What owners wrote

I was driving down a two lane road about noon on dec. 22. The temperature was about 70. I was going approximately 60 MPH. I was not turning, just going straight down the road. It sounded like there was an explosion. I pulled off the road as the glass sunroof shattered and fell in on my daughter and me. There was no other car near me. Nothing hit my car. I called hyundai was told that it wasn't covered by them and would be my responsibility to have fixed.

Reported at 33,000 miles, December 2015 Injury

On three occasions now, I have nearly hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk, because I did not see that pedestrian. All three were hidden from my view by a combination of the driver side mirror and the frame of the car on the left side of the windshield. Together, the placement of these two features creates a surprisingly large blind spot.
