Consumer Description

WE WERE RIDING ALONG AT LESS THAN 40MPH, AND WITH NO WARNING, THERE WAS A SUDDEN, LOUD, EXPLOSION NOISE ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR. WE PULLED OVER TO DISCOVER THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD NEAR US AT THE TIME, AND THERE IS NOTHING ABOVE TO SEND ANYTHING DOWN. WE ARE POSITIVE THAT NOTHING HIT OUR ROOF. IF THE INTERNAL COVER HAD NOT BEEN CLOSED ONE OF THE 3 OF US COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND THIS INCIDENT VERY NEARLY COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SUBARU REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT IS VERY CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.
