The panoramic sunroof on my 2015 VW Golf SE spontaneously exploded while driving approximately 60 mph on the freeway at approximately 9:15 pm on 2/27/2017 on highway 880 in oakland, about 1/2 mile South of the oracle coliseum. No cars were near me and I was not under a bridge, thus no evidence that the sunroof was struck by an external object. There was also no visible evidence of damage to the glass prior to entering the vehicle, I check every time I buy gas. The glass shattered suddenly in a loud explosion that sounded like a gunshot and shards were scattered throughout the interior of the vehicle and covered myself and my passenger - although most of the shards blew outward and landed on the road. The experience was extremely frightening and could have caused serious injuries. Luckily I was able to maintain calm and slowly drive off the freeway rather than jerking the wheel when the explosion happened. The only injuries are emotional and 12 hours later I am still finding small shards of glass on my person (hair, inside my mouth and nose, on my clothes).
