2015 Audi A3 Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1300417
Internal NHTSA #	10886016

File date	19/07/16
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was driving and suddenly heard a loud explosion on the top of me, then i saw a my sunroof cracked. I stopped to check on it and i continued driving for about a mile until part of the sunroof blew off and hit other cars. Nothing hit the glass for it to brake, it simply exploded from the inside out (pressure-like explosion). Dealer says it has no recall at the moment for my vehicle but while doing my research, i found out that audi car owners have had the exact same problem in the past with no resolution yet. Chassis might cause extra tension on sunroof creating it to explode, or inside pressure is too strong for the glass to resist. Sunroof and windows were up (closed) at the time of the incident.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
