Description of the problem	While driving home from vacation, 600 miles into the drive and 200 miles from home, i hear a loud bang. I look up to find that the sunroof of my car has exploded. Nothing hit the car and no debris at the instant of the explosion fell into the car. It seemed to have exploded outward but there was no evidence of what caused the explosion. Small shards of glass from around the edge of the gaping hole began to fall into the car, though the majority of the glass had flown out because i was going 65mph. I pulled over, patched the sunroof with duct tape and trash bags and continued to drive home. I will take the car to the dealership tomorrow to get it fixed. After a quick google search, i turned up that hyundai is recalling other cars because of this problem. My car has a panoramic sunroof, just like the velosters. Nhtsa, please broaden your investigation of hyundais' sunroofs to include santa fe sports too!!
