Srx was driven earlier in the day without incident. Parked at home, then 6 hours later car door opened and panoramic sunroof main panel exploded, the shattered glass was caught by the retractable headliner.

I was driving my srx back to work on airport rd in waterford michigan at 40mph. There was no traffic within view of me when all of the sudden my sunroof exploded dropping glass all over my interior and myself. I was unharmed other than a few very small pieces scratching my arm. I looked on the internet to find that this has happened to other owners however when I and other have called gm to discuss the problem we all get the same answer."I have never heard of that happening" I believe that this is yet another manufacturer problem with gm and they are dodging it.

I was at dick russell's in the restaurant waiting for my daughter and son-in-law, so we could have supper. We had been there about 5 - 10 minutes, 2 waitress came in and asked if we owned the cadillac, I said yes, waitress said your moon roof just exploded. I am so glad we were not in the car when it exploded.

Driving home slowly, 25 MPH, the moonroof shattered. Fortunately,the glass was caught by the sun fabric screen, however, it was extremely distracting and frightful. There were no prior cracks, wear marks, nor signs of wear, nor fallen objects. This could have caused a terrible accident.

Car was parked in garage and the moonroof was opened earlier in the day with no issues. There were no cracks at all in the moonroof and no rocks had hit the vehicle. As the car was parked in our garage with our 1 year old daughter still in her car seat and my husband and I were at the front of the garage, the moonroof shattered and the glass got all over the interior of the car. Again, there were no signs of glass and or wear on the actual moonroof during the day. Cadillac's moonroof department stated that it may have been due to a temperature change. This is ridiculous since we live in new hampshire and the weather was a perfect 64 degrees and our garage was around 75. You assume that the glass in your car could withstand most situations. This could have been a major incident if we would have been driving on the highway when this happened and there are 6 other known cases of this on the safely website. I uploaded a video at http://youtu.be/uuecqcob0og .

While driving north on i75 going roughly 70mph around 5:30pm est and when the sunroof shattered on my 2008 cadillac srx. There was no one ahead of me close enough that would have cause degree to debris to fly up and break it.

While in a locked garage overnight the middle glass panel of the sunroof shattered and tossed glass pieces all over the top of the car and the garage floor on both sides of the car. Nothing had dropped or hit the roof panels that would have caused it to shatter.
