1 Body problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2019

Not sure that it's so much of a safety issue,as it is a black paint issue. I bought the truck in the early part of may 2019. I washed it a week later and noticed black bubbles toward the drivers back window. When I had problems getting the truck to pass emissions. I took it to the dealership. I pointed it out to the saleswoman. She didn't say much. So today I washed my truck again. Noticed 2 chips down to the primer on the hood. I took pics. I know we have a 7 year warrantee on the paint and interior. My problem is I'm afraid the repaint will not be nor last as long as the original paint job. I paid 53k for the truck with 6 miles on it. Now I'm the one with the burden that it might have to be repainted. I feel they need to look at their black paint. Make sure that the paint is reliable. I took pics. They could be better. I can take more. I'd also be willing to take the truck down so they can analyze the paint.

Failure Date: 09/26/2018

While commuting home from work in late afternoon, roughly 6:30 p. M. Of 9/26/18 the panoramic sunroof of my 2017 Hyundai Azera spontaneously exploded from the inside out followed by shattering and glass debris to be expelled from my vehicle onto the interstate and most likely vehicles driving directly behind me. The weather condition was sunny with a temperature around 80 degrees. I was in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway driving at 60 mph when suddenly I heard a loud "pop" that sounded as if a gunshot went off in my vehicle. The sound was deafening and extremely startling only to then be followed by the sound of breaking glass and air being sucked out. It took me a moment to get my bearings as I thought my back windshield must have been hit by a stray bullet somehow. Once assessing the back windshield through my rearview mirror I realized it was not damaged and the sucking air sound and glass breaking off was from overhead. My sunshade was thankfully closed but the exposed whole in the glass must have created a vacuum so the fabric began to pull upward. I was able to maintain control of my vehicle even though shaken by the incident and exited the highway as quickly/safely as possible to seek a public parking lot that I could stop at and safely exit my car to assess the damage. I found that my sunroof had indeed spontaneously exploded at the center where glass was visibly blown upward and from the explosion fractured/shattered glass was throughout the entire glass sunroof panel at that point. I began necessary steps with my insurance and notifying the dealership of the incident. I was given a service date of 10/2/18 nearly a week later and was not provided a loaner vehicle to drive in the interim. I was told to cover with a tarp or trashbags and tape down to contain the remaining glass so I did not cause additional road hazards until the vehicle could be serviced.
