My 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe sport has a panoramic sunroof that exploded on October 9th 2018 while I was driving (pictures attached). I had just left work less than one minute down the road when I heard crackling noise followed by a loud explosion and then sounds of a lot of chattering hitting the shade, followed by wind and outside noise (like I opened a window). When it was safe to pull over to check what had happened. I found the front glass of the sunroof exploded up and out! I had the shade closed so the glass didn't get in the vehicle. I immediately took pictures and called the dealership I bought the vehicle that was able to take the vehicle in later that same day and would have to leave it overnight. I received a call from their service dept. The next day telling me that Hyundai would not cover the sunroof! I had never heard of this happening to a panoramic roof before. So, I did some research online to find this has happened numerous times and Hyundai knows of the issue. If this is a known issue, I do not understand why Hyundai would not cover the repair" why there is not a recall or warning that this can happen"

Sunroof exploded while driving......we were driving on a four lane highway on a cloudy afternoon. Temp was 47 degrees and traveling at 65 mph on a straight stretch. The closest car in front of us was 1/2 mile. All of a sudden a loud shotgun like sound and glass everywhere. The front section of our panoramic sunroof exploded. My wife was in the front passenger seat and my 19 month old was in the back seat. Glass was on all of us.
