On june 21, 2019 my family was returning home from the beach (pcb), and about 3 hours into the trip on us 431 north, around 1 pm we heard a loud boom or pop on the roof. Sound like a shot gun according to wife. We pulled over and sunroof had 16 inch seem crack across the sunroof. One side of cracked glass was raised about 1/4 inch. We continued to drive 25 MPH on shoulder as we where in nowhere, alabama. About 3 or 4 minutes later we stopped and 1 x 4" glass hole in sunroof.

While traveling northbound on mountain view corridor at approximately 55 MPH the sunroof in my 2014 honda odyssey exploded. I have traveled this road many times, it was a beautiful day with mild temperatures and light traffic. I bought this odyssey new. It currently has just over 69,000 miles on it. There were no homes, businesses, parking lots, or anything of the kind around me. No overpasses, power lines or otherwise. There is no explanation for the explosion. I heard a loud pop that I thought was a gunshot or large something hitting my car. I pulled off the road, turned on my hazards, and felt something hit my arm. I looked up to see that the sunroof had shattered. I've never heard of anything like this before. After reading online that many others had had similar experiences I felt like I needed to report it in hopes that others might not have to have the same scary experience (which could have ended much worse), inconvenience, and expense.

Exploding sun roof. Vehicle was in motion on expressway traveling east. Loud explosion heard over vehicle. After pulling over an inspection revealed that sunroof had shattered, but due to interior cover closed no glass fell inside. Vehicle was taken into a repair shop after reporting incident to insurance company. Repair shop technician advised that he had recently encountered same situation on a 2015 honda odyssey van with a damaged sun roof which appeared to have just popped off. Have contacted honda dealership to see if there has been a recall on this issue and am awaiting a response if covered under warranty.

Driving west on I 80 at 70 MPH. All of a sudden there was a loud gunshot sound. Moved the sunroof shade and saw shattered glass. There was nothing around for a flying object. Had to stop at honda dealer in lincoln to have plastic put on to protect from rain. I called insurance when home in wisconsin and had it repaired. The shape of the glass looked as if it exploded from inside toward out. Have since watched news about this problem on abc news.

While driving down the freeway in houston, tx on a hot summer day the sunroof exploded outward. It made a loud crack followed by several smaller cracks. The glass shattered into little pieces. Fortunately the sunscreen cover was closed or we would have suffered faces full of shattered glass, there is no evidence of any other damage to the car such as a brick being thrown at it.
