| Description of the problem | I was driving the vehicle at about 45 mph, temperature about 80 degrees f, with the sunroof closed, when suddenly the sunroof exploded. This vehicle has a panoramic sunroof. The front section exploded, sending shards of glass all over inside the vehicle. Fortunately, we were able to safely pull over and call hyundai roadside assistance. Unfortunately, they couldn't help us , so we vacuumed up the glass and put a tarp on the roof. Vehicle is currently at the dealership where hyundai is replacing the roof under warranty. There was absolutely no object which impacted the roof; it just exploded! |
