Sunroof exploded like a gun shot while traveling on the freeway 60 mph. had just entered express lane and found it very disorienting and distracting since i thought i had been shot at. had to check all the windows and my person for glass or injury before i looked up and saw the large hole in the sunroof. sunroof glass appears to be protruding outward - like it was pushed out from the interior. not all the glass chips recovered inside the car appear to equal the area of the hole in the sunroof.
In the first incident dated 1/27/2014, the blade holder broke off the ignition key. my vw dealer replaced the ignition key under warranty. in the second incident dated 7/23/2015 (62800 miles), the key blade holder broke off again, all of a sudden, while i was driving. obviously, the key blade remained inside the ignition switch, while the remote part of the key fell off. i was not far from home so i could drive back and extract the key blade easily with nose pliers. i contacted the dealership and they stated i have to talk to vw america for a key replacement. i was hinted that other owners had similar problems. i believe the steel used for the blade holder (it's like a casing) is brittle and fatigues abnormally.
