NHTSA Complaint #11098474 — 2014 AUDI Q5

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY PANORAMIC MOONROOF OPEN COMPLETELY. I WAS TRAVELING IN A SAFE SPEED, NO SPEED BUMPS OR POT HOLES, NO UNDERPASSES, AND NO TRAFFIC WHEN SUDDENLY MY MOONROOF GLASS POPPED AND SHATTERED EVERYWHERE. NEXT THING I KNOW, I AM GETTING A FACE FULL OF GLASS AND MY ENTIRE BACK SEAT IS COVERED IN GLASS. I HAVE SUSTAINED MICRO SCRATCHES FROM THE BROKEN GLASS ALL OVER MY CAR AND IT WAS UNDRIVEABLE AS I FEARED ALL THE GLASS CONTINUING TO FLY IN MY FACE. THANK GOD I WAS ALONE. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND REALIZED THAT THIS IS A RECOGNIZABLE SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL AROUND THE WORLD, BUT AUDI WILL NOT RECOGNIZE AS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. I'M JUST GLAD MY MOONROOF WAS NOT CLOSED AND ABOVE MY HEAD AS I PROBABLY COULD HAVE BEEN BADLY CUT AND THANK GOD I HAD NO PASSENGERS LIKE I NORMALLY DO AND PREVENTED THOSE INJURIES AS WELL. MY CAR IS NOW SITTING COVERED IN GLASS AS IF I WAS IN A HORRENDOUS CAR ACCIDENT WAITING FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE.
