Carrier/rack problems of the 2005 Kia Motor Sorento

I was driving down the highway with my 7 month old baby in the backseat in his child seat. I was about 10 miles into my drive when I heard a puff and a small whistle of air. I thought my passenger window had come down some or maybe I had left the door opened and it was letting air in. When I tried to put my ear closer to the sound I heard it coming from the top of my car. I turned to the sunroof cover and slid it open slightly to see what happened and I immediately noticed the whole glass was cracked. As I kept going down the road I could hear small pieces of glass falling off and into the slot where the sunroof slides into. If I would have had that open there could have been sharp pieces of glass that could have fallen onto my baby.

This is a follow up to NHTSA id number's 10819147 &  10824199. After filing vsc  10824199, I was contacted by a kia America representative from California. She requested a copy of my original bill of sale, the vehicle registration and the repair estimate from the dealer to repair the repair upper control arm brackets. She did not request any other documentation or pictures. She said she would review the case and speal to the dealer and depending on the cost would either have the repair completed or purchase the car to be scrapped for kbv. I received a call today and was informed that the repair would cost at least $3,000 and because the vehicle was 10 years old and not in the repair program ( I assume that was being done in the uk) kia would offer me $1,500 for the car. I asked if the vehicle was safe to drive in it's present condition and was told I should contact the dealer. I told the representative that the dealer did not give me any warnings when the estimate was completed. I was also told that "at least I had gotten 10 years of use out of the vehicle". Seeing as there is still a repair program in effect in the united kingdom for this defect is the ntsb going to require kia yo make these repairs in the us?.

This is a follow up to NHTSA id numbers, 10819147, 10824199,10838525 and 10838531. I further researched the crossmember corrosion may cause loose control arm in the kia Sorento's and found that in europe kia issued the attached service bulletin to attempt to correct this issue before the brackets rusted out. Based on kia Sorento vehicle sales in the us from 2002 to 2008 (the production range noted on the attached service bulletin) this issue could possibly affect up to approx. 266,000 vehicles.

Driver side axle broke in June 2015 and July 9, 2015 passenger side axle cracked and passenger side hub assembly went bad. Making a rattling, metal grinding noise. When the Sorento was raised up the whole underneath is rusted out. Im lucky I didnt have a major accident. Should be recalled for safety issues.
