2009 Ford Focus

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AT 55-60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG, WELL MY SUNROOF JUST EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. NOTHING HIT IT, THE ROADS WERE BARE, I WASN'T UNDER ANY TREES, NOTHING. THERE'S A BIG HOLE, AND SURROUNDING THE HOLE THE GLASS IS SHATTERED. I TOOK PICTURES OF IT. THE GLASS IS POINTED OUT, NOT IN. IF SOMETHING HAD FELL ON IT, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT OF GLASS INSIDE THE VEHICLE BUT THERE WASN'T. ITS A BRAND NEW CAR! 2009 FORD FOCUS. HAVEN'T EVEN HAD IT A YEAR. COMPANY WONT COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE SOMETHING HIT IT. I SAID NO. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND 3 OTHER FORD VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. ITS UNSAFE. I COULD HAVE HAD LITTLE PIECES OF GLASS IN MY EYE!!! OR IF I HAD A PASSENGER THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN ALL THESE LITTLE SHARDS OF GLASS ON THEM. COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, A FOCUS, I TRIED TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT; WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR ACCELERATED MOMENTARILY. I PUSHED HARDER ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR DID STOP. HOWEVER, THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH (MID JANUARY TO MID FEBRUARY, 2009), AND THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF REAR-ENDING A STOPPED CAR.--THIS WAS AFTER I LEFT ABOUT DOUBLE THE STOPPING SPACE THAT WOULD BE NORMAL FOR A STOP.. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SECOND TIME AND THEY ARE TRYING TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM,WITH NO LUCK SO FAR. *TR
