Power moonroof exploded while driving about 40mph on a city street. It was about 52deg F on a cloudy day. My wife was in passenger seat & glass fell in on us. We pulled over and cleaned up most of it.

I have filed this claim because the car in mention has been repaired by Mazda for failures in the door latching-locking system on three (3) separate occasions on different doors since I purchased it and it is currently showing signs of failure on one of the doors that was not affected before. I no longer consider the vehicle safe to drive and I strongly believe that failures of this nature may cause accidents with catastrophic injuries to the driver and to others. As a Mazda customer, car owner and engineering professional, I'm extremely concerned when I contemplate the possibility that this might not be an isolated case and that other Mazda owners might be driving unsafe vehicles. I have also started a claim with the BBB auto line case maz1714424 where I pursue repurchase of the vehicle by Mazda among other items.
