Prius

  • 900 miles
On my way home from work I had the sunroof opened and a rock hit the deflector (a piece of tempered glass) and shattered it. I took it to the dealer and it was replaced at a cost of $907.66. My concern is that this deflector and sunroof are unsafe...being only tempered glass and not safety glass. The entire roof is made of this glass. I had assumed that the vehicle was safe. I fear that any falling object (like a stone or hail) poses a danger to my safety.
