My sunroof exploded spontaneously while driving my vehicle down the interstate. Nothing hit my car or sunroof. It just exploded. I was told that because it was a hot day and that I was running my air conditioner, that glass can "swell and break on its own". The sunroof was closed at the time. It was terrifying, I thought I had been shot. I was covered in glass as was my car. It has since been replaced, but I drive in fear of it happening again.

I was driving ~60 MPH on a new/smooth highway (I-60 in mesa) that was empty (no cars were in front of me for at least 2 miles). The sunroof/panoramic-roof suddenly shattered (exploded) and the glass flew everywhere. Glass fell on my head, everywhere in the car and even damaged the car antenna and spoiler (on the outside of the car). The temperature was ~60 degrees f, there were no rocks/debris flying around and the car was driving smoothly (no bumps on the road). The dealership is telling me a rock hit it (even though there is no evidence) and are making me cover the repairs! This is not right.
