“I have owned this car for less than a year and the moonroof has shattered on me twice already. The front one to be exact, both times it was raining but normal rain, I live in northen california. No objects hit my car and no accident. It sounds like a loud gunshot near you and its very scary I almost caused an accident because I swerved to next lane due to being scared of the loud noise. First time I was on my way to reno and I had to keep going but it was hell and one of the worst experience of my life. Part of the glass flew off within minutes of me driving so rain got into my car. …”
