THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD WHEN TAKING OF AND STARTING. I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE THE ISSUES PARTIALLY CAUSED ME TO REAR END SOMEONE. THE CAR WAS TOTALED.

THE ACCIDENT WAS A LOW SPEED COLLISION WHERE NO ONE WAS INJURED OTHER THEN MYSELF AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME A LATE 90'S EARLY 20'S LEXUS CAR RED IN COLOR HAD LITTLE DAMAGE.

I WAS DRIVING ~60 MPH ON A NEW/SMOOTH HIGHWAY (I-60 IN MESA) THAT WAS EMPTY (NO CARS WERE IN FRONT OF ME FOR AT LEAST 2 MILES). THE SUNROOF/PANORAMIC-ROOF SUDDENLY SHATTERED (EXPLODED) AND THE GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE. GLASS FELL ON MY HEAD, EVERYWHERE IN THE CAR AND EVEN DAMAGED THE CAR ANTENNA AND SPOILER (ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR). THE TEMPERATURE WAS ~60 DEGREES F, THERE WERE NO ROCKS/DEBRIS FLYING AROUND AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING SMOOTHLY (NO BUMPS ON THE ROAD). THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME A ROCK HIT IT (EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO EVIDENCE) AND ARE MAKING ME COVER THE REPAIRS! THIS IS NOT RIGHT. *TR
