NHTSA complaint #11057672, filed 2017-12, 59,975 miles“I was driving down a country road in the morning, temperature was about 60 degrees. The sunroof on my 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander was not open but the safety screen was pushed back. As I was driving down a country road out of nowhere I heard a loud explosion. The noise is what I would describe as a loud bang or gunshot like sound. I could feel pieces of glass fall down on top of me. When I looked up I could see that there was a substantial hole in my sunroof and all of the glass around the hole was shattered into a million pieces. …”
NHTSA complaint #11130929, filed 2018-09, 88,000 miles“4/08/2017, my car made a noise like someone had shot out my back windshield.

I was looking around to see if I could see anything,I could not. I heard the glass still moving, something told me to slide back the cover of my sun roof a little. When I did, I saw that my sunroof had exploded. I did not get injured because I had the sunroof cover closed. What a nightmare. …”
