While sitting in my Jeep with the car off, I hear a very loud audible pop. It scared me enough to get out and look around. The sunroof completely shattered.

Sunroof suddenly shattered on interstate 90. Nothing hit or fell on the car. Looks as if excessive pressure in the cabin exploded the glass sunroof out.

I was driving on a clear sunny day on a fairly open freeway when my sunroof spontaneously exploded. There was a very large bang that sounded like a gunshot and the glass shattered. Fortunately I had the shade guard closed, otherwise it would have rained down on me. I am very confident it was not a rock or something hitting the sunroof. Had the glass fallen on me, I could easily have gotten it in my eyes and lost control of the car and potentially caused an accident.

My wife was driving her vehicle on the highway at 60 mph and heard a loud pop in her vehicle and came to realize the back portion of her panoramic sunroof spontaneously exploded. She did not have her sunroof open at the time and the roof shade was closed thank God. There were no other cars around her when it happened and nothing that could have fallen on her sunroof due to her driving on an open highway. If her shade was open, it could've have been very dangerous if there were people in the back seat and getting hit with glass falling on them. Plus the initial shock and noise could've have made her get in an accident causing harm to others or herself.

The single pane sunroof exploded while parked. Glass shattered everywhere. The shadeguard was closed at the time and prevented glass from getting to the interior of the car. This happened in the overnight hours and nothing was seen on the video camera monitoring the cars to cause this. No objects were found near the car or inside the sunroof area. I have called my insurance company and was directed to a glass company who has told me they do not fix sunroofs and that my insurance company will call me regarding my claim but I have not heard back from them. I am expecting to pay for this myself. I have owned the car for 2 years. The temperature was excessively high outside during this time but this was overnight and under large trees with shading and not in direct sunlight. The car had not been driven for at least 2 days before this incident nor had it been moved from the location.

We were driving on the highway to maryland for thanksgiving, and while driving on the straight highway 60 miles an hour the sunroof just exploded and shattered, a lot of glass fell on top of our clothes and inside the car. It completely swerved the car but we didn't lose control and stopped at a gas station on one of the rest stops.

Driving down the highway no obstacles or anything around us and the sunroof exploded. It sounded like a gunshot. Pieces of glass started falling down on my wife and I. We drove it straight to the dealer. Lucky the vehicle had a sunscreen because large pieces started falling on the way. The service manager is checking to see if it is under warranty!

Sunroof shattered while driving down highway on 2015 jeep grand cherokee. Sound of large crack then it shattered. Took it to certified jeep service provider (ancira jeep, san antonio, tx) and paul, the service manager, said he had never seen anything like this and something must have hit it. There's no way it would have just exploded. Nothing hit it - it shattered due to excessive heat. I have called jeep, who says they must stand behind the recommendation of the dealer and it is not a safety issue or faulty product issue. It is my responsibility to fix.
