“I and my wife were driving down in our Audi Q7 2017 model on I-95 south (between exit 12 and 11) in car lanes in nj when the sunroof exploded and shattered by itself. It was around 9am on saturday. There was no traffic around us and we did not see anything hit the car. This could not be impact related.”
NHTSA complaint #11155723, filed 2018-12, 7,150 miles“My sunroof/moonroof spontaneously exploded as I was sitting completely stationary at a traffic light on a perfectly sunny day. Nothing hit my car or the sunroof. I was less than 2 miles from my house on a secondary road with minimal traffic. The sound was like a gunshot, which is what I thought it was for a brief moment. The glass exploded with such force that fine shards of glass were embedded in the leather and my skin. Sunglasses saved my eyes, and I was able to remove most of the glass with a lint roller from my arms and hands and face.”
