Buick Enclave sunroof shattered problems

Filed Oct 12, 2026 · VA

The front sunroof shattered spontaneously while I was driving down a 4-lane highway at about 63 MPH. It sounded like an explosion or loud gunshot. I was not near any other vehicles or under any trees. Temperature outside was about 75 and I did not have on the AC at the time. Fortunately the shade was drawn so I was not showered in glass.

The sunroof exploded without warning. Driving 57 MPH on a 55 MPH road, it was a sunny day, there were no cars around me and there were open fields on both sides of me. My daughter (17-years old) was starring up at the sunroof when the sunroof exploded.....And it sounded like a gunshot. Manufacturer would not warranty the sunroof as I could not prove the glass was not broken by an object.

We were on a trip home from the Holidays about 400 miles away when we heard a huge explosion! The front sunroof exploded and rained glass all over us. It was a clear night with no other cars around. We had to pull over and find something to cover over the sunroof because it was so loud and shooting bits of glass all over us and our dog. We made it home. We are still waiting on insurance to fix it. This really scared us.

8am, Stopped at intersection. Light traffic. Green light, increased speed to 15 mph, turning left and sunroof explodes. Luckily inside shade cover was closed so no glass was able to come down.

While driving my car in normal weather/temperature conditions, the driver side sunroof literally exploded. There was a very loud bang, like someone fired a gun next to my head, and initially I thought someone had shot out one of my car windows with a gun. Upon seeing it was the sunroof I then thought an object had falled through the sunroof window. However, upon inspection, the sunroof window glass was actually blown from the inside out. See attached photographs. There was no prior apparent damage/crack/chip to the sunroof glass or mechanism. There was no sudden change in weather, internal or external temperature or pressure inside the car at the time of the explosion.

I was driving on a state highway with open fields on both sides. There were no other cars or trucks on the road. Clear blue sky and the temperature was about 50 degrees. No windows were open in the car. I was on cruise control at 62 MPH. There was what I can only describe as an explosion sound something close to the sound of a 45acp pistol discharge.. Luckily I had the sun screen closed or I would have had glass everywhere. The front sunroof had exploded and there was a 18" hole in the middle of it. The force of the break went up, meaning the edge of the broken glass was raised about an inch and a half above the rest of the glass and window frame. That kind of a break is caused by stress not from something like a stone hitting it.. The car was purchased in august so the car is only 4 months old. I immediately drove the car to bergstrom motors in green bay, wisconsin, for them to fix it. They took pictures. Service managers name is [xxx]. He has all the information. There is no police report. [xxx] got back with me today, december 10, 2020, and told me buick would not pay for the repairs because it's glass. I was told the repair would be about $1000. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was driving 70 MPH on I-80 and heard a loud popping sound, like a balloon popping but louder. The kids noticed that the moonroof was shattered. We took pictures and there is no point of impact. It doesn't appear anything hit the vehicle, and no vehicles were close enough to us to have had any impact. The glass made a lot of cracklings sounds and pieces started to fly off of the car before we could safely exit the interstate. We stopped at a gas station and decided we had no choice but to get back on the road and find a walmart to get supplies to cover the moonroof. After getting back on the interstate the glass started making the crackling noise and glass flew off in large chunks. We were again forced to exit and remove all of the glass from the frame.

I was driving on a highway 6 in waterloo indiana and my sunroof exploded and the entire glass was shattered and had a huge hole. The explosion was like a short gun going off. I thought some one shot or threw something but there was no overpass. I called the police just to make sure and a report was filed
