Mercedes-Benz E300 sunroof explosion issue reported by multiple users on Mercedes-Benz E300

Some Mercedes-Benz E300 owners report experiencing issues with panoramic sunroofs that suddenly shatter under normal driving conditions, leading to potential harm for both drivers and passengers. These explosions can occur without any external objects impacting the glass, startling those inside the vehicle. Some owners describe the sound of the glass breaking as akin to a shotgun blast, with shards exploding outward. The E300, along with other models, has been implicated in a class action lawsuit regarding the propensity of these sunroofs to explode or crack unexpectedly. Additionally, Mercedes-Benz has recalled 33,000 vehicles in the US due to faulty sunroof bonding issues, which have affected various models including the E-Class. These incidents underscore the seriousness of the sunroof explosion problem and the need for prompt resolution.
