I was driving home from work today on the interstate and it sounded like a shotgun went off. My sunroof shattered. I looked up and there was a huge hole in the middle. It was about 68 degrees F, so it wasn't cold. I have a garmin dash cam so I went home and reviewed the video looking for an object coming from the sky or road just before the sound in the video. Nothing. I don't believe that anything hit the sunroof. I did not hit any potholes. The glass just exploded. I googled gti sunroof break and found someone in Canada with the same story. I think VW has an issue.

Two foam pieces, one on the left and the other on the right, in the engine compartment are wrapped in translucent vinyl. Since the vinyl cannot withstand the heat, it can cause fire. Below are pictures of the vinyl wrapped foam on the right side. The web folder addresses are case sensitive.

The paint near a bolt for engine support on this alleged new car is damaged, and bare metal is exposed. As the rust develops, the engine support may fail, and the engine block may go out of position. This can cause fatal accident. Below is the picture of the paint damage. The web address is case sensitive.
