| Description of the problem | Driving on the highway, 65mph i heard a loud bang as if something hit the car. However, this was not the case. I look up that back fixed panel to the panoramic moonroof, the back pain of glass had cracked into a "million little pieces" but still remained intact. The back seat was noted to have numerous glass shavings all over. Upon further inspection when i pulled over, there was a hole no bigger than a dime shape. This hole, assuming was the point of impact, was located on the back of the second panel, near where the glass meets the sheet metal. Assuming that a piece of debris hit it, i had it fixed as a glass claim through my insurance. Upon further research, it seems that this will be the second complaint for this model year, with another hyundai model with an active recall for the same issue. |
