Description of the problem	While driving 70 mph down the interstate my front sunroof exploded/shattered. I was not and had not been under an overpass and the closest vehicle to me at the time was a car about four car lengths ahead of me. My screen was open so with a loud boom glass was all over me and my car. I was scared, but within 10 minutes also experienced a nose bleed and have never had one before. I felt this might have been caused because of a pressure issue within the cabin of the vehicle but unsure if that is the reason after reading about other kia's with similar issues. Nothing hit the vehicle or sunroof. I purchased new 8 months ago and all the miles have been placed by me. It's been garage kept and the temperature was 77 degrees outside (had just looked at it a little before this event). I am in the process of having it looked at by the service department of the dealership where it was purchased. I am terrified to put my kids in the back seat and it happening again since most of the glass and the metal bar attached to the glass feel in their carseats.
