Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY HYUNDAI TUSCON BRAND NEW BACK IN 2005. LAST WEEK I NOTICED A RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR WINDSHIELD AND WHEN I WENT TO CHECK IT THE BACK WINDSHIELD ALMOST HAS FALLEN OUT. THE LATCH THAT HOLDS THE WINDSHIELD IN PLACE HAS CORRODED COMPLETELY. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT OVER THE 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE I HARDLY OPEN THE BACK WINDOW. I USUALLY OPEN THE ENTIRE TAILGATE WHEN PLACING ITEMS FOR STORAGE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HYUNDAI ABOUT THE ISSUE LOOKING TO GET THE LATCH REPLACED AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING BACK FROM THEM. I HAVE TRIED ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS SINCE I NOTICE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO COME FALLING OUT. *TR
