| Description of the problem | I was driving down the road. There were not any other cars near me. My sunroof literally exploded! It sounded like a gunshot went off. The glass seemed to have disappeared into thin air! I posted on facebook how crazy this is and i started receiving information from friends how this is common with hyundais. The dealership will not even consider that it may be a defect, despite me finding several santa fe owners that have had their sunroofs replaced because of this. |
