Consumer Description

While I was driving on the highway at 60 mph the glass sunroof exploded with a loud bang. Luckily the sunroof shade was closed, otherwise shards of glass would have fallen on me causing injury and possible loss of control of the car. I immediately reported the incident to my insurance company and the next day brought the car into the Mazda dealership. The service manager claims he never heard of sun roofs exploding and there were no outstanding recalls on sunroofs. I left the car at the dealer for further inspection by Mazda.
