SUNROOF EXPLODED - I WAS TRAVELLING AT APPROX. 60MPH ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND THE SUNROOF EXPLODED CAUSING SMALL PIECES OF GLASS TO FALL INTO THE VEHICLE.
WHILE BACKING MY 2014 KIA SPORTAGE OUT OF MY GARAGE, I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. IT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE A TIRE BLOWOUT. UPON INSPECTION, ALL 4 TIRES WERE FINE. THE ENTIRE FRONT SEPARATE PORTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED / SHATTERED.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE 91 FREEWAY ON SATURDAY FEB 28TH THE SUNROOF BLEW OUT ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT - DON'T HAVE ANY REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED NOTHING HIT THE CAR IT JUST SIMPLY BLEW OUT AND SHATTERED GLASS ALL OVER THE BACK SEATS AND THE CARS DRIVING BEHIND ME. I ALMOST VEERED INTO THE NEXT LANE AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR COLLISION. *TR
MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. I HAD JUST ENTERED THE HIGHWAY (THERE WAS NO OVERPASS NEAR ME) MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. I HEARD A LOUD POP LIKE A GUN SHOT AND GLASS RAINED DOWN ON ME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND DROVE IT IN. THERE WAS NO DETERMINATION AS TO THE CAUSE. DEALERSHIP HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE SUNROOF. HAD TO CLAIM ON MY INSURANCE AND PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE - ROUGHLY TOTAL REPAIR COST WAS 1200.00. *JS
