I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN JACKSONVILLE, FL WHEN MY SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED SENDING GLASS SHARDS EVERYWHERE. THE GLASS BROKE FROM THE INSIDE OUT BASED ON THE ORIENTATION OF THE REMAINING SHARDS ATTACHED TO THE SUNROOF FRAME. THIS WAS AT 8:45AM WHILE TRAVELING IN MORNING WORK TRAFFIC. THE LOUDNESS AND INTENSITY OF THE GLASS BREAKING NEARLY CAUSED ME LOSE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. TOM BUSH VOLKSWAGEN JACKSONVILLE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO COVER THE DAMAGE EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. I RECEIVED MINOR SCRAPES FROM THE INCIDENT.
