| Description of the problem | On july 10th, 2017 around 6:30 pm pst; while driving on highway 5 west around tracy, ca, the panoramic sunroof shattered with a very loud noise. Glass pieces scattered all over. Remaining piece of the glass around the roof is clearly visible raised outward (convex shaped) as it blew up. Evidently there has been similar incidents/complaints. Hyundai motors must not have sold this car to us as they knew about this problem with their cars. My family could have got into serious accident. I am still shaken up as a result of this incident. |
