Description of the problem	I was driving my 2011 kia optima ex on a residential area. My speed was about 25 mph when suddenly there was a loud explosion sound. At the time that this occurred there were no cars or semis near my vehicle. After my 4 year old daughter and i recovered from the initial shock, i pulled over to check my vehicle and i notice the back window sunroof had a hole in the middle close by the shark tale and was still shattering. At that point, i had no other choice and had to drive my daughter to school. Once i dropped her off i dropped off my vehicle and a family members house and borrowed a vehicle, since my vehicle was unsafely to drive in that condition.
