Model Year	2011
File date	15/12/13
Component	VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Rear sun roof exploded. Traveling along i-4 about 55 mph when there was a large gun shot sound so we looked around for another vehicle that might have made the noise but there was no car within 50-60 yards behind or in front. Then we heard something rumbling on roof which was glass. Luckily the roof was intact but the very sides of the glass roof were breaking up in a long slender line. Now after a few miles getting home the center is starting to break up. The car had been parked in the garage for 7 weeks while i was in the uk and only took it out of garage. I have been in the uk motor trade 50 years and never seen glass give way like this. It appears as if somebody tried to push the two sides of the car inwards causing the roof to explode. There is no other damage at all and no debris hit my roof. Updated 1/7/14cn updated 01/09/14lj updated 01/09/14
