| Description of the problem | On saturday, 3/30/2013, i entered my garage at 04:00 a. M. And found that the sunroof of my 2012 hyundai veloster had exploded (detonated) sometime during the night. Glass fragments covered the entire front end of my car to include the floor in front of the car. On friday, 3/29/2013, i had the sunroof open for the majority of the 50 mile drive home from work with no issues. When i parked the car inside the garage the sunroof closed fine and was not shattered. The car remained parked in the garage until i discovered the event the next morning. I entered the car to retrieve some personal items at approximately 9:00 p. M. On the 29th and the sun roof was fine. So. Sometime between 9:00 p. M. And 04:00 the event occurred. I have a finished garage, with a sheetrock ceiling. Nothing fell on my roof! I can't imagine the resulting effects if i had been driving this vehicle when the sunroof exploded. |
