Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The hinges on the back window hatch of my 2005 hyundai tucson just broke. For no reason, while opening the window, the entire window popped out at me. I was not seriously injured, however you would think that a vehicle of this age would not fail like this. It took me and my husband together pushing to get it back into place and close. I can no longer us the window opening to access the back of my vehicle - until i pay for repairs. I would like to find out if there have been any other complaints of this kind on either the santa fe or the tucson? |
