What owners wrote
I departed my house and got onto the west park toll way. After driving for a few miles, I heard like an explosion. Under panic, I realized that the sunroof had shattered. I was traveling at about 65MPH and no one was ahead of me or adjacent to me. There was a pickup truck behind me about safe following distance.
The sliding sun visor on the panoramic sunroof has become detached from its frame on the passenger side. The sliding visor material now droops into cabin with possible obstruction of visibility to outside areas.
