AS I WAS DRIVING, MOON/SUN ROOF SPONTANEOUSLY IMPLODED ALL OVER ME AND THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN I HEARD A BANG AND SAW THAT THE BACK PART OF MY SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO PROJECTILES FOUND.

MY SON WAS DRIVING WITH THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF OPEN AND GETTING UP TO SPEED ON A 55MPH ROAD. HE WAS GOING APPRX. 35-45 MPH WHEN THE SUNROOF SHATTERED. HE WAS CONFUSED AND ALL VEHICLE PASSENGERS WERE OK, THEY PULLED OVER. NOBODY WAS HURT. WE LOOKED UP AND THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THIS SORT OF THING HAPPENING. THEY SPENT THE NEXT FEW HOURS PICKING ALL THE GLASS OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND THEIR CLOTHING. WE CAN NOT CLOSE THE SUNROOF ATTACHMENT AND HAVE TAKEN OUR VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI TO BE TOLD IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
