Description of the problem	My 2011 kia optima panoramic sunroof exploded like a bomb went off above my head while i was traveling at normal highway speed on a beautiful clear day. Once i got pulled over onto the shoulder i observed a bowling ball sized hole blasted outward in the center of the front panel of the sunroof. Nothing hit it. Everything was normal. Boom. Luckily the sun shade was closed at the time, otherwise the shattered glass would have rained down upon me at the time of the big bang, and i probably would have lost control.
