Description of the problem	On 11/29/17 at around 1:30pm while driving on the freeway on interstate 80 west bound i heard a loud bang that sounded like it came from above. The bang was so loud that it startled me. I then felt air rushing in from above my head. It was then that i knew the sound was the explosion of my sunroof. I then exited the freeway and took photos of my car. My sunroof was closed when it exploded, so fortunately the broken glass did not fall into the car. The glass broke directly above my head. When i was driving it was at speed limit (65mph) in the city of pinole, ca between exits appian way and richmond parkway. At the time of the sunroof explosion, i was not under an underpass, the freeway was not under construction, and i was not by trucks. This incident happened on a clear sky day and it the weather temperature was in the 60s. My car has about 40,000 miles and was leased from the kia oakland location. Today is 12/8/17 and it has now been over a week, and kia still has yet to assign someone to look at my car after saying they are going to investigate the claim. My car has still not fixed as of today.
