Was driving 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe on the highway at 70mph when suddenly I heard a loud noise. Immediately after I could hear the broken glass from my sunroof on top of the cloth cover. Vehicle was not struck by an external object, but rather the sunroof seemed to explode spontaneously. When I pulled over to the side of the road to examine the damage, almost the entire length of the sunroof had broken in millions of pieces.

While traveling on the highway at 75mph there was a loud bang (like an m80 exploding). I was very dazed and was unsure what had happened. The sunscreen was closed and seemed to be flapping as if wind was blowing on it. I was able to pull over to the side of the highway. When I got out of the vehicle I found that the sunroof had exploded and that the edges of the roof were pointing straight up. The sunroof was closed at the time of the explosion and the temperature was about 70 degrees. There were rain clouds moving in and I do not have a garage, so I went right to the dealership. I remember one of the technicians saying "wow, I've never seen anything like that before". The dealership installed plastic carpet film over the hole as they didn't have a replacement sunroof. The roof was replaced under warranty a few days later.

I was driving down the freeway, at about 65 miles per hour, when I hear a loud explosion noise that sounded like a gunshot. I had no idea what was happening and then I could hear the sound of wind coming from the sunroof. Luckily, the fabric part that slides back and forth was closed so none of the glass came in. I exited the freeway and pulled into a parking lot to see what had happened. Almost all of the glass on the front half of the sunroof had completely exploded out and left a gaping hole.
