[xxx] 2016 kia Sorento (VIN # [xxx]) sunroof exploded while on interstate 55 northbound in jackson, ms on 10-21-15 at approx. 8:30pm cst with no traffic or obstructions or overheads. Our mileage at the time was less than 200 miles. [xxx] was driving and I was the front passenger. The roof was closed as was the cloth shield (which probably save our life). The explosion was violent like an m-80 going off. We collected some of the glass shards (which shattered into little sharp pieces which would have probably killed us) and chunks of glass on top of the shield.

Luckily, there was no rain on our remaining journey. . Read more...
