Description of the problem | Driving down 294 south (a highway), at approximately 60mph, with no other vehicle around our vehicle and not going under an overpass, there was a very loud bang. My 2 kids were in the middle two seats and started screaming and crying because of the loud noise and also because glass was falling on them. The loud bang turned out to be the panoramic moonroof exploding on its own. Nothing hit the car or the roof as there were no cars around us. We quickly closed the cover to the moonroof so more glass wouldn't fall on the kids. As you can see in the picture the moonroof exploded outward and not inward as if something hit it. The panoramic moonroof doesn't open. |
