| Description of the problem | While driving home from work, today the panoramic sunroof shattered and crashed down with a loud sound, ,hyundai had already done a recall on my vehicle model for the same issue last year and i had checked it with a hyundai dealer who tested and found no issues with roof when they inspected it on june 2013 last year ,suddenly it crashed and almost injured me very badly today,it could have been very fatal . Ironically hyundai had issued a recall for the same last year but it did not seem to make any difference as the dealer s r not replacing the roofs ,its a grave concern and i urge the concerned authorities to kindly look into the matter as it could be a fatal issue on roads sometime soon if this continues. |
