I was driving southbound on us highway 141in wisconsin, just north of the lineville rd exit. I was going the speed limit approx. 70 MPH. The temp. Was in the 60s and the sky was overcast with no precip. There was little traffic and I was on a flat stretch of road with no vehicles directly in front or behind. There was no construction and/or road equipment in sight. I had not driven under any structures. Suddenly my sunroof exploded above my head. The sunroof was closed and the interior screen was pulled shut. I did not see any objects or animals, only glass flying in the rearview mirror. It was a terrifying sound, like a shotgun blast. I pulled off at the nearest exit in a towing area and saw that there was a big hole in the glass and shards of shattered glass on top of the interior screen, which had been pulled shut. I called 911 and explained what happened. Two brown county wis. Officers came and looked at the damage and assessed there had not been any kind of gun shot. The officers documented the call. I was forced to drive holding the inside screen with one hand holding it shut, so it would not blow open, for approximately 40 miles to meet my husband and switch cars.I felt very unsafe and was shaken, as I had never experienced anything like this before. I have read, online, that there have been many other similar incidents and I believe it is a toyota manufacturing defect and safety issue. I called toyota and reported the incident but they said my car did not qualify for any current "programs" and it was my responsibility to repair. Fortunately I was not cut by glass, but was badly shaken to the point of feeling nauseated for hours afterwards.

My vehicle was parked in front of my house and the sunroof exploded/shattered. My car was brand new when I got it a year ago. I'm not sure if it had a defective glass or what. I do recall it was a hot day though. However, how come the sunroof glass is not made out of laminated glass as the windshield. Thank goodness I was not driving at that time. We should definitely have sunroof safety standards.

Driving at 50mph when I heard a loud "pop" at first I thought it was a gunshot. I continued to drive only to hear a rattling noise, I slid back the sunroof cover to notice the sunroof had exploded. I contacted toyota USA to no avail, only to be told they have no recalls. I googled the 2014 toyota camry exploding, low and behold there were several other complaints identical to mine!
