NHTSA Complaint #10971984 — 2016 MAZDA CX-5

DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 63 MPH, HEAT WAS ON IN VEHICLE, ALL WINDOWS CLOSED. VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. HUGE EXPLOSION IN CABIN, GLASS FLYING ALL OVER. I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY, FOUND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WITH THE SUNSHADE PARTITION OPEN. THE GLASS WAS PROTRUDING UPWARD. NO INDICATIONS OF A ROCK OR OTHER ITEM STRIKING THE WINDOW. WE HAD GLASS SHARDS IN OUR SCALP THAT WE PICKED OUT AFTER REPEATED WASHINGS. OUR HANDS WERE CUT TRYING TO CLEAR OUT THE REMAINING BROKEN GLASS. NO PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH THE SUNROOF. THE SUNROOF HADN'T BEEN USED THE DAY OF THE EXPLOSION.
