Description of the problem	My son's 2013 hyundai veloster's sunroof exploded violently while parked in our house drive way. The insurance company was contacted, but because of our insurance deductible the expense will not be covered by them. The car was taken to the hyundai dealer and they would not take responsibility for the damage, despite they had done some recalls on this issue, but were never notify of this recall or of the possibilities that this could happen.. I find it unfair that we have to pay for a damage that has to do with manufacturing of such sunroofs by hyundai. It is clear to us now that this is a very terrible ,dangerous and common issue with this type of vehicles sunroofs because of its size. I am filling this complain because i want to know what measures has the government taken to make sure that the automobile industry, in our case the hyundai , is manufacturing safe cars. From my reading related to this issue i am now aware that the auto industry and government safety regulators are well aware of the present safety hazards, that can very well end up been deadly. Please advise me on how i can approach this issue with hyundai. To clarify the vehicle was stationary and the temperature was approximately 70%, we do live in south, florida and the temperatures can go very high, so i am very afraid that this can happen again and i do fear for my son's safety. As of now we are going to have to pay $720. 00 for this repair that we have nothing to do with it. Sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
