Description of the problem	While driving on a toll road at 65 mph, the sunroof violently exploded off the roof of the car. Sunroof was closed and fortunately, the sunroof shade was also closed which prevented most of the shattered glass from cutting my wife and i. Stopped the car and found the sunroof shattered with most of the sunroof missing. A car behind us was damaged by the glass flying off our roof. Only the metal sunroof frame remained on our roof. Did not see any flying rocks and found no evidence suggesting anything had hit the sunroof which was closed/flush with our roof. Sounded and felt like a rapid decompression in an aircraft. Had owned car for only 4 months so still under warranty. We've been waiting for almost 4 months for kia to reimburse us for the cost of repair.
