Sunroof spontaneously exploded/shattered while driving at 70 mph on freeway on Nov. 25-2015. Loud noise (like gunshot or explosion), followed immediately by sound of wind entering car and shattered glass rolling in space above interior sunroof closure. Pulled off highway, stopped vehicle, found large hole in middle of sunroof with jagged edges and numerous shards of glass between remains of exterior sunroof and interior cover. Fortunately, interior cover was closed or we would have been sprayed with glass fragments. Temp outside in 60S, dry. No trucks, overpasses, or road debris when it occurred -- totally spontaneous. Vehicle purchased in November 2014, Toyota cool springs, franklin, tn. Approximate mileage at occurrence 9,430.
