Carrier/rack Problems of Hyundai Veloster

Panoramic sun roof shattered today, 8 Jan 2019. My car has 14, 200 miles on it. There was snow on the top of my car (on the sun roof). After my car was warmed up (and stopped at a stop light), I heard a strange crackling type noise. I did not suspect it was glass until I hit a bump in the road and then heard pieces of something falling onto the protective/retractable curtain of my sunroof. I pulled off the road and noticed the entire sunroof was cracked with pieces falling onto the curtain.

While driving with my sunroof closed, I started hearing a strange popping, cracking noise. A few seconds later, there was a loud boom noise followed being showered by broken glass shards. My sunroof exploded, out of the blue. No collision, impact, or fast speeds. It was there one minute and gone the next.

Driving, the car was in motion, straight northbound interstate 55 at 70 mph and suddenly I heard an aggressive loud explosion, similar to that of a shotgun, glass was crumbling all over me and the interior of the vehicle. The panoramic sunroof panel exploded into bits and pieces and a portion of the sunroof tracking/frame dangled on the driver side scratching the narrow piece of frame. No apparent reasoning or cause for the explosion. No vehicles on all sides of me , no rocks or any other objects found that could have caused the breakage. I was told by the Hyundai dealership my VIN number was not listed as a member of the recall group of 2012 Veloster's that had same complaints made of exploding sunroofs. I considered myself blessed to have not been caused bodily injuries by the explosion and blessed that my insurance allowed repair expenses to be covered under comprehensive insurance. Once it is repaired I will divert my focus on trading the vehicle in for a more reliable and safe vehicle with no sunroof feature to cause future costly challenges for me to have to submit a claim with my insurance.

Driving to work at 45mph and the rear hatch window shattered. Nothing hit it, no previous cracks, etc. Back glass just shattered, the only thing holding the glass from falling into the back seat was my tinting.

While driving westbound on I-26 (no other passengers) traveling at around 4:15 pm from work to home, there was a loud crack or pop sound and my panaramic roof exploded and shards and chunks of glass flew inside and out of the vehicle.
