I was driving on the interstate when all of a sudden I heard a loud noise that terrified me. I quickly realized the glass of my sunroof was gone. There were no warning signs at all and the sunroof was not open when this happened. After inspection it was clear that only the glass was missing and no other parts of the sunroof assembly. I called Hyundai and was told I could bring it in but it would be an out of pocket expense and would be at least a week before they could get to it. I wasn't sure of the date so I put today's date.

Driving on interstate for approx 1 hour, when sunroof exploded outwards, no road debris hit the vehicle to cause exploding sunroof, it was not an extreme temperature change. Sound was like a gunshot inside the car, and thankful that the moonroof cover was closed at the time so that glass did not shower into the car while driving. Very frightening and could have easily caused accident. Going rounds with Hyundai right now to get repaired. Dealership stating that Hyundai will not cover the part. Dealership suggesting I file with my insurance company, however this was a fault issue with product, not insurance related. Vehicle under warranty and still having issues with the dealership.

I was driving on the highway heard what sound like an explosion. Almost wreck the vehicle from the noise it made. My children started to scream and cry. Then I heard glass flying off my car. Pulled over to see the sunroof was shattered into a millions pieces. I call Hyundai and was told the only sunroof recall they have is for the veloster which from what I was told was the same thing that happened to me. I have not received a call back from the dealership in regards to my concerns about this issue.
