We noticed that when we would close our car doors it would make a large popping sound and we realized that it was the windshield. i touched it and when i did it lifted from the car. the windshield is not secured to the car! i haven't had the car a year yet and it is still under warranty. i have scheduled an appointment with kia to have this repaired.
Was driving down a busy local road when out of no where, i heard a lound explosion. i looked at the rear view mirror thinking something had crashed into the back windshield, but there was nothing. i got out to check the car and noticed a huge hole in my sunroof. the glass had shattered and pieces were everywhere. i called kia to see if it would be covered under warranty, but they told me that they've never come across something like this. i even showed them many sources online of people complaining about the same exact issue and they still failed to acknowledge the defect. it was clearly due to too much pressure from how the car was designed and built as the sunroof was concaving upwards. clearly a safety hazard while driving due to the loud, unexpected exploding sound and worst case, could've caused injury with glass falling everywhere had my sunroof been actually open.
While driving down a straight path on an interstate at roughly 70 mph, the sunroof of the vehicle exploded with a sound like a bomb going off. the dealer is claiming the explosion was caused by a dimple in the roof of the car caused by a rock or an object that hit the car at some point. however, the dealership - and online research - shows that there have been multiple instances of sunroofs exploding in this make/model/year of kias but no recall has been registered as yet.
