| Description of the problem | I was driving on the 10 freeway going west in tonopaugh, arizona. I heard a huge explosion and did not know what happened... If i was being shot at; the car exploded, a bomb went off or what. The sunroof was closed and in my hysterical position, i see glass flying all over the entire car... I had to get over several lanes to get off the freeway... I'm not sure how i got the composure to do this... However, i did get to the side of the freeway. The fact that i was not killed; or killed someone with this explosion of not only glass, but the parts to the sunroof is a miracle. I am now in therapy with pdst. This car was a recall car that i purchased two weeks prior to the accident. It was recalled for shattering sunroof glass... However, hyundai said that my car was not part of the recall. The damages came to over $10,000. |
