| Description of the problem | While traveling approx 65 mph on the highway with no trucks or overpasses around my sunroof glass literally exploded! I thought i had a tire blowout until i heard wind coming from the roof and saw bright light from the sunshade cracks. When i opened the visor a crack you could see the glass had exploded upward. I had a large chunk of glass missing from the sunroof. I saw another complaint on nhtsa for the same situation and i an very concerned about the safety of the glass. Thank you for you consideration!
