| Description of the problem | On 7/17/18, my sunroof shattered without warning, while going the speed limit, 55mph. There were no cars in front of me and nothing above me. The glass projected outward, confirming that nothing fell from the sky or came up from the road as glass would have blown down or to the rear if it had been impacted by an object. I have filed a report with hyundai's national customer service line and filing a complaint here in hopes something is done about this scary issue. Research has shown multiple reports and a lawsuit of this happening, unprovoked and could cause an accident of serious harm if not investigated. Thankfully the liner protected me from the falling glass and the car behind me slow down after the explosion if glass allowing me to exit the highway safely. Please investigate before someone is seriously injured from this unexpectedly happening to them. Car manufacturers need to be held accountable. |
