Description of the problem	On 4/17/09 at about 2pm, i was traveling in a 2007 hyundai sonata southbound at 70mph on i-75 in florida between sr64 and sr70. Smooth traffic flow, no road hazards, bumps, potholes or debris. Weather 80 degrees, overcast. I had my ac on, windows closed and sunroof/sunshade closed when "boom" i heard an explosion above my head followed by the sound of wind. Startled, i immediately pulled over, got out and saw that my sunroof had literally exploded upward, with the shattered rim edges intact. Thank god i had my sunshade closed or i might have had glass fly into my eyes, blinding me and causing a catastrophic accident. I drove home and put a tarp on it because it was overcast and i was afraid of rain damage. I have used the sunroof on almost every day without incident, grinding noise, leak or concerns of any kind. I sincerely believe that this sunroof explosion was caused by a structural or mechanical defect from the manufacturer that could have lead to a serious, possibly fatal, accident. I am taking photographs and will be taking the vehicle to a hyundai dealership for evaluation.
