I was told before purchasing the kia-that the 5-yr warranty covers bumper-to-bumper. The windshield smashed with little impact when a large soft inflatable ball hit the antenna. The windshield has a manufactured unsafe defect.
While driving, gear shift automatically pops into another gear. Had taken to dealer. Consumer states there is wind noise coming from all four doors.
