Owner Complaints (5)
Your car's front passenger side lower frame has cracked, allowing rusty water to leak from the body. Multiple inspectors—including your Hyundai dealership, another dealership's manager, and three auto body welders—confirmed the damage. If your car were hit on the passenger side, this crack could prevent the frame from staying stable and cause it to crumple instead of protecting you. The crack first appeared after you washed and dried your car in December 2025. Fixing this will likely require frame welding or replacement of the damaged structural section.

While driving my 2022 Hyundai Tucson at highway speed, the panoramic sunroof spontaneously shattered with a loud “explosion” sound. There was no road debris, overhead structure, or external cause, and no warning lights or prior symptoms. The glass shows a central hole with spiderweb cracking radiating outward, which is consistent with a manufacturing defect in tempered glass panels, not an impact. The sunroof shade was closed, preventing glass from entering the cabin, but this failure created a serious safety risk to occupants and nearby drivers. This matches numerous reports of Hyundai panoramic sunroof failures and is similar to the pattern documented in NHTSA Investigation PE13-017. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Hyundai but is available for inspection. Incident occurred on [XXX], while driving from Monroe, Louisiana, to Atlanta, GA, shortly after departure. The failure created a serious safety issue, forcing us to stop at a Home Depot and perform emergency repairs using tarp and Gorilla tape to secure the roof and continue our trip safely.

1. I had an issue with my new Hyundai: rear driver side window just shattered with no reason. 2. It's happened what car was in parking spot and glass does not hurt anyone, but it could happen on a highway with worst consequences. 3. I believe it was kind of factory defect or so, but local dealership doesn't agree with me, they didn't even inspect it. 4. There were no signs that this going to happen, window was just fine all the time, and the day before incident, and the same day in the morning. Also I have video recording from outdoor surveillance cameras of the moment when it's happened if you would like to take a look.
