FRIEND WAS DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY. SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD BOOM, AND THE SOUND OF ROAD NOISE. PULLED OFF FREEWAY. FOUND THAT SUNROOF HAD SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. THE ONLY REASON THIS DIDN'T HURT THE DRIVER WAS THAT THE SUNROOF SHADE WAS PULLED. THE DEALERSHIP (LONG BEACH BMW) CLAIMED THAT THIS WAS A RESULT OF AN IMPACT. NO EVIDENCE OF SOMETHING HITTING IT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE THIS SHATTERING IS VISIBLE. IN FACT, THE PICTURE SHOWS THAT THE SUNROOF EXPLODED OUT WHEN IT SHATTERED. (LOOK AROUND THE HOLE AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS GOING OUT.

I PULLED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I USED THE INTERNAL BUTTON TO OPEN THE TRUNK THEN OPENED MY DOOR AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE KEY WAS IN MY PURSE ON MY SHOULDER. I WAS REACHING INTO THE TRUNK TO GATHER MY BELONGINGS, AND THE CAR MADE A STEADY ALARM SOUND I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE AND THE TRUNK CLOSED ON MY ARM. I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY ARM OUT WHILE IT WAS PINNED IN THE TRUNK, BUT I HAVE TWO PAINFUL SUBDERMAL HEMATOMAS ON MY RIGHT ARM.

SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR IS SENSING A FAULT. IT SAYS IT IS NOT WORKING AND THE AIRBAG IS NOT ON. THE DEALER IS RELUCTANT TO REPAIR IT, BECAUSE IT'S EXPENSIVE. IT'S UCLEAT IF THE AIRBAG WILL WORK.
