| Description of the problem | The panoramic sun roof exploded while the car was parkerd and engine runningthe tempature was 77 degrees. After some internet follow up it seems this is the #1 problem in canada and there has been and on going class action lawsuit in the usa for the past 5 years. Both the dealership and huyndai knew of the problem and it was fix under warranty, 1year old with 9000 miles. Had this happened a freeway speed we probally would have been killed along with others. They are replacing the glass roofs with the same glass roofs with no fixes done hyundai and sister company kia have know of this problem since before the class action suit started in 2012 and have send bullittens to dealerships but no recalls this is a major saftey issue and needs to be investigated and not just covered up by the car companys.

This happened november 11, 2017 the car was bought in the usa kept in the usa by usa citizens |
