Was on highway driving and all of a sudden my sun roof exploded. I did have my visor closed, so that protected me from glass coming into vehicle. Stopped at nearest dealership (out of town) and had to be covered with a covering to prevent rain coming inside.

After a short trip to the neighborhood with my toddler son in his car seat, I parked my 2022 Kia Telluride and turned off the engine, got out of the car and took my son out of his car seat. While I was trying to collect my items to get to our home, (my toddler standing waiting for me next to the driver door of the car) the car started to move backwards making a very loud noise.

Your sunroof stopped working after a warm day following winter weather in northern Illinois. You heard a crunching sound when trying to open it, and attempting to reverse it may have made the problem worse. The sunroof was working fine in the fall before winter arrived. The dealer will likely need to inspect the sunroof motor, tracks, and mechanical components to identify what caused the malfunction and determine if parts need to be replaced or repaired.
