  • 35,012 miles
On October 15, 2019 and on July 1, 2020 the glass panel which is located in front of the panoramic sunroof blew off the car while driving on the highway. This piece of glass does not move and became a dangerous projectile endangering other vehicles. I would guess the glue is not bonding properly
