The recall for the moonroof wind deflector plate was done. However, with their remedy just being super glue it didn't hold up. Last year I had contacted Long Hyundai, dealership I bought the car from and the dealership I did the recall through and when I arrived they told me I was SOL. Hyundai America said the same thing. I've tried remedying this recall and my partner has witnessed the potential hazard given the plate detaching and the sunroof being left slightly ajar when closed. Three times this deflector plate has came detached and three times it almost caused an accident given the scare.

I have had NO previous issues with my sunroof. On Thursday, March 31st at approximately 5:30 pm, as I drove home from work. There was a breezing sound immediately after which my sunroof was pulled from the vehicle. Projected about 30 feet in the air according to the witness and crashed in the middle of the road. Fortunately, there was no one hurt or injured. I was shocked and a bit shaken up. I pulled over got out of the car and recover the frame of the apparatus. The front deflector appeared unattached and I had to hold it down to keep from flapping to bring the car home. After some research as to how this major and possibly like-threatening incident could have occurred. I found numerous articles regarding the deflector unbonding and cause tracking issues with sunroof and disengagement. This is highly concerning and I believe Hyundai should be responsible for the repairs in full as this is a safety concern that is the result of defect.
