ON MY 2018 HONDA PILOT - EXL, THE SUNROOF EXPLODED TWICE (SHATTERED). THE FIRST TIME WAS ON FEB 2018 AND THE SECOND TIME WAS ON JULY 2018.
THE MOONROOF SHATTERED EXPLODING GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS ON A HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 60MPH. THERE WAS JUST A LOUD NOISE AND BOOM. WE OWNED THE CAR JUST FOUR MONTHS AND IT HAS ONLY 6,200 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT.
WHILE DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY, TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, I HEARD A LOUD 'POP' AND SAW DEBRIS FLY IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE, BUT FOUND MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THERE WERE NO ROCKS, PROJECTILES, ETC, AND NO OVERHEAD STRUCTURES WHERE SOMETHING COULD HAVE FALLEN. THE GLASS BLEW OUT AS IT MAY HAVE BEEN UNDER STRESS AND NOT IN AS IF SOMETHING MAY HAVE HIT IT.
