| 2013 | VISIBILITY | MY MOON ROOF EXPLODED ON MY 2013 CHRYSLER 300S. I BOUGHT IT IN AUGUST AND ON NOVEMBER 5TH THIS OCCURRED. I WAS DRIVING 65MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY AND HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION THAT I INITIALLY THOUGHT WAS A TIRE BUT THE WIND I HEARD WAS COMING FROM ABOVE ME WHEN MY MOON ROOF WAS CLOSED. MY MOON ROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED AND I COULD HEAR SOUNDS OF WIND AND GLASS FALLING ONTO IT. I DID NOT SEE ANY DEBRIS COMING AT ME WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IF MY MOON ROOF WASN'T CLOSED I WOULD HAVE BEEN SHOWERED WITH GLASS. I PULLED OFF AT THE NEAREST EXIT TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AND CALLED IN TO HAVE AN OFFICER SHOW UP TO FILE A POLICE REPORT. PICTURES SHOW THE GLASS BOWING IN AN UPWARD FASHION. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE INCIDENTS AND CLAIMS SIMILAR TO MINE ON THE INTERNET. I WILL NEVER DRIVE WITH MY MOON ROOF SHADE OPEN WHILE THE GLASS IS CLOSED. I HAVE A WIFE AND TWO LITTLE GIRLS 3YRS AND 9 MONTHS THAT IF THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE THEY WERE IN THE CAR WOULD BE A CATASTROPHE. I REGRET THAT I PURCHASED THE MODEL WITH A MOON ROOF. BEING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WRITING ABOUT THESE EXPLOSIONS, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING MAKE IT TO THE MEDIA THE SAME WAY THAT SUV ROLLOVERS DID YEARS BACK ENSURING THAT CONSUMERS KNEW OF A GREAT DANGER THAT COULD COME UNTIL MANUFACTURERS PAID MORE ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE AT HAND. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD CHRYSLER THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY WHAT CAUSED THE EXPLOSION / GLASS BREAKAGE. THE EXPLOSION AND GLASS SHATTERING CAUSED PAINT DAMAGE TO THE CAR AS WELL. BEING THAT MY DEALERSHIP TOLD CHRYSLER THAT THEY COULD NOT VERIFY THE CAUSE, CHRYSLER'S STANCE IS THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING. AFTER SEEING THE AMOUNT OF INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO MINE ACROSS MULTIPLE MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES, I FEEL ADDITIONAL AWARENESS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO CONSUMERS REGARDING SUN / MOON ROOFS. MANUFACTURES SHOULD TAKE MORE RESPONSIBILITY ON THIS. *TR |
