Description of the problem | I was driving, doing approx 50 miles per hour when i heard a pop and then it started to rain glass from my panoramic sunroof that was shattering all over me. I had glass in my hair, cuts on my forehead and i have a huge lump on the top of my head from where i was hit in the head with a bigger piece of glass. Went to the hospital to make sure i didn't have a concussion, which i do not, however, i am very sore from my neck up to the top of my head. Brought the car to the hyundai dealer and the service adviser acted surprised that this had happened and said to contact my insurance company to file a complaint since he stated it couldn't have happened on its own, that something had to have hit it. How sad it is to come home to see that the 2012 model of my car experienced the same challenge and was under recall and now i am seeing that several other 2013 owners are experiencing the same issue with their sunroof as i am. *js |
