Sun Roof problems of the 2007 Toyota Scion Tc

I was driving down the freeway going 65 mph. All of the sudden I heard a really loud gunshot sound and then the middle of the sunroof exploded. All the windows, including the sunroof, were closed. I only had the visor open; when the glass broke, I had glass in my hair and all down my back. When the sunroof broke, the front piece of the sunroof flipped open as well. Looks like some took their fist and hit the sunroof from the inside of the car. The right side of my ear still hurts from the sound of the gun shot sound. My car is currently with the dealership for them to inspect it. When I called the dealership and scion corp office, they both said they have never heard of this happening on this vehicle. I find this very hard to believe as there are hundreds of postings online stating that this is becoming more and more of an issue. I thank god that my 4 year son wasn't with me at the time as glass would have gone all over him. I want scion to pay for this damage as this is a huge safety issue. I could have caused an accident or even have killed myself as glass went everywhere. Does someone need to be killed in order for someone to look at this issue? thank you in advance for your time and help with this matter.

I took the car out to my friend's house. I parked the car, went into the house. I stayed for about four hours and went to go leave and noticed glass all over the place. I went to my car and realized that the sunroof had exploded. Two of the metal bars popped off along with most of the glass. The remaining glass was spidered. I saw the car at approximatly one hour before it happened and it was fine. Because of the location of the car and the house and the people in the house I am 100% sure that nobody tampered with my car. The shade on the interior was closed and you could see that the glass exploded from the inside out. I am sure this was a defect in the sunroof.

The 2005 and 2006 Scion Tc were recalled for a defect in the wind deflector where a piece of debris hit the wind deflector at highway speeds and it would shatter. I just bought a 2007 Scion Tc last Tuesday and it did the same exact thing. I was on the freeway and I did not even see anything hit my car but I heard something, and then there was glass coming into my car through the sunroof. I have contacted scion and they had said my car is not included in the recall and to take it into the dealership. The dealership said it is not a warranted part. I should contact the parts director and he has not called me since.
