Description of the problem	I was driving along the interstate at a high speed when all of a sudden i heard this terrifying sound like glass breaking and then my sunroof violently exploded with the glass hitting the drivers behind me. The sound itself was extremely startling and i am very lucky to have not caused an accident because of it. I am thankful that my sunroof shade was closed during this incident so i wasn't injured. There were no cracks in my sunroof and i did not hear anything hit it, like a rock or some other hard object prior to it exploding. I have researched and it looks like this is a known issue with kia sportages years 2011-2015 and it doesn't seem like anything has been done to resolve the issue. My insurance is going to cover the replacement, but i wanted to report this incident to help save someone from a similar situation.
