While driving on the freeway, we heard a loud crash, thinking a tire had blown out. Instead, it was the moon/sun roof glass that shattered/imploded. It was a clear day, no bridges overhead or large trucks on the road. Thankfully, the panel was closed so glass didn't fall into the vehicle, but the glass panel was completely damaged. Aside from being very scary, it could have been extremely dangerous had it been open or if glass would have flown all over the freeway. We immediately cleared off the glass and taped the perimeter of the panel to keep the remaining glass intact. There was no warning and there was no signals on the dash after it happened. We reported it to our insurance AAA, and the issue has since been fixed. The company that repaired it was through our insurance recommendation and they said it was not the first time they had seen this issue happen.

I was driving and my moonroof (Vista roof) exploded while I was driving on the freeway and completely shattered. It sounded as if a gunshot went off and I was terrified I was being shot at. It was on a 4 lane highway with nowhere I could pull over so I continued until I got to work. The entire first panel had shattered immediately and luckily I had the fabric inside cover closed or I would have been covered in shatter glass. When the roof exploded, I was in traffic, it made me swerve in my lane with cars all around me. I was lucky enough to maintain my exposure so I could continue to drive and didn't cause an accident. This could have caused a horrible accident which would have involved the many drivers around me.
