On tuesday, july 21, I was at a stoplight on the corner of merrick avenue and stewart avenue in garden city, ny. While waiting for the light to turn green, there was a loud pop. I briefly left my automobile and saw that the sunroof was shattered. I turned at the light since my destination was less than a block from where the incident took place.

2005 cadillac srx ultra view glass roof exploded while driving 55 on highway route 9 south in ct. I was only car on road at the time, no other vehicle's in area, no bridges, and nothing in road. Weather was 75-80 degrees and overcast. I am certain nothing came into contact with the roof. It was closed, as was all the windows, when it just burst and exploded and glass showered down all into the cabin and on me.

Large sunroof on my 2005 cadillac srx inexplicitly shattered and caved into vehicle while travelling in light traffic. There is no evidence of foreign object causing this, nor was there the sound of impact you would expect necessary to take out a large piece of glass like this. Can't get gm to consider that this may be an equipment failure. Fortunately, the sunshade was closed or glass would have fallen on occupants gm isn't forthcoming with information about this unique roof or even who manufactures it. This is a $3,500 repair that gm won't cover or provide details of other potential incidents. Ie05-052.pco pe05-052
