPORTING MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODING ON MY 2014 KIA SORENTO SXL. I WAS DRIVING ON A VERY SMOOTH INTERSTATE HIGH WAY IN THE MORNING WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND ME. I WAS TRAVELING AT 70MPH AND IT WAS MORNING ABOUT 60 DEGREES. I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH MY WIFE AND HEARD A LOUD SOUND (SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT) AND THEN IT STARTED RAINING DOWN GLASS AROUND ME. AS I STATED, I WAS ON THE ROAD AND THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE AROUND ME. ONCE I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO INSPECT WHAT HAD HAPPENED I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS MOST OF MY SUNROOF INSIDE THE CAR AND THE REST OF THE GLASS THAT REMAINED WAS FACING UPWARD WHICH I THOUGHT WAS ODD. *TR
