I was driving down the interstate going around 60-65mph. I heard a loud boom that sounded like a gunshot, as soon as I had a safe moment to pull over I then realized it was my sunroof that has busted. I then was able to step out of my car and realized my sunroof had busted from the inside out. I am very thankful that I was able to stay calm, cool, and collective. I couldn't imagine if the pull of my sunroof from inside the call had been opened. It would have defiantly caused a hazard not only to myself but to other passengers and drivers on the highway.

Low pressure tire warning light comes on and remains on even though tire pressure is checked and is normal. Problem seems to be related to outside temperature. Whenever the temperature falls below 40 degree F the warning will come on and remain on. False warning will not tell truth about a low tire.

I guess I wasn't the only one with melting dashboard and both side mirror housing units. Today 9-16-14, dealer is replacing my dash N housing for the second time!!! I was so fed up with dealer and got corporate involved, so they called today 9-16-14 and told me just enjoy your melting car. They said they cant do anything about it. I am sure its going melt again and hoping so. I will have to get a lemon lawyer and settle it. It is not defective parts. Its the car itself!!!! this Hyundai will be my first and will be the last.

While the vehicle was in reverse, the dashboard's back up camera screen remained completely unidentifiable throughout the rainy weather day, with only dark wavey jagged lines streaming throughout the back-up camera's live video display screen making it impossible to view who or what was behind the vehicle within the vehicle's blind spots.
