My panoramic sunroof will not close and has become unaligned in the tracks. There was a loud "Pop" sound when opening and since will not come into complete closed position without physically moving the sunroof myself. Tracks have been checked for debris and lubricated to no effect. Previous years of this same model have reported that sunroof glass have spontaneously shattered. I believe that this same design flaw is evident in my vehicle.

On November 2nd of 2023, I was driving approximately 5 miles away from home when all of a sudden the sunroof glass shattered. It sounded like an explosion of glass. I was driving at 45 miles per hour which is the speed limit in the area. It was very alarming when the sunroof glass shattered, I was nervous and thought that someone threw a rock at the car. I wasn't sure whether to stop the car or keep on driving. Thank GOD there was no traffic, otherwise it would have been a very dangerous situation. I safely pulled over into a gas station to check what had happened. There was nothing other than broken glass on top of the car. The sunroof looks like it had pressure from the bottom up.

While driving at the speed limit, 65 MPH, the sunroof suddenly exploded, sounding like a shotgun has suddenly gone off in the car. The overhead panel was closed so no glass came into the drivers area. It was a cloudy day, no rain at time of incident. I was able to pull over then drive home at a reduced speed.
