| Description of the problem | While driving over a bridge - the sunroof part of my moon roof exploded. The weather wasn't even hot / humid - about 85 degrees outside at the time. When i was able to pull over to see what happened - my sunroof was completed shattered with the edges still attached - but a hole over 12-inches in diameter was blown out and glass partials were dropped into the shade cover that covers the moon roof as my ceiling. The hyundai dealership has only concluded that they will replace the glass with the same part and was not able to say if this issue would / could happen again. |
