I drove my car home on saturday....and didn't move it on sunday....however at night I went to move it in front of my others cars, and I was shocked by the scene ....the sunroof was totally exploded.......I think this is a mayor defect and could be dangerous if like everyday I was driving in the highway and it could explode in front of others cars.....the weather was beautiful, not hot, not cold, and not too much sun....
