| VISIBILITY - SUN ROOF ASSEMBLY | |||

| I had just gotten onto the freeway when i noticed things flying off the back of my car. i wasn't sure what it was so i opened my sunroof slider a little and saw that my sunroof had shattered. i did not go under an underpass so i cannot be sure what happened. all i know is it cost me $500 deductible to get it fixed. my car is only 3 months old, so that doesn't seem right. i have had 4 cars with sunroofs and never had anything like this happen. please advise me as to my options. i'm afraid to drive it now! *tr | |||

| While driving on i80 in indiana i heard a loud noise in the roof area, so i slid the cover on the sunroof open and found the glass spiderweb. by the time i pulled over the glass was totally shattered. at the time of the incident there were no trucks near me nor was i near an overpass. *tr | |||

| 2013 hyundai elantra. consumer writes in regards to windshield wiper design failure *tgw the consumer stated the wiper blade on the passenger side was very short and the bottom end of the wiper blade left a semi-circular water streak right in front of the person sitting in the passenger seat on every wipe of the blade. also, there was a spot at the bottom of the windshields where the passenger wiper blade left a short inverted v type spot that the driver's wiper blade did not clean which would freeze into in the winter. the consumer stated the steering was too sensitive. the consumer was informed the vehicle has electric steering which may be related to the condition. the steering was so sensitive, that he had to constantly move the wheel left and right just to stay out of the oncoming traffic lane and stay in his lane of traffic. several times, while driving, in a slight crossing wind with various groups of trees, the level of steering sensitivity forced him to run off the edge of the road to avoid entering the oncoming traffic lane. also, on a few occasions, the consumer had to hit the brakes harder than normal, but not hard enough to engage the abs. with the electric assisted steering, it was impossible to feel if the vehicle was centered in his lane prior to using the brakes. | |||

| I started my car, pushed the wipe blade once so that it would get the dew off windshield. wiper blades got stuck, pushed again, it came down a bit, pushed and pushed, it continued to get stuck. took my car to the dealer 4 times now and problem still exist. they put a new switch in on 9/28/12. drove my car that night, it was raining, wipers started doing the same thing again. took it back on 10/1/12. on that date driving to work, it stuck again. by the time i got to dealer, it was working properly. on 10/2/12, the same thing happened. dealer cannot find out why this is happening and states they cannot do anything unless they see what the wipers are doing as if they haven't already seen it before. the day i took it there, the wipers started doing all kind of crazy things so they know exactly what the wipers were already doing. *tr | |||
