 Description of the problemI was driving down the freeway at approximately 65 mph and the panoramic sunroof on my mercedes c300 exploded. I say "exploded" because nothing struck the glass and most of the glass blew out and off the car, not in. The sunroof was closed at the time, so there was no wind pressure. After i stopped, you can even see where the glass remaining is sticking up, not down. The shade was open so glass did fall into my car, cutting my arm. If kids or others were in the car, it would likely have cut them or could have resulted in glass dust in their eyes, etc. It also could have caused an accident by scaring me but also since much of it blew off my car, it put the cars behind me in danger and could have caused them to crash. Mercedes has not taken responsibility of this yet, but i have brought this to their attention. The vehicle was only a little over 1 year old and only about 17,000 miles on it. No way should this have happened. I have more pictures, if you want them.
