“I was entering the highway at 65mph, there were no cars in front or behind me and no bridges above me, once I got to around 70mph my sunroof exploded outwards with extreme force for no reason, I could not find a rock or gravel and I do not believe glass will shatter outwards when broken from the outside.”

“When tire pressure management system begins to fail, its rdc module takes down the complete dashboard monitoring and operational systems. Upon failure, the rdc affects speedometer, tachometer, radio, blower, wipers, idrive systems. Driver has no indicators of turn signals or lighting (even if functional) within the cabin of the car. This occurred in driving sequence as first a series of flashes and idrive restarts, then complete blanking out of all dashboard systems. Upon advisement of repair tech, simple unplug of rdc clears all dashboard symptoms except TPMS malfunction indicator. …”
