Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 75MPH, MY 2019 VOLKSWAGEN GTI SE PANORAMIC SUNROOF SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG FOLLOWED BY SHATTERED GLASS FALLING INTO THE CAR. THE ENTIRE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED AND A VERY LARGE HOLE (APPROX. 1' X 1.5' LARGE) NEAR THE FRONT OF SUNROOF WAS PRESENT. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING HIT THE SUNROOF. GIVEN THE LOUD BANG AND THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE SUNROOF, I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE A ROCK OR SOME OTHER OBJECT HIT THE SUNROOF.
