Car has been fine otherwise, however, there seems to be an issue with Hyundai glass used for their windshields. Through forums, I've read of issues with previous years (a different model) and a lawsuit. It seems that maybe they are using thinner glass for weight or possibly it has something to do with the sensors for Lane Keep Assist, Smart Cruise etc. - but the glass seems to be highly susceptible to stress cracks. I have submitted a complaint, in writing, to Hyundai but do not expect to get a resolution as it is seemingly impossible to prove there was no impact causing the crack. I have also submitted a complaint to the NTHSA in hopes that others will also attempt to hold Hyundai responsible.
