3 Sun Roof problem of the 2012 Mazda MAZDA3

Failure Date: 01/13/2014

While traveling approximately 35 - 40 mph (accelerating) on a long winding wooded rural interstate onramp, no other vehicle traffic nearby, the sunroof (closed at the time) literally buckled upward and exploded outward. It was very loud like a shotgun. At the time it happened, it gave both myself and my daughter the impression that someone had fired a gun at us and we did not stop until we reached the next exit. We were very rattled by the incident. There was definitely no previous damage to the glass and no rock or other foreign object involved. The glass that was expelled flew up and out behind the vehicle except for some glass pieces that stayed on the roof and the trunk. Very little of the approximately 8"x10" section of missing glass fell in the tray beneath. If this had happened while we were in heavy traffic at higher speeds, or even if my teenage daughter had been driving at the time, I'm not sure it wouldn't have caused a serious accident.

4 Sun Roof problem of the 2010 Mazda MAZDA3

Failure Date: 07/19/2012

Hi, this morning I was driving on my way to work when all of a sudden my entire sunroof exploded and shattered. There was nothing that hit my car, nor nothing that hit my sunroof. I was traveling at 65mph on I-25 in albuquerque, nm. Neither the sunroof nor the car have been changed in anyway from their stock form. The explosion of the sunroof was very scary and almost cause me to crash.
