Sun roof leaked and was repaired unsuccessfully 3 times by missoula hyundai.dealer finally took sun roof off and replaced seal. While driving on freeway the roof came completely off and flew off. Fortunately it didn't hit another car!! Dealership refuses to fix it because the warranty ran out by the time we got home from vacation(this happened while we driving to ca from mt). Hyundai won't fix it because they say it is the dealers problem! Help!!!! Tried to get help through consumer affairs, but didn't get any!
