Description of the problem	The front glass roof panel/sunroof exploded with no evidence of any outside force or factor. Car is a 2014 kia cadenza purchased used in 2017 with 10,000 miles. Mileage at time of incident was 17,629. No relevant maintenance history associated with the incident. I was driving the vehicle in ridgeland, ms southbound on a frontage road off of i-55 at 6:20 pm cst at a speed of approximately 55 miles per hour in drive as the vehicle has an automatic transmission. It had been an overcast day and at the time of the incident it was not raining and the temperature was near 60 degrees. There were no cars on either side of me nor in front of me for a reasonable distance. As i was driving, there was an extremely loud explosion which sounded as if a gun had been discharged in or near my car. I was extremely startled by the explosion and immediately heard outside noise and felt air coming in from the top of the car. I slowed and engaged my hazards until i could get to a location to inspect the car. I noticed an interesting smell directly after the incident but could not determine where it was coming from and it dissipated. Once i parked the car it was as expected, the front section of the roof glass had a large hole with glass shards and the remainder of the front section of glass was cracked but had not dislodged. The rear glass section appeared to be unharmed. Three work employees as well as my wife witnessed the damage directly after i parked. This was a trip i had made numerous times with no unusual road conditions, traffic or weather in this case.
