MY SON WAS ON HIS WAY HOME FROM COLLEGE FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING: WHILE DRIVING ON I-10 EASTBOUND NEAR SEALY, TX FROM AUSTIN TO HOUSTON HE HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND FOLLOWED BY A GUST OF AIR. HE PULLED OVER TO ASSESS THE SITUATION AND THAT'S WHEN HE REALIZED THE GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF HAD SOMEHOW DETACHED ITSELF FROM THE VEHICLE AND WENT AIRBORNE. IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE INFORM ME. HOPEFULLY THE FLYING GLASS DID NOT INJURE ANYONE ELSE.
