The sunroof exploded. I was driving and heard a loud noise that seemed to come from above. My kids were buckled in the back seats and my son asked me "what was that daddy"? He then looked up and noticed piercings in the underneath sheath that leads to the sunroof view. It could not roll back fully. There was also moisture appearing thru the sheath of the roof. When I got home and got my wife and kids out. I looked and noticed a gaping hole in the roof. I then realized the back panel was completely shattered with glass wedged on the sheath. Which is a good thing because the glass could have dropped on my kids. My wife and I had to cover it up with cardboard and black bags while in the rain. I am going back to star hyundai dealers to report the problem as it's sunday 2/4 and they are closed.

Driving alone on highway, sunroof spontaneously exploded. I was driving roughly 100 km / he. There was nothing overhead or vehicles ahead that would cause something to break it. The incident was extremely loud, all the glass feel over me causing a huge safety concern as it was at highway speeds. The sunroof is a panoramic so it was a huge amount of glass. Hyundai was notified numerous times. They would not acknowledge this had happened before, insisted something hit it. Hyundai also would not cover the cost of replacement.

The entire panarama sunroof exploded on my 2016 santa fe while traveling on interstate 81 @ 70 MPH in pennsylvania yesterday covering my wife and I with shardes of glass. I understand there has been other incidents of this nature posted on google. I called the dealer and got the typical run around. I did not pass under any over passes and traffic was non existent.
