NHTSA Complaint #10606045 — 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER

I WAS DRIVING ON THE 10 FREEWAY GOING WEST IN TONOPAUGH, ARIZONA. I HEARD A HUGE EXPLOSION AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED...IF I WAS BEING SHOT AT; THE CAR EXPLODED, A BOMB WENT OFF OR WHAT. THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED AND IN MY HYSTERICAL POSITION, I SEE GLASS FLYING ALL OVER THE ENTIRE CAR...I HAD TO GET OVER SEVERAL LANES TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY...I'M NOT SURE HOW I GOT THE COMPOSURE TO DO THIS...HOWEVER, I DID GET TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THE FACT THAT I WAS NOT KILLED; OR KILLED SOMEONE WITH THIS EXPLOSION OF NOT ONLY GLASS, BUT THE PARTS TO THE SUNROOF IS A MIRACLE. I AM NOW IN THERAPY WITH PDST. THIS CAR WAS A RECALL CAR THAT I PURCHASED TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. IT WAS RECALLED FOR SHATTERING SUNROOF GLASS...HOWEVER, HYUNDAI SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THE DAMAGES CAME TO OVER $10,000. *TR
