Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE POSTED LIMIT, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT AND I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY THE HEADLINER WAS CLOSED SO THE GLASS DID NOT ENTER THE CABIN. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF US FOR AT LEAST 1 MILE AND NO OVERPASSES OR ROCKS THAT I SAW OR HEARD HITTING THE VEHICLE. IT IS A STOCK VEHICLE WITH 5200 MILES ON IT.
