Wiper problems of the 2018 Kia Motor Forte

I am the 2nd owner. Mileage currently: 25,562 mileage when purchased in August, 2020: approx 15,500 air compressor car was not driven for most of 2020 and stayed in garage (pandemic). Car has only been serviced at kia. Service in may 2022: dealer checked off all components, valves, hoses, etc. Were fine (option boxes were green, yellow, red, red being needing service soon. They checked "green" for box being discussed. August 2023 brought car in for 3 recalls. Several weeks prior I noticed that the ac wasn't functioning as well as it used to so I had them check. Coincidentally, warranty expired 2 months earlier in June. Paid for the diagnostics, results are that the air compressor is leaking which will cost $1700 less the $300 that I've paid (estimated). Not sure why this wasn't noticed in may 2022 when warranty may have covered some/all of this repair. The car is barely driven since I am underemployed. Additionally, the compressors should last 8-10 years, not under 5 years or 25,000 miles. Regardless, while ac is always nice on a hot day, have your ever tried to drive your car on a rainy day without a working ac? try it. I bet your windows fog up really quickly. So yes, it is a safety issue. I've reached out to kia USA for assistance as a good will gesture to meet me half way (not even asking for free, just to meet me half way). It has been almost 2 weeks and they keep stringing me along. I only have a small window with kia ventura to decide if they should finish this work before I lose out on the $300 that I've already paid. It's ridiculous.

I live in chicago it was approximately 35 degrees and raining out today, so I had my defrost on. I was in the line at a fast-food restaurant and I heard a crack noise. I looked at my windshield and there was a straight, horizontal line crack approximately 8-10 inches long. When I got out to look to see if something had hit my window, I saw that there were no impact chips and it is a crack that just begins at the very edge of the windshield going into the center. I took pictures but I have not done anything to stop the crack from spreading because I do not want to void my warranty or anything just in case. Kia already has this same issue happening with the 2020 kia tulleride.
