I was traveling around 70mph on a busy interstate when I heard a loud sound, similar to a shotgun blast. I then immediately began to hear glass shattering. It was then that I realized my sunroof was literally shattering into millions of pieces.

Sunroof shattered by model year
What owners say
I was driving my 2014 nissan altima with my 2 year old in the car on the highway when my sunroof shattered, sounding like a gun shot. I had the sunroof replaced shortly after purchasing my car in 2014 for leaks. I haven't had any problems since until today (9/5/18). We were traveling on us 75n near collins road at the time of the incident. I'm not aware of anything that would have caused this random occurrence.
While driving approx 65 MPH, was startled by large booming crash from roof of my car. Upon pulling over and examining it was apparent that the sunroof had exploded. There was no evidence of a rock or other object hitting the sunroof, and no other automobile had been in close enough proximity to flip up a rock or other object. Dealer acknowledged they have had a handful of other people come in with unexplained shattering of sunroofs.
