Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON 11/21/2020 AT ABOUT 930AM ON NORTHBOUND I-75 DOING ABOUT 70MPH AS THE REST OF TRAFFIC IN GEORGIA WHEN MY SUNROOF (NOT OPENED) SUDDENLY DETACHED AND BLEW OFF THE VEHICLE. I INITIALLY HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND WASN'T AT FIRST WHAT HAPPENED. I LOOKED UP AND SUNROOF PANEL WITH THE GLASS WAS GONE. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO VEHICLES AROUND ME SO AS FAR AS I KNOW NO ONE WAS HIT OR INJURED. I EVENTUALLY PULLED OVER AND LOOKED AT THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SUNROOF PANEL WAS GONE. I FINISHED BY BUSINESS THAT MORNING AND RETUNED HOME SAFELY TO OUR HOME IN OCALA, FL.
