WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY SUN ROOF GLASS BLEW OFF OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS NOT OPEN AT THE TIME. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS HIT. I DID NOT SEE ANYONE. MERCEDES BENZ DOES NOT SEEM TO BE CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FATALITY IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT, OR SWERVED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT A MERCEDES DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ELEVATED TO ASSURE THAT THIS TYPE OF SITUATION DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS A PRODUCT LIABILITY SITUATION AND THIS SHOULD BE NOTED SOMEWHERE. *TR
