While driving straight at approximately 35 mph on a 34 degree day on a clear road, we heard a loud noise from the roof. We pulled over and saw that the sun roof had spontaneously ruptured and exploded outward. Luckily the sliding door to the sun roof was closed. When examining the sun roof, there was no evidence of anything hitting the car. In fact the roof rack bar was right over the new "hole" in the glass sunroof and would have proteted the glass from a falling object. The sunroof was puckered "out" and glass was scattered on the exterior of the car not within the sunroof compartment. It appear to have spontaneously exploded without external damage.
The hood opened on my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek while driving causing extensive damage. Curious about other reports and who to contact at Subaru?.
Hood latch disengaged without warning while traveling 60mph on a highway. This caused severe hood and windshield damage and complete loss of visibility. This could have easily ended in fatality.
