Sunroof made loud noise and suddenly shattered without any warning while on freeway.
ON 24 FEB 2021, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A STATE ROAD AT ABOUT 50 MPH, MY MOONROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED OUTWARD. THE MOONROOF WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION. I HAD NOT PASSED UNDER ANY OVERPASS (DROPPED OBJECT), NOR WAS I PASSING OR HAD I BEEN PASSED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE (THROWN DEBRIS). THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WAS OVER 200 YARDS AWAY. WHEN THE MOONROOF UNEXPLAINABLY EXPLODED, MOONROOF GLASS WAS THROWN ACROSS MY ROOF AND TRUNK, SCRATCHING THE PAINT. THE REPAIR BILL FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR JUST THE MOONROOF REPAIR WAS $976.66. I FEEL THERE CAN BE NO OTHER EXPLANATION TO THE EXPLODED MOONROOF OTHER THAN SOME TYPE OF DEFECT WITH THE CAR. THE GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARD, AND THE ENTIRE GLASS WAS SHATTERED. IT WAS NOT A "ROCK CHIP" OR OTHER TYPE OF DAMAGE SINCE NOTHING ELSE WAS IN THE AREA.
