Description of the problem	I was driving 70mph in the high-speed lane on i-40 eastbound on 7/7/15 at 7:10pm when my sunroof exploded without warning. There were no cars in front of me. My sunroof was closed, and the windows were closed. The weather was sunny and ~90 degrees. The explosion came as a sudden thunderous boom causing shards of glass to fall into my vehicle onto my head and down my back, causing only a few minor cuts. I was so alarmed as the sunroof exploded that i swerved onto the berm of the highway. I noticed that the vehicles behind me also swerved causing near accidents, as i suspect shards of glass also flew backward at their vehicle after the explosion. I put on my flashers and pulled my vehicle to the right berm of the highway to calm myself. The other cars did not stop. Since the vehicle was still in driving condition, i drove the vehicle home slowly with my emergency flashers on and called my insurance company. There are currently no recalls on 2013 hyundai velosters. However there was a recall (#12v568000) for 2012 velosters for the same issue. There are also blogs on the web that talk about this issue lingering with 2013 models, however, no action has been taken by hyundai to proactively address this enormous safety concern. I hope this notification to nhtsa helps drive some action and forces hyundai to recall these sunroofs considering how this could have easily caused severe injury and/or death at such high speeds.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
