“I was driving and suddenly heard a loud explosion on the top of me, then I saw a my sunroof cracked. I stopped to check on it and I continued driving for about a mile until part of the sunroof blew off and hit other cars. Nothing hit the glass for it to brake, it simply exploded from the inside out (pressure-like explosion). Dealer says it has no recall at the moment for my vehicle but while doing my research, I found out that Audi car owners have had the exact same problem in the past with no resolution yet. …”
