What owners wrote
The windshield has ripples in the glass. Driving at night is hard because it picks up headlights and it makes you look to see what the distortion is. The back glass is just as bad. I walked the new car lot and all the glass is bad.
In june 2012 while my sonata was sitting in the driveway the driver side glass shattered with no impact. I had to pay for the replacement thinking it was damaged somehow. But yesterday yet again my sonata was sitting in the garage this time and the driver side glass shattered again. This must be a defect in the car somehow.
