## Narrative
The Panoramic Sunroof Glass front cover has detached three times from my 2017 CLA 250 (VIN#[XXX]).  The first time that it detached was with the previous owner and was repaired at a Mercedes dealership in Tampa Florida.  It has since detached twice with ME and I have only owned it for 12 months.  The first time that it detached with me, I was driving approximately 60 MPH on I-85 in Montgomery. AL.  It blew off and could have definitely caused a VERY SERIOUS accident, but luckily no vehicles were behind me at the time 4/29/21.  So I went to the local Montgomery, AL. Mercedes dealership, Jack Ingram, and they said that there was No RECALL and there was nothing that they could do.  So I had to purchase my own replacement glass from Mercedes and have an auto glass repair co. install it.  Fast-forward to 6/18/21, the newly installed roof glass blew off again as I was driving down S.R. 115 in Montgomery, AL.  I was going 55 at the time.  This time it blew off and several cars had to swerve to miss it.  One vehicle did run over it a broke it in two.  Traffic has to stop while I jumped out and picked it up from the ROW.  I guess MercedesBenz USA will make this right once it flies off for the 4th time and seriously injures someone or worse.  Can someone PLEASE help me with this issue?
