Consumer Description

ON APRIL 5, 2021 AT ABOUT 7AM. I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER'S 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA LIMITED EDITION WITH A PANORAMA SUNROOF TO A CASINO CALL CACHE CREEK CASINO IN CALIFORNIA. I WAS DRIVING AND SHE WAS THE PASSENGER THAT MORNING. I WAS GOING AROUND 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 80, EASTBOUND WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE CENTER SUNROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE SHOT A GUN AT US AND WE ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND BARELY AVOIDED A MAJOR COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN NEXT TO US. WE PULLED OF THE NEXT EXIT IN HERCULES,CA. TO THE FIRST GAS STATION WE SAW. I CALL THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL SO THEY COULD COME AND MAKE OUT A REPORT. IT REALLY SCARED US ,BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE SHOT AT US WITH A SHOTGUN. ,,,,,,,,,,,
