Carrier/rack problems of the 2018 Jeep Cherokee

Panoramic sunroof exploded outward - at 5:15 am, I was just starting to get on the on ramp to the freeway. I was not up to freeway speed yet. Weather conditions were good and approx. 61 degrees. As I was driving on the onramp I heard a loud explosion that freaked me out so bad I was thankful I did not crash. I pulled to the side of the road all tires were fine. All surrounding windows were fine. I had the sunroof barrier closed so I didn't even think about the sunroof until I heard chards of glass beads on the barrier. I pulled to the side of the freeway in the dark and gradually opened up the barrier to the sun roof a little. I could see that almost the entire pane of the back part of the panoramic sunroof had shattered making a huge gaping hole. I turned the car around and went home. If it was a rock or something was dropped on it the rock still would have been there on the barrier. The sunroof literally bows upward and it cracked at the seams so you can see it has definitely blown out. This is a manufacturer defect that could have caused an accident or worse if the barrier had been open and the glass had shattered on me. It is obviously made of safety glass. The explosion was very loud and ear piercing.
