While driving on the freeway at around 70mph i heard a loud bang upon looking around realized my sunroof had blown outward from the center. I know nothing hit it from the inside and nothing fell on top of it either. I was left driving on the freeway with a large hole in the middle of my sunroof with cracked glass all along the sides. *tr

Sun roof (moon roof) exploded. While traveling at 65 mph, with the sun roof closed and the internal ceiling shade closed, an extremely loud pop came from the roof of the car. Very loud! Then, the sound of wind and broken glass streaming over the car and onto the cars traveling behind us. We pulled over and found the sun roof shattered from edge to edge. We made our way to the nearest hyundai dealer and persuaded…

At approx. 7:20 am on july 24, 2014 the sunroof on my 2013 hyundai elantra gt with panoramic roof exploded while traveling on rte 495 in ma. It sounded like a shotgun blast in the car. All windows were up and the sunroof was closed. The shade was open. I estimate 75% of the glass blew up and out of the vehicle. Some remained in the frame of the sunroof and some fell down into the car, a small amount upon my head and…

While driving on a ca highway in the slow lane at approx. 50mph, in the morning time (60-65f degrees), i heard a sudden boom noise. It sounded like a gun shot. I was not near any overpass, nor were any vehicles in close proximity. I did not see any debris, projectiles or rocks hit the car. I pulled over on the highway, after swerving a few lanes, thinking i had blown a tire. To my surprise, the elantra gt panoramic…

I was driving down the interstate at about 68mph all of a sudden i heard a large boom. Pulled over to see what happened and notice that my moonroof/sunroof had shattered into a million pieces. The intriguing part was that i was alone with no cars around when the incident happened. The weather was cold, but not extreme the temperature was around 24 degrees. *tr

I heard an explosion and started feeling something falling down on me as i was driving. I looked up to see the sunroof part of my panoramic roof had shattered and shards of glass were falling down on me. This was in the morning, nothing above me or around me, no trucks.. Just a random break. I called the dealership and was told to contact my insurance. I looked online and see there have been many issues with the…

I had just gotten onto the freeway when i noticed things flying off the back of my car. I wasn't sure what it was so i opened my sunroof slider a little and saw that my sunroof had shattered. I did not go under an underpass so i cannot be sure what happened. All i know is it cost me $500 deductible to get it fixed. My car is only 3 months old, so that doesn't seem right. I have had 4 cars with sunroofs and never had…
