Heard a loud exploding sound while driving down the street. Quickly realized that the sunroof exploded and shattered on it own. No impact and nothing fell on it. Just a random explosion. Called local Audi dealership and they have heard of this issue in Audis, but that there is no active recall.
My car stalled. I could not moved the car. Mobile mechanic came saw the alternator belt was broke. He repaired the belt and alternator. When he started the car, smoke and loud squeal came from engine. He immediately shut it off. The car has less than 60k miles. I have not driven the car as much due to travel.
Panoramic sunroof exploded today while driving at highway speeds. Broken glass gave way. Car was not struck by any objects before the glass failed. There were no warnings. Have not yet taken the car to a dealer or service provider. Though it did not happen to me, there’s danger from the explosion itself and from the glass entering the cabin.
Driving during the morning on my way to work I heard this explosion and a sound behind. When I pulled off I noticed my moonroof was shattered. Just about to fell off or blow away. No object had hit the car. It was simply a huge explosion.
I was driving on the freeway at dusk at 50mph when the sunroof in my Q3 spontaneously exploded into a million pieces and rained glass down on me. I was unharmed and able to exit, but it could have caused a major accident as it was a tremendously loud and startling event. Audi determined that there was no projectile that caused the breakage and are replacing it as being "under warranty".
