I was driving down the highway having just picked picked up thiis car I just bought from the dealership when suddenly I heard a loud expolosion up above and noticed my sunroof exploded sending pieces of glass into my car. I was scratched and had to get home 1/2 hour away. Dealership was far. The dealershhip said to call the insurance. I think it could bet the way the sunroof was put in but not sure.

While driving on the interstate at approximately 70 miles per hour at 6:45 pm on Tuesday, March 6th, my sunroof suddenly exploded and glass fragments fell inside my vehicle. At the time of the explosion, there were not any cars around my vehicle nor did I hit any object on the road including a pothole. The explosion sounded as if a gun went off near my head and the glass immediately began to split into small pieces. Other than having some ringing in my ears as a result of the explosion noise, I did not suffer any other physical damage. I took the car into the Lexus dealer and they stated that they had never had a case where a sunroof exploded without something hitting it directly. I know for a fact that nothing hit my vehicle or my sunroof as I was traveling on the interstate without any car or truck around me at the time of the explosion. I am filing this in order to get it documented and to see if any other Lexus owner has had a similar issue with their Lexus sunroof. I am attaching pictures of the sunroof which shows the damage done from the glass exploding without any type of foreign contact. I hope that someone from the nhta would contact me to let me know if there have been other cases like this reported.

While traveling approximately 40 mph on a sunny day (45 degrees) the front panoramic sunroof spontaneously exploded. It was about 2 pm est. There were no cars around me or anything above. It sounded like an explosion. I pulled over and looked around to see what the noise was. It wasn't until I looked up that I saw the hole in the sunroof. Glass did not come down, it went out.
