WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET I HEARD A LARGE NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN SHOT. I PULLED OVER TO LOOK AT THE CAR TO SEE IF IT HAD BEEN SHOT. I SAW NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY 0-15 DEGREES F AT THE TIME. LATER WHILE LOOKING OUT MY SECOND STORY WINDOW I NOTICED A SPOT THAT APPEARED TO BE THAWED OUT ON THE ROOF OF MY CAR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I NOTICED THE SUNROOF HAD BEEN SHATTERED. THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE CENTER OF THE SUNROOF. IT WAS A GOOD THING THAT MY INTERIOR SUNROOF SHADE WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OTHERWISE I MAY HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. *TR
