2017 HYUNDAI AZERA Structurebody Problems

AFTER RETURNING TO THE PARKING LOT WITH BAGS OF GROCERIES, WE COULD NOT OPEN THE TRUNK, NEITHER WITH SMART KEY OR BUTTON ON DRIVER SIDE OR WITH KEY ON TRUNK PANEL, OR MANUAL TRUNK BUTTON. WE HATE TO THINK ABOUT ARRIVING AT A MOTEL AND WE COULD NOT OPEN THE TRUNK. I REMEMBER AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN UTAH WHERE 3 CHILDREN WERE TRAPPED IN A TRUNK AND PERISHED. I WOULD THINK HYUNDAI WOULD DESIGN A MANUAL TRUNK RELEASE SYSTEM, THAT DOES NOT RELY ON ELECTRIC POWER, BUSH BUTTONS, OR SMART KEYS. THIS CAR HAS AN EMERGENCY FLUORESCENT SLIDE INSIDE TRUNK, I THINK IT ALSO DID NOT WORK. INITIALLY I THOUGH IT MIGHT BE A SETTING, BUT BROWSING A HYUNDAI FORUM I DISCOVERED OTHER USERS HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH VARIOUS HYUNDAI MODELS. POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE PART; TRUNK LATCH ACTUATOR OR SOLENOID. WILL FIND OUT MORE TOMORROW FROM DEALER.

WHILE COMMUTING HOME FROM WORK IN LATE AFTERNOON, ROUGHLY 6:30 P.M. OF 9/26/18 THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF OF MY 2017 HYUNDAI AZERA SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT FOLLOWED BY SHATTERING AND GLASS DEBRIS TO BE EXPELLED FROM MY VEHICLE ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND MOST LIKELY VEHICLES DRIVING DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. THE WEATHER CONDITION WAS SUNNY WITH A TEMPERATURE AROUND 80 DEGREES. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A 3 LANE HIGHWAY DRIVING AT 60 MPH WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD "POP" THAT SOUNDED AS IF A GUNSHOT WENT OFF IN MY VEHICLE. THE SOUND WAS DEAFENING AND EXTREMELY STARTLING ONLY TO THEN BE FOLLOWED BY THE SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS AND AIR BEING SUCKED OUT. IT TOOK ME A MOMENT TO GET MY BEARINGS AS I THOUGHT MY BACK WINDSHIELD MUST HAVE BEEN HIT BY A STRAY BULLET SOMEHOW. ONCE ASSESSING THE BACK WINDSHIELD THROUGH MY REARVIEW MIRROR...
