Example complaints

“On december 6, 2016 my sunroof exploded while driving down the freeway. The explosion was so loud and violent I thought I was shot. Shards of glass rained down on my head. I was able to avoid a vehicle collision, but was very shaken up about the ordeal. My right ear felt deaf and I noticeable have less hearing as a result of the explosion.”
