Narrative

On [XXX] We were driving our 2025 Gle350 fourmatic west on [XXX] between [XXX] and [XXX] @ 7:30 pm, driving at 70 mph in the right lane the panoramic sunroof exploded into shards of glass and rained down on the driver and passenger, it sounded like a gun went off as the front moveable roof panel blew apart. The vehicle had approximately 650 miles on the odometer. Nothing struck the car, no foreign objects were found in the vehicle cabin amidst the 1,000s of shards of glass inside the car. Upon taking the vehicle to Mercedes Benz of Novi for service, their comments were that we must be mistaken and a rock must have struck the vehicles roof. We have filed a claim with AAA insurance INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
