Hyundai Genesis sunroof shattered problems

Filed Mar 29, 2026 · NM

Sunroof exploded outwards towards traffic while driving on highway. It caused a loud shot gun sound which cause occupations of our vehicle to panick none the less vehicles behind us got the shattered glass. No warning signs to even look for nor hear. Have called auto places all around us to no avail on getting it fixed. Isn't worth the insurance hike if we cannot even find someone to fix the problem. After research it seems this is a well known problem with a panoramic sunroof. Outside of warranty so we don't know what else to do.

While driving on the highway (70mph) the front sunroof panel unexpectedly exploded raining glass all over the driver and vehicle. Prior to the sunroof exploding there were no signs of it being compromised (dents, scratches, cracks, etc.). Very small shards of glass were impaled into the drivers head and hands. After trying to have the sunroof repaired by two separate Hyundai dealerships who were unable to perform the work, the vehicle had to be repaired by an auto body shop.

I was driving on the interstate and the sunroof suddenly shattered and glass fell into the car. With the falling glass it was startling and without a calm response could have resulted in a multiple car crash and potential fatalities. Also, the falling glass could've caused physical injury. I was told by the local dealership to wait for 50 days before they would be available to inspect it. There were no symptoms of the problem prior to it happening.

Panoramic roof rear panel shattered. Vehicle was slowly transitioning from driveway to road surface over slight depression. Rear sunroof panel began to make popping noises that did not stop when I stopped moving. I got out of the vehicle and when I closed the door the rear panel shattered upwards, spraying glass bits onto me and the ground. Rear panel shattering was mostly contained by shatterproof film installed on the inside after receiving notice that these glass panels are prone to spontaneous implosions. Vehicle is presently at dealer being validated for extended warranty coverage.
