Consumer Description

DEAR SIR/MADAM - I WAS HEADING TO MY OFFICE FROM HOME ON THE HIGHWAY CA-84. WHILE DRIVING TODAY ON THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 50MPH I HEAR SUDDEN LOUD POP UP SOUND FROM THE ROOF, I FELT LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE AND VEHICLE STARTING TO SHAKE. AS I SLOWED DOWN I FELT SOMETHING WRONG WITH SUNROOF. SINCE HIGHWAY LEADS TO THE BRIDGE AND HAS NO EXIT I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. HIGHWAY BECOMES INTERNAL ROAD AFTER 5 MILES. AS I GOT AN OPPORTUNITY I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND GET ABOVE TO CHECK WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. I WAS AMAZED TO SEE SUNROOF GLASS IS BROKEN, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE ENTIRE CASING IS CAVING IN. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS PRIME FOR MY KIDS COMMUTE I'M NOT SURE HOW SAFE THIS VEHICLE IS.
