What owners wrote
Our sunroof exploded while we were driving 55MPH on a windy road. Sounded like a rifle shot. No cliffs above us. No dramatic temp or pressure changed. Seemed like a spontaneous event.
On the 4th day of ownership a horizontal crack appeared in windshield originating from the passenger side windshield column. Within the first month, a second crack also appeared originating from the center top of the windshield, traveling vertically. The windshield therefore had to be replaced within the first month of ownership. No issues with the non-mazda windshield.
