I was driving my 2011 kia Soul on a city street at approximately 25 mph when, at about 8:30 am, the sunroof suddenly shattered. I heard what sounded like a gun shot and felt and saw glass coming down on and around me. I was able to pull over immediately. I felt very startled and shaky, but was physically unharmed. I got out to see what had happened and found that sunroof bowed upward at the crack. Nothing struck my vehicle, on the sunroof, or anywhere else. Driving and road conditions were good. It was a clear and mild morning with a temperature of 56 degrees. Upon researching online, I found numerous other similar incidents documented from other drivers of kia Souls, other kia models, and other carmakers with spontaneously "exploding sunroofs. ".
Sunroof is not usable as it comes off of the tracks. Unable to close tight enough due to damage which promotes leaking.
I was driving and a pebble hit my windshield causing a chip which turned into a crack. I got it filled at safe lite. 3 days later another pebble hit my windshield causing a crack. In the past 3 years my windshield has been hit & cracked at least 10 times. I have been driving 18 years and habe never had a chip or crack in my windshield. Obviously kia Soul windshields are defective and should be recalled. I should not have to pay out of my pocket the cost of a new windshield.
