NHTSA Complaint #10981632 — 2016 MAZDA CX-5

SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS HAPPENED ON 4/30 AT AROUND 10:30AM, 280 SOUTHBOUND ABOUT 1/2 MILE BEFORE THE MILLBRAE EXIT. SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD BOMB NOISE THEN FOUND OUT MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED INTO MANY PIECES. I HAD THE SHADE OPENED ABOUT 2 INCHES, SOME OF THE GLASS PIECES GOT BLOWN INTO THE CABIN. ONE PIECE OF THE GLASS PIERCE INTO THE ARMREST. THERE WERE NO OVERPASS, OR LARGE TRUCK AROUND MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I COULD BE 100% SURE IT WASN'T HIT BY ANY EXTERNAL OBJECT. MY WIFE, MY 10MONTH OLD SON AND I WERE IN THE CAR. IF THE SHADE WAS FULLY OPENED, THE SHATTERED GLASS PIECES WOULD HAVE GOT INTO OUR FACE AND EYES. OR EVEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILL MY 10 MONTHS OLD SON. I HAVE FOUND ONLINE THERE ARE MANY CASES OF SUNROOF EXPLODING. PLEASE NHTSA, YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE MASS AND PUT PRESSURE ON THE MANUFACTURERS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
