1 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2019

I was driving on the highway on my way to work not following anyone closely. I did not go under any overpasses or trees and I had my sunroof closed with the shade visor open at the time. All of a sudden my sunroof exploded out of nowhere (loud boom) and a large amount of glass fell on me into the vehicle. Luckily, there was no one near me on either side and I kept my composure until I pulled over on the side of the highway to look and clear the glass from my seat and the passenger seat. When I inspected the sunroof glass, it looked like some of the broken pieces are forced in an upwards manner as if due to pressure or temperature fluctuation. I checked over the rest of my vehicle and there are numerous chips and deep scratches from the glass that damaged my roof, sharkfin antenna, and my trunk area which I will need to have repaired to avoid rust. I was completely surprised by this incident and got a few small cuts on my hands from cleaning the glass off so I could drive back home. I have dashcam footage (that can be provided as well) of me driving during this occurrence and I was not able to find anything that would have hit the sunroof to damage it in such a way. There were also no objects that went into my car's cabin following the breakage. I was reading over other similar reported issues and this appears to be a problem that is spread across various makes and models throughout the years. This is definitely a factory defect that needs to be taken care of and covered by manufacturers as it is a safety issue.
