While parked the car's sunroof exploded, showering my son and I in glass. The glass was very sharp and caused minor cuts on hands while trying to get out of the vehicle. The car needed to be towed because the glass was everywhere and we feared destroying the seats by getting back in the vehicle. The dealership claimed that it was not a warranty issue and we are working with our insurance company. We feel it is an obvious vehicle defect. Mrs dershem, vehicle was being driven at the time of the incident. After pulling into parking lot, while inside vehicle, sunroof glass shattered.pco*
