“My sunroof exploded . Heard the pop while on the freeway with nothing above me or near me. My inside cover was closed but when I got out and shut the door the shattered glass fell on the the cover. I'm 99% sure nothing hit me because there was no one even close. It just popped and shattered. I was on se beltway in pasadena tx between I-45 and the toll booth heading east and there was no traffic . It just didn't make sense. Now I have been hearing from many others that their sun roof broke also. Could it be a defect? I did get it repaired .”

Suddenly, I heard what was a loud bang on my roof - and then several smaller bangs. Almost like gunshots. I nearly wrecked my car because it startled me so badly.
