NHTSA Complaint #11584676 — 2017 HYUNDAI VELOSTER

I was driving on the highway; the speed limit is 70mph. I had the sunroof of my 2017 Hyundai Veloster open to the first stage. The glass in the sunroof literally exploded, (it sounded like a gun going off) blasting shattered glass down on me and all of the interior of the car, (scared the [XXX] out of me!) Luckily, I wasn't hurt and managed to pull over without any traffic incident, but this could have easily caused personal injury or a collision on the highway at 70mph. It wasn't struck by anything, and the glass was in perfect condition without visual defects, i.e., chips, scratches etc. It has been turned into my insurance and I am going to request that the new glass gets a coating like the windshield to prevent the glass from coming apart like this in the event that this happens again. I think all sunroof glass should be treated this way from the factory, a broken window or sunroof is enough distraction while driving without being showered in glass.
