1 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/23/2026

On June 23, 2026 around 3:30pm, we were driving 70 mph on an interstate (i40) and the panoramic sunroof spontaneously shattered on our BMW X3. We were not struck by anything and there was no inclement weather or extreme heat. The sunshade was pulled so we were not hit by the glass, but we were very much in danger. My baby was in the backseat and he would have had glass all over him. We had to pull over on the highway and had to arrange for another car to take us home.
