SAME THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME THIS PAST WEEKEND!!! I have a GX 470, year 2006, and I was driving on an overpass - no bridges over me, no large trucks next to me - and all of a sudden, a VERY loud POP! Made me jump. I didn't realize what had happened because my sunroof shade was closed. I checked all my windows because it sounded like a window was open. All windows were shut. Then I realized that the sunroof had shattered…not cracked…there was a HUGE hole in the middle of the sunroof. Couldn't believe it. Scared the daylights out of me. My car is in the shop today. Lexus better cover this costs, especially now that I see others across the internet have had the same issue. Unbelievable. Thank goodness the sunroof shade was closed. With my 17 month old right there in his car seat, who knows how much glass would have covered him and he could have possibly eaten it.
