It was 46 outside when i was driving down i-10. my sunroof exploded with no apparent cause. only car on interstate at the time. not passing under overpass or following behind any vehicle that could've thrown rocks. the break in the sunroof was in an upward fashion, as if it broke from the inside out (as if related to increased pressure). the piece of glass that was broken was a large sheet, still intact. it seems if an outside obstacle (such as a rock or debris) would've caused the sunroof to shatter, the glass would've been in many more pieces/shards. i took it to my dealer who said it 'must have' been a rock and they wanted me to file an insurance claim. after i refused, they offered me a 'good will warranty' to cover the cost but never did admit that this issue was more than likely related to a manufacturer defect.

2017 acura mdx. consumer writes in regards to warning "beeps" volume issues. *smd the consumer stated the volume of the warning beeps needed to be increased. if the radio was on and a call came in, the radio volume would automatically shut off until the phone call ended. *jb
