My husband and I were driving onto the highway, going less than 50 mph, when we heard a very loud explosion that rattled our heads and made our ears ring. There wasn't anything that hit us or that had fell on sunroof at all so we were both in shock as to what had happened. We both looked up to see that our front sun roof had exploded and in a quick panic we tried to shut the sunroof to keep the glass from falling on us but were not able to close it in enough time and glass fell all over us and flew into the back hitting our kids. We took the next exit to nearest gas station to stop and make sure no one was bleeding or cut. The explosion was so loud we were all shaken up. Luckily there was a nearby car wash to vacuum the debris off of everyone and calm down the scare that put us in panic. We didn't want glass flying off and hitting other vehicles around us. We took photos and investigated the vehicle for possible evidence as to why our sunroof exploded. To our findings there was no other possible answers other than our sunroof clearly just exploded out of nowhere. And we still had 2 hours to drive on highway to get home at night. I'm worried for the safety of my kids because we have a bigger sun roof behind this small one that is right above their seats and I'm sure it could explode next. I had to place my sons blanket above their heads to keep the glass that was still attached from crumbling and falling on them or in their eyes during the rest of the way home. The glass was crumbling like cookie crumbs and it was not safe for them in the back at all. This is a huge safety issue for all people in the vehicle, including surrounding vehicles and road safety that should not be ignored or taken lightly.
