| Description of the problem | While visiting my parents, my father pointed out that part of my sunroof was shattered. I did not believe him as i had not been involved in any sort of collision nor had i heard anything hit my car while driving. Upon inspection i was surprised to see that indeed a piece of my sunroof was shattered. There was no point of impact, the glass was intact but completely shattered. I immediately contacted my local hyundai dealership, but since it was a saturday they were unaware if this was something that would be covered by my warranty. I am taking my car in monday morning and hope to hear good news. I am extremely fortunate that this did not occur while my sunroof was open with my children in the passenger seat. |
