Description of the problem | My sunroof exploded while driving on the freeway. As i was driving (with sunroof closed), a loud "boom" sounded. My first thought was something hit me. But i quickly realized my sunroof exploded. Cars behind me scattered as glass flew all over the freeway. This explosion was quite jarring, and under different circumstances, this could have caused an accident. Fortunately, that didn't happen. I contacted fiat chrysler, but they will not claim fault. Sunroofs don't explode. And if they do, it has to be a manufacturing flaw. Fiat chrysler needs to be held accountable for this before an incident like this causes some one to get hurt. |
