Description of the problem	I have a 2012 hyundai sonata. Love the car. On a beautiful clear day, temperature was about 55 degrees. However, on march 19 as i was driving i experienced a loud shotgun type explosive noise while driving. I actually thought someone had shot at the car or something. Fortunately i was able to safely pull over to the side of the road. I had small children in the car. We were all terrified. I actually called the police. As i was waiting for the police, pieces of glass begin to fall on the sunroof visor. Thank goodness it was not open. I realized that it was the sunroof that had been compromised. Then i thought that maybe someone had thrown a brick or something. Once the police arrived, they informed me that nothing had externally caused this issue. The sunroof exploded from the inside out. They informed me that they had seen this before and that there were claims against hyundai. So naturally i contacted my hyundai dealership inquiring about if there was a recall. Of course, they said there was not. I had to file a claim with my insurance for repairs. I cannot imagine if i had been on the highay with the kids. I could have wrecked and could have been fatal. This issue really needs to be addressed.
