NHTSA complaint #11712206, filed 2026-01“I was driving the speed limit (75) when I heard an explosion. I immediately pulled over to see if I had a flat tire or if someone had shot my car. I could see no damage and nothing was showing up on my dashboard so I continued to drive but heard a whistling sound. I checked all my windows and then my sunroof. Somehow the sunroof had exploded. There were no cars close to me and no overpasses or trees in the vicinity. I have had the car for almost 3 months and have never opened the sunroof.”
