I was driving down the highway at 70mph, no other vehicle in front of me. The movable section of the sunroof exploded with a loud bang and glass raining down on me and my passenger. All widows closed, sunroof closed, sunshade open. 60Sunny morning. I'm extremely confident that nothing hit the roof. I hab never had an issue with the roof and actually seldom open it....
While driving at 75 mph on interstate hwy, our sunroof spontaneously exploded. Sr was closed and no objects were seen or felt hitting the roof. No cars or trucks immediately in front of our car. Temp was about 65 f. Headliner was closed so minimal glass entered the cabin. No injuries, no other cars involved. Car is 27 months old with about 25k miles. No major past repairs or accidents to the car in the past.
Terrible blind spot resulting from side mirrors and roof pillars when turning right or left. Worse on right turns. Can't see pedestrians. The mirror and roof pillar creates a 24 inch wide blind spot. Making it worse is the fact that the power seat doesn't go high enough for me to see over mirrors( I am 5'8"). No accident, only close calls and surprises.
