Rear fixed vista roof panel exploded outward with a very loud - shotgun like - bang, leaving a large hole and a very dangerous shattered remaining panel that could fall and injure occupants, the panel is made of toughened glass as opposed to being laminated as the front windshield is. The incident occurred on a fairly quiet freeway, no cars in front and not under a bridge etc.

The vehicle is equipped with an automatic liftgate activated by motion detected under the rear bumper. Three weeks ago, I was loading items into the back of the vehicle. The vehicle was parked and off with the parking brake on. My children were buckling up in the vehicle. While I was loading the last item from the bottom of the cart, the lift gate unexpected started descending. I didn't hear the warning chimes and started standing up with the item. By that point, the gate was over halfway down and struck be just below the occipital prominence of the skull. This resulted in a concussion and several missed days of work.
