Your panoramic sunroof shattered suddenly while driving on the highway at 60 mph, making a loud noise and scattering glass into the cabin. Glass fragments remain trapped inside the headliner and continue to rattle, which is distracting and could injure you or your passengers if pieces fall through. The dealer replaced the sunroof under goodwill, but glass debris is still present in the vehicle structure. The repair will likely involve complete removal of remaining glass fragments from inside the headliner and inspection of the sunroof assembly.

Car is 7 months old. We had it less than 2 weeks and a rock hit the windshield and caused a crack, which we had professionally repaired the next day. 3 weeks later another small rock hits the windshield and it cracks to the point we have to have it replaced. 5 weeks later another small item hits the windshield and it cracks and we have to have it replaced again. Today, a small rock hit the windshield and caused a crack that we will be having repaired tomorrow. I have never had a car where we had to have a repair or replacement of the windshield more than once every 1-2 years and this is the 3rd windshield in the car in less than 7 months. My insurance has covered the costs so far except for the time and trouble of me having to take time off of work to go to the windshield place and have it repaired or replaced. I complained to the Hyundai dealership about this situation and the service manager told me "maybe you should drive on a different road". We drive this car 2 times a week on well traveled paved freeways. This is insane and makes me concerned that the glass is too thin potentially being a danger in the case of an accident. Plus when you pay 45k for a car, you would expect the windshield to last more than a month at a time.

I was driving on the highway & my sunroof exploded. Glass was shattered & rained down on me & my occupants. 1/The sun roof - I have since vacuumed the mess, but it is still not repaired. Available for inspection if needed until I get it into the shop. 2/ I was driving 65 mph when the loud noise (phone gave a warning of decibal level not safe) - broken glass & glass 'dust' blowing on us / breathed in by us. The shock of it happening when surrounded by busy traffic on a highway. 3/I have made many calls into Hyundai to get it taken care of - they are not returning my calls. 4/I initially took it into a dealership (Ken Garff-Surprise) & they did not seem interested in inspecting - had a glass company reach out to me to replace the sunroof thru my insurance. 5/No warning at all.
