while driving, the sunroof made a loud explosion and shattered everywhere.

Driving local freeway, 65 degrees and sunny, light traffic.... Loud impact sound but no cars in our immediate vicinity, nothing in the roadway. Once stopped, examined car and found the large panoramic sunroof had spontaneously exploded. Sunroof cover was in place so no glass fell into passenger compartment, thankfully. Pictures available. No inspection by dealer or insurance. No prior indications of any issues. No weather extremes at the time. No impact from any external or internal object could be found. Remaining glass in sunroof bulges upwards slightly

I was driving my vehicle to work with the sunroof closed and the sun visor open when suddenly I heard a loud bang, like a gunshot, and my sunroof shattered. It scared me and nearly caused me to run off the road; thankfully there were no other cars anywhere near me. I am certain it wasn't hit by a rock or something as there were no cars in front of me and also I wasn't near any overpasses. Upon research, this issue seems to be common with toyota, so I contacted toyota motor corporation through their customer service line. After a couple follow up calls, toyota basically said it was not their problem and nothing they could do. I'm lucky this didn't cut me up or cause me to crash. Hopefully this doesn't keep happening.

While entering the interstate I was approaching about 60 MPH when all of a sudden I hear a very loud pop! I was startled thinking someone had shot a gun! It caused me to slow down and to almost be rear ended. I looked up to find my sunroof had exploded for no apparent reason.

2 weeks after buying a 2010 toyota venza the sunroof exploded with no reason. There was no scratch marks. It was something from inside out. In my opinion it was caused by the heat. The car was parked outside exposed to sun all day. Toyota at first refused to pay the repair. But now they are replacing the sunroof but still without checking the reason for the incident. The noise was so strong and could have caused a major accident.
