| Description of the problem | My car was park at my work parking lot and it was around 37 degrees f outside. I went to my car to get something out of my trunk. When i closed my trunk i heard a splash after the trunk closed. I thought i splashed some water, but i then saw and realized that something was not right on my roof. I took a closer look and saw that my sunroof had blown up. Glass debris was everywhere especially on my windshield. I drove it home that night and brought it to the dealer where i bought it and they went ahead and gave me a rental car right away. I asked them for the best offer for a new car but they just wanted to sell me a new car. I don't trust the hyundai brand anymore and im hoping in trading it in for a different car. ..
