The sunroof (glass) exploded while I was driving on the highway. It sounded like my car had been shot by a shotgun blast! I was driving on the highway, was completely startled and was lucky to not swerve into any other vehicles or ditch. I managed to drive to the shoulder because I was on a flat highway. I was driving home through the desert and had I been on highway 93, with it's turns and mountains I could have been killed. I did call Hyndai and they said there was no recall on that part. I did note, however, that in 2012 they recalled that part for exploding. My car insurance totaled the vehicle leaving me no choice but to buy a car.

I bought the vehicle 14 days ago and everything was going well until black smoke started to come out of the exhaust and it started to smell burnt. I brought a mechanic to my house and he told me that the engine had already died
