Consumer Description

MY MOONROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED TODAY (AROUND 5:40PM). I WAS DRIVING OPEN ROAD (CITY, ABOUT 30-35MPH) AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF A ROCK OR OTHER FOREIGN BODY OTHER THAN GLASS IN MY CABIN. THE EDGES OF THE REMAINING GLASS OF THE MOONROOF TILTED UPWARDS. THE NOISE AND GLASS SURPRISED ME AND I DRIFTED INTO THE MEDIAN BRIEFLY BEFORE CALMING DOWN/REGAINING CONTROL.
