Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)On Tue 6/17 I was driving my 2012 Hyundai Veloster home when the sunroof glass spontaneously exploded (no notifications)then the sound of shattering glass. There were no cars ahead of me and none behind so it was doubtful there was damage done to other people. I did have small chunks of glass fall on me and in the car. Humble Hyundai dealership can't find the recall. I called the main office it's recall campaign # is 108. The dealership said the recall had to be opened back up so they can see it. Otherwise I will be hit with a bill too high for me to handle. Please help asap. Thank you
THE REAR DOOR (THERE'S ONLY ONE) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NO LONGER OPEN EITHER FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE VELOSTER ONLINE FORUM. I NOTICED THIS WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO OPEN IT WHEN A PASSENGER WAS GOING TO SIT THERE. THEY HAD TO CLIMB IN AND OUT OF THE REAR HATCH. THIS WOULD DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN AN EMERGENCY.
ON TUESDAY 11/26/2019 AROUND 1PM MY CAR WAS PARKED IN A LOT WHEN THE SUNROOF EXPLODED.
THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE CAR SEEMS TO HESITATE AFTER PUTTING INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKE IS STILL ON.
MY HYUNDAI VELOSTER PANORAMIC WINDOW RANDOMLY BREAKS AND ITS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND IT BROKE AGAIN AND NOW I DON'T WANT THAT GLASS ABOVE MY HEAD THAT CAN JUST SPONTANEOUSLY BREAK DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY SO I WANT A REGULAR ROOF PUT IN WHERE THE PANORAMIC WINDOW IS AND HYUNDAI REFUSES TO DO THAT THEY SAY THEY WILL ONLY PUT THE DEFECTIVE WINDOW BACK IN. WHAT CAN I DO I HAVE ALLREADY BEEN WITH OUT THIS VEHICLE FOR A MONTH AND SO I ASKED THE GARAGE IN TOWN TO PLACE A ROOF INSTEAD OF THE EWINDOW AND HE IS . HOW CAN I GET HYUNDAI TO PAY FOR THIS IT'S THERE DEFECTIVE WINDOW?
ON 7/2/2017 I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. WHEN WE HEARD A POP SOUND AND PORTIONS OF MY SUMROOF CAME CASCADING ON TO THE PASSANGER IN THE BACK SEAT. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER TO INSPECT THE CAR. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SUNROOF TO MY CAR SUDDENLY EXPLODED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS VERY EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO WRECK INTO ANOTHER CAR, AS I PANICKED TO MOVE FROM THE FAR LEFT LANE TO THE FAR RIGHT SHOULDER. I THOUGHT AT FIRST THAT I HAD HIT SOMEONE, OR SOMEONE HAD HIT ME. HOWEVER UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH ANY OTHER PART OF MY CAR. I CAN BEST EXPLAIN THIS BY ASKING YOU TO IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND A HUGE ROCK FALLING ON MY SUNROOF. AFTER A PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED MY BROKEN SUNROOF THERE WAS NO ROCK OR ANYTHING ELSE TO SUGGEST SOMETHING FELL ON MY ROOF.
