    My 2016 honda civic touring while driving approx. 60 mph on the interstate in about 60 degree weather while raining. My sunroof exploded the center portion of it which in turn damaged my drunk and if someone was behind me could have had other catastrophic events. Nothing hit my car i heard the explosion sounded like a gunshot then seen the big chunk of glass hit my trunk and heard it as well.

    I was driving straight down i-20, the only car close to me was behind me and in the other lane. There were no overpasses or potholes. There was a loud noise like a car backfire or gunshot, and i thought i must have blown a tire. I pulled over to the side of the road and discovered my moonroof had shattered - luckily the shield had been closed. Honda refused to consider that it might be a defect and said that even if…
