In slow moving traffic in front of the local mall, my sunroof exploded there was no collision, no object thrown or dropped into the window. Honda refused to accept responsibility for what I learned from research on line, which is that this is an epidemic involving shattered sun roofs.

Sunroof explosion: new honda cr-v with only 4,420 miles. The sunroof exploded while driving down a state highway at 70mph. No cars or trucks were directly in front of me and no rocks or debris were found by the service repair in remaining shattered glass. Luckily I did not have the sunroof open so the glass particles did not fly into the passenger area, but cars behind me slowed as some glass particles flew from the roof. Honda replaced the sunroof under warrantee but exploding sunroofs are disorienting to the driver and not safe to passengers or other car drivers who catch the flying glass particles.

We were driving on a highway when we suddenly heard a large explosion. We thought something had hit us. By god's grace, no other vehicles were near us. After we recovered from the shock we realized that a large noise was coming from above. In fact, the sunroof had exploded. When we got off the road we found that 70% of the glass was gone. There were no vehicles near us, and certainly nothing above us.

While driving @ 35 MPH on the parkway I heard a loud pop coming from the roof area of the car. I then open to sunroof screen to find the glass was shattered but did not see any tree branch in site. The roof have no dent or scratch on it with was weird. I did some research and found out it could be "exploding sunroof" issue.
