“Exploding sunroof. On friday 26 jan 2018, at 4:10pm, I was driving in alabama on interstate 65 northbound mile at marker 180 in the middle lane at 70 MPH. The temperature was approximately 55f and overcast with no rain. There was no traffic in front of me for at least a half a mile nor traffic to the side or rear for at least a quarter of a mile. I had not passed under a bridge for at least a mile. I saw no objects coming from the front or above. At this time, I heard a loud report like a gunshot followed by wind noise. Glass starting falling through the sunroof shade vents. …”
NHTSA complaint #11065606, filed 2018-01, 61,250 miles“While driving on the interstate at approx. 65 MPH, the sunroof exploded with glass blowing up towards the sky.

If my wife were driving the car, she probably would have panicked, causing an accident involving other vehicles. Also, if there was a car immediately behind mine, they would have been showered with glass shards from the glass shooting up from my vehicle. If a motorcyclist, it would not have been good. …”
