“Today while driving down a residential street at 30mph, my sunroof exploded. Upon stopping at a red light, I opened my sunroof visor a little, and I observed my sunroof was shattered. It was a loud pop, in comparison to the sound of a shotgun.”

“My sunroof exploded while I was driving down a residential street. I was driving at a speed of 30mph. I was the only car on the street when I heard a loud pop; it sounded like a shotgun. Afterwards, I heard a cackling sound coming from the top of my car. As a made a complete stop at a red light, I moved my visor to my sunroof back and all I saw was shattered glass. I immediately closed the visor to my sunroof. It was the most frightening experience of my life. My sunroof exploded and now it's shattered to pieces. I made it home, but I cannot drive my car.”
