Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE ON INTERSTATE DURNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 45MPH MY RADIO WAS OFF WINDOWS WERE UP, MY SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND THE SKYLIGHT COVER WAS IN THE BACK POSITION WHICH I NEVER CLOSE BECAUSE IT GIVES ME MORE HEAD ROOM. I HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB GOING OFF AND SHARDS OF GLASS FLYING ALL THROUGHOUT THE CAR, NOTHING HIT THE ROOF, THE SOUND WAS A SOUND OF EXPLOSION. IN A STATE OF SHOCK THINKING I WAS SHOT OR A ROAD SIDE BOMB WENT OFF I PULLED OVER TO GET THE THE GLASS OUT OF MY HAIR, FACE, AND CLEAN MYSELF UP THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AT THAT POINT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF GLASS INSIDE THE SEATS AND EXPOSED TO WEATHER. THE EXPLOSION OF THE SUNROOF HAS CAUSE CUTS TO MY FACE BACK AND HANDS. THIS IS UNSAFE AND IS A HUGE RISK TO OTHER MOTORIST AND THE DRIVER AND IT'S PASSENGERS.
