Consumer Description

My 2022 CX5 sunroof exploded while driving on highway, glass fragments were caught by the shade so no one was injured thankfully. But this could have easily caused bodily injuries if the shade was open. The loud explosion and glass fragments could have distracted/impair the driver, leading to a serious incident. I do not suspect it is caused by impacts from debris since there was no large vehicles around me at the time of explosion and no other impact noise was heard at the same time. There are other similar incidents regarding sunroof explosion that were posted online.
