| Component | VISIBILITY:SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The sunroof shattered violently in an upwards direction, sending some glass down inside the car and the rest all over the exterior. After googling i found out there are many other veloster owners that have had identical instances where their sunroofs shattered spontaneously. This could have resulted in serious injury. The dealership says they do not know exactly what causes it, but they are working on it with hyundai. They have another sunroof on order, but am worried i may have this happen again due to their manufacturing defect for this component. *tt |
