THE PANARAMIC SUN/MOON ROOF HAS COMPREHENSIVE ISSUES WITH REGARD TO STABILITY AND SAFETY. WHEN DRIVING OVER AN UNEVEN SURFACE, SPEEDBUMP, OR OTHER NON-SMOOTH SURFACE, THERE IS A LOUD AND JARRING POP FROM THE OVERHEAD ROOF AREA OF THE CAR WHERE THE PANARAMIC SUN/MOON ROOF IS INSTALLED. IT IS CONCERNING AND SOUNDS AS IF IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SHATTER OR IMPLODE ONTO PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS AT OXMOOR TOYOTA IN LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY ASKING THAT IT BE REPLACED SINCE MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE WAS CERTIFIED AND CAME WITH A BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY AND THEY REFUSED, SAYING IT WASN'T COVERED AND SUGGESTED I FILE A TSB.
