Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	We were driving on interstate 540 n, 70 mph, normal driving conditions, and light traffic when the sunroof exploded. It sounded like we had been hit by another vehicle or sometype of explosion. I immediately looked in the rear view mirror to see a large piece of dark glass flying off from the top of my car. The inside shade was closed, no glass entered inside the vehicle. We pulled off at the road and discovered a large hole in the middle of the first sunroof. The remaining portion of the first sunroof is shattered. We were not following a vehicle, i do not believe this was caused by a rock or road debris. The other parts of the glass roof seem ok, this was just the sunroof that is over the front seats.
