Complaint no. While traveling down hwy 377 toward granbury, texas. The underside of my car burst into flames. Fortunately I was traveling at 70mph and the person who witnessed the flames behind me, ran up to my car when I stopped at a rail crossing to tell me what happen. I was lucky I was driving 70mph and if I had stopped while it was burning the car would have burned up. It looks like the plastic panels were ignited by the catalytic converter. . Complaint no. 2 without any type of impact, near the rear view mirror, a crack appeared from the top edge of the windshield downward about 2. 5" long. Since it is near the rear view mirror I know it appeared without any flying object hitting the windshield. Since it is in the middle of the top edge, I'm wondering if it is a stress crack and other kia owners are experiencing the same event.

Sun roof exploded while normal driving on interstate hwy 40. Have police report #p18013783 from raleigh, nc police department.
Driving down highway and sunroof exploded. No cars or overpass nearby and no object seen or found to have hit sunroof. Sunroof appears to have exploded outward as there is very little glass trapped in the sunroof screen which was closed when the sunroof exploded. Weather was a mix of rain and snow and temperature was approximately 34 degrees.
The panoramic roof fixed panel is shattered. When we returned home from church, we heard a rattling noise and opened the panel and saw the entire back panel is shattered with pieces of glass shards in the back seat. Looking at the top of the car the glass was actually separating from the frame which could not have been caused by rock, hail or anything else but faulty manufacturing. I contacted kia grossinger dealership and was advised to bring in the car for them to look at and determine the cause. I advised them for safety reasons I would not drive the car and would be willing for them to pick it up and get a loaner. They advised this wasn't feasible. I then called kia customer care and they have taken my claim k3444320 to address the dealership's inability to determine cause, reimburse the glass dealer through the warranty and acknowledge the defect and do a recall.
I am reporting my panoramic sunroof exploding on my 2014 kai sorrento sxl. I was driving on a very smooth interstate high way in the morning with no traffic around me. I was traveling at 70mph and it was morning about 60 degrees. I was on the phone with my wife and heard a loud sound (sounded like a gunshot) and then it started raining down glass around me. As I stated, I was on the road and there was not another vehicle around me. Once I managed to pull over to inspect what had happened I noticed that there was most of my sunroof inside the car and the rest of the glass that remained was facing upward which I thought was odd.
Approximately 5 seconds after the vehicle is initially placed into reverse gear, and while the vehicle is likely already in reverse motion, the backup camera goes black for 2-3 seconds (and consequently, the driver is blind) while the camera is apparently switching on the guide line overlays.
