2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee: sunroof shattered

Filed Jul 29, 2023 · CA

We were driving on the freeway doing about 70mph when without warning the glass sunroof exploded. Not knowing what had happened we pulled over and opened the shade slider and glass rained into the vehicle. Had the shade not been closed, all the passengers would have been hit with flying glass. We did not see anything that would indicate something hit the vehicle; it seemed to just explode for no reason.

The sunroof on my 2014 jeep grande cherokee srt spontaneously exploded as I was driving 70mph on interstate 5 in oregon. Traffic was minimal at 3:45 pm. It was 54 degrees outside and the weather was clear. It had rained earlier in the day. The explosion sounded like a gunshot blast in my ear. It was very scary and extremely dangerous. There was absolutely no warning, no cracks, no leaks. I did have the automatic cover open to let light in, but the sunroof itself was closed. The glass exploded up and out, so I am fortunate that I only had a dusting of glass that fell around me. Definitely, the most frightening experience I have ever had while driving.
