description: WHILE DRIVE ON HIGHWAY AT POSTED SPEED OF 70 MPH THE SUNROOF IMPLODED ON ME. THE ROOF WAS IN CLOSED POSITION. THE GLASS SHATTERED EVERYWHERE. I HAD VERY MINOR SCRAPES ON MY FACE AND NECK. I JUST HAPPENED TO BE CLOSE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF IMPLOSION I PULLED INTO IT. I HAD TO LIFT MYSELF OUT OF MY SEAT AS THE GLASS WAS ON MY CLOTHING, ALL OVER THE SEATS, IN MY PURSE AND SOME PIECES WERE STILL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ROOF. DEALERSHIP IN ROUND ROCK, TEXAS WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY WELL BEING. THEY OFFERED TO CALL FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. I HAD MINOR SCRAPES AND DID NOT FEEL IT NECESSARY. THE IMPLOSION MADE ME THINK SOMEONE HAD SHOT ME BECAUSE OF THE SOUND WHEN IT IMPLODED. I WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF LIGHTHEADEDNESS! I HAD THIS CAR CHECKED IN NOVEMBER OF 2012 FOR THE SUNROOF. I HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I HAD BEEN TOLD ABOUT IT BY MY CUSTOMERS WHERE I WORKED. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT IN MARLTON, NJ CHECKED IT AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. THE DEALERSHIP THERE SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALL FOR A SUNROOF PROBLEM! I HAVE NO PAPERWORK FROM THAT DEALERSHIP STATING THAT THEY HAD CHECKED IT FOR ME. *TR
