What owners wrote
Driving at 70MPH southbound on I-5 near albany or the sunroof suddenly imploded, showering the inside of the car with glass. The sunroof was closed as were all of the windows and the shade was open. Despite the traffic I was able to pull over to the side of the road and my passenger and I could shake out the pieces of glass from our hair and clothes. Apart from some small cuts there were no serious injuries.
The rear door (there's only one) on the passenger side will no longer open either from the outside or the inside. There appears to be many complaints of this on the veloster online forum. I noticed this when I was attempting to open it when a passenger was going to sit there. They had to climb in and out of the rear hatch. This would definitely be a safety issue in an emergency.
