Description of the problem | While driving on 414 maitland, out of no where i heard a loud "pow!" though i didn't feel like it, i thought a bird or meteorite or street light cover had fallen from the sky and landed on my vehicle. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a black square object fall from the sky and the car behind swerve out of its way. At that point i could hear small pieces of something bouncing around in the pocket between the moon roof and the cover, and rolling on, over and off of the my car. I pulled over to investigate the matter more thoroughly, expecting to see a dead bird, blood & feathers, or a rock, or a street light cover sitting in the area where my moon roof glass use to be, instead i found a huge gaping hole(approx. 12" x 17" in the middle of my moon rood and the remainder of the glass around the perimeter of the hole arched like a hill. I determined that the "pow!" i heard was the glass exploding, and the black piece of something that was falling from the sky in my rear view was the portion of glass. I it was cloudy and looked like it might ran, so i immediately went to the nearest shop (publix) and bought a box of 2 mil contractor garage bags, some shipping tape and taped one of the bags of the top of the vehicle. I then retraced my path i the interstate to make sure that something didn't fall from the sky and that the glass had in fact exploded. I found nothing, except the shards of glass that was once my moon roof. I then went home, parked the car and began research "exploding moon roof". Come to find out this is not an alien occurrence and specifically with this manufacturer, year, make & model. Https://www. Bogleheads. Org/forum/viewtopic. Php? T=171365 http://www. Carcomplaints.
