Description of the problem	While driving on the interstate i-10 west of tucson, the sun roof suddenly exploded. There were no other vehicles in front of us. Glass was falling into the vehicle while i attempted to slow down, turn on my hazard lights and get off at the next exit. My husband and friend were in the car with me and they were able to try and hold up the fabric that covers the sunroof so i could try to get us off the road. Glass was all over us and the vehicle. Damage also happened along the top of the vehicle(it's all glass). I contacted my insurance company and hyundai. I was told by hyundai that while there were several vehicles like mine, same year and model were recalled, but mine was not on the recall list. After going the next day to the dealer where i purchased it, they are going to fix the damage as well as give me a rental car. Hyundai is paying for all of it. While i'm very happy they are paying for all damages, i really think they need to further investigate the recall. Mine was manufactured may 14, 2012, i was told the last date of the vehicles involved in the recall was april 2012. They have also recalled 2013 models with the same issue. I find it hard to believe that this is coincidence. We were truly fortunate that we were not in a very serious accident because of this incident. I'm very concerned that they are replacing the glass and not the actual structure of the sunroof. Will this happen again? Something needs to be addressed before someone else is involved in a serious or possibly fatal accident. I believe hyundai knows they are at fault, otherwise they would not be doing these repairs at no cost.
