I have a 2013 hyundai santa fe limited. We were driving on highway 85 in north dakota when the forward section of the panorama roof suddenly and without warning exploded and shattered into thousands of fragments. It sounded like a shotgun blast inside the car. Fortunately, the sunshade was closed at the time so most of the glass fragments were contained. When we stopped and examined the roof, we saw a hole about…

My wife was driving down the interstate at about 70mph on wednesday 2/24/16 in charlotte, nc when all of the sudden the sunroof exploded with our 3 year old and 2 month old in the back seat. The shade was back and glass dropped down on all of them. My 3 year old had some very small cuts on her face. There were no vehicles or bridges near the vehicle when this happened. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and…

So the next morning i made an insurance claim and had it replaced by safelite. Now this past week we had snow again in nyc and…

Vehicle was not struck by an external object, but rather the sunroof seemed to explode spontaneously. When i pulled over to the side of the road to examine the damage, almost the entire length of the sunroof had broken in millions of…

I have contacted hyundai and have been getting the run around about the windshield wipers. The wiper on the passenger side does not clean the window properly - there is a pie shaped area on the bottom of the wiper, on the passenger side only, that does not hit the window. After many discussions with hyundai and going to 2 different deals, they have said that it is a defect and that all or most hyundai's have this…

Have been noticing occasionally the front windshield wipers do not return to their "parked" position. They will occasionally stay too far up by 2 to 3 inches. When parked, they should be below the hood line tucked nicely to the wiper cowl. I have found on about 5 occasions since owning this car that the wipers are up as opposed to parked down correctly. The driver seat also rocked quite a bit when first purchased.…
