THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,207 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,915. UPDATED 09/30/11*LJ UPDATED 3/29/12 *CN

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2009 FORD FOCUS HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN WE HEAR A LOUD NOISE. SCARED ALL OF US. THEN I HEAR GLASS FALLING ON THE COVER OF SUNROOF. THE THING HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED!!! NOT CRACKED BUT SHATTERED! THANK GOD THAT I HAD THAT COVER CLOSED BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH. THE GLASS DID NOT FALL INTO SMALL CIRCLES LIKE I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE GLASS SHOULD HAVE. THE ODD THING IS THE GLASS IS PUSHED OUTWARD LIKE SOMEONE KICKED FROM THE INSIDE. IT IS A 2009 STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK PICTURES AND EMAILED THEM TO HEADQUARTERS FOR A DECISION IF THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT. IT CAME BACK DENIED. THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. SO I CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF IT ALL EXCEPT $50. BUT THE MORE RESEARCH ONLINE I'M FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON...
