Description of the problem	I am very traumatized since earlier today approximately 11am the glass sun roof on my 2012 veloster exploded when i was rinsing the car off. The weather was in the high 70s or 80s but whatever the case its extremely dangerous and unacceptable since i had children that could have had bodily injury since they were playing close by. The explosion spread shattered glass around 6 feet around the car and driveway and it was such an unfortunate situation! I would not want this to happen to any other veloster owners or future owners since it makes me sick since i live far away and was suppose to be home by now but due to this explosion i had to get it towed to a hyundai dealership! I sincerely hope that hyundai will resolve this issue since i was informed that this has happened to other veloster owners and since the car has only been in the us market for 8+ months its utterly unacceptable that its happened to multiple owners! When arriving to the dealership they told me that it is no big deal and this is really not true! It is a big deal since bodily injury did happen during the explosion since i took off my shirt after a frantic traumatic day to try and sleep and i have a small cut from the shattered glass! This is really making me so upset since its my first time as a hyundai owner and i regret having purchased this vehicle. I no longer feel safe and anxious to see what hyundai will do to fix the problem! Its so wrong for a car company to not care about the safety of the consumer since the statement from the salesman at the dealership where my car was towed is completely unacceptable and untrue! It is not normal for a car to explode when rinsing it off and there is no warning on the vehicle or manuals that would indicate caution to rinse your car in any climate! Reading forums some people just hit a bump in the road and the sunroof shatters! This is a major flaw!
