“The panoramic sunroof on my 2015 vw GOLF se spontaneously exploded while driving approximately 60 MPH on the freeway at approximately 9:15 pm on 2/27/2017 on highway 880 in oakland, about 1/2 mile south of the oracle coliseum. No cars were near me and I was not under a bridge, thus no evidence that the sunroof was struck by an external object. There was also no visible evidence of damage to the glass prior to entering the vehicle, I check every time I buy gas. …”
