I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH THE SUNROOF CLOSED WHEN I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG. I PULLED OFF TO CHECK THE EXTERIOR BUT SAW NOTHING. I DRIVE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR MORE WHEN IT STARTED SOUNDING LIKE THE SUNROOF WAS OPEN. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK IT, AND IT WAS DESTROYED..SHATTERED WITH A LARGE HOLE IN IT. CALLED HYUNDAI WHO SAID REPORT TO INSURANCE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS LESS THAN 1 MONTH OLD.
