| 2009 mini cooper. driving on hwy.101 with flow of traffic (65-70 mph) with windows up. the road is clear and flat (i.e., no construction). the back sunroof just exploded, sending fragment shards of glass blowing into my car. drove to nearest gas station and covered the gaping hole in the sunroof. when i got home, i noticed that all edges of the broken glass point outward. i did not hit anything for this to have happened. the explosion was instantaneous and frightening. i don't know if any glass hit other cars. *tr | |||

| I stopped at a grocery store on the way home from work at approx. 6:30pm on 11/17/11. i parked the car, turned off the ignition and locked it. when i exited the store approximately 13-15 minutes later, i found the car a smoldering shell surrounded by firefighters. it appeared to have spontaneously gone up in flames. firefighters could not determine a cause. there was no indication of any problems with the car prior to this incident (car performed normally and there were no alarm or flash indicators on the console suggesting a problem.) | |||
