2017 Toyota Prius UNKNOWN OR OTHER

While driving the speed limit of 70mph on a major highway, the sunroof on my 2017 Toyota Prius exploded. There was no warning of any kind: no other traffic nearby so no rock or debris from another vehicle; no overpass or bridge so nothing from above; it was a mild sunny day of 76 degrees so not a weather factor; and by the angle of the glass that remains being in an outward position rather than inward, reveals to me that it was from inside out, not from outside in as if it were a rock hitting. It just exploded. I was the only person in the car. Thankfully, the visor was shut on it or the shattered glass would have caused injury and of greater serious concern is just the sudden sound of what sounded like a bomb going off over my head was enough to cause a reaction which easily would result in an accident. It was a terrifying experience! I was lucky no other vehicles were nearby and could react and safely get off the road. I called 911 immediately and reported it. I have read many such claims from other Toyota owners online (see ToyotaNation.com and search by "exploding Sunroof") and even from a technician at my nearby Toyota Collision Center that it just happened to a friend of theirs also. This is not a one time issue. When I took the car to the Collision Center for an estimate and inquired about the damage, they could find no recall on it by Toyota. This is certainly a dangerous and hazardous issue that needs to be addressed asap before someone is seriously hurt or there is a fatality.

I PULLED UP TO THE STOP SIGN, THEN PROCEEDED TO GO AND I HAD NO POWER. I SAT THERE FOR 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE THE ACCELERATOR KICKED IN. IT SHOOK ME UP. I PROCEEDED ON AND THEN IT AGAIN HAPPENED. I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WHEN THE LIGHT GREEN I HAD NO ACCELERATION POWER AT ALL. PEOPLE WERE HONKING AND YELLING AT ME. IT WAS VERY SCARY. AFTER WHAT SEEMED TO BE AN ETERNITY, THE ACCELERATOR KICKED IN AND I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED. I HAD IT TOWED TO TOYOTA DEALER, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP.
