1 Sun Roof problem

Failure Date: 03/31/2014

I was traveling at 70mph on freeway with no other cars around me when sunroof imploded/exploded. Glass flew all around inside the vehicle as well as outside onto the roadway. Clear day and 60 degrees outside. Most people would just continue to drive as I did, but I could see how a person could easily lost control and cause an accident.

2 Sun Roof problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2013

While accelerating to 70 mph on an on-ramp to I-40, I heard a very loud pop. I had my sunroof completely open (withdrawn into vehicle roof) and windows down at the time. After hearing the loud pop, I checked to see if a rock had struck my windshield, and could find no evidence of such. When I went to close my sunroof, I looked up to see that the glass had completely shattered in-place. I was able to completely close the sunroof and pull the internal cover closed, and pulled off the highway. The vehicle was immediately towed to a Mazda dealership, who is contacting Mazda to work on the source of the problem.
