NHTSA Complaint #10969594 — 2013 AUDI A5

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN THE FREEWAY IN SACRAMETO GOING TO ARDEN MALL AND AS I WAS EXITING GOING ABOUT 30 MPH OFF THE RAMP I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG SOUND AND AS I LOOKED UP I NOTICED MY SUN ROOF (IN THE CLOSED POSITION) WAS CRACKED WITH THE MIDDLE OF THE GLASS WARPING IN AND EVENTUALLY SHATTERED FALLING ALL OVER ME AND THE INTERIOR AS I KEPT DRIVING. I'VE HEARD OF THE A8 AND Q5 MODELS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES (AND ACTUALLY BEING RECALLED ONE YEAR) SO THIS OUT A THOUGHT IN MY HEAD. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE THERE WERE MANY AUDI VEHICLES WITH VARIOUS MODELS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS ME.. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM OF THIS INCIDENT AND THEY STATED IT WAS MOST LIKELY A ROCK WHICH I SAID CAN'T BE POSSIBLE AS THERE WAS NOBODY NEAR THE AREA I WAS IN. ALL IN ALL THEY SAID THIS WOULD HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET AS IT IS NOT COVERED IN MY MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AS I DID NOTHING WRONG BUT DRIVE THE CAR. AND SEEMS AS IF MANY OTHER AUDI DRIVERS HAD SIMILAR ISSUES SO IT SEEMS TO BE TO BE A DEFECTIVE GLASS.
