Description of the problem | We were driving down interstate, going speed limit of 70 mph, when all of sudden heard a loud pop, sounded much like gunshot. Could hear the air flow. Once we got stopped on side of road, found the sunroof completely shattered. When we called dealership was told we would have to claim on our insurance. Chrysler dealership said wasn't their fault, and since it was not windshield had to file against insurance claim as accident. Even though dealership could not find anything that had impacted the glass in sunroof cavity, nothing but glass. Service manager stated " maybe a ball or pine cone hit it" i asked going down interstate at 70 mph? They refused to even investigate. So i had to file a claim against insurance and pay my deductible. Seriously the sunroof just shattered. Glass went everywhere. Had to replace the interior of the sunroof also! |
