Bought vehicle from team gunther kia - daphne, al. Vehicle arrived in colorado with illegally low tire tread depth and unusual rattling in the rear of vehicle which requires a heat shield replacement (i25 kia in colorado). Vehicle only has 23,000 miles. One owner, clean carfax report. Kia refuses to pay for heat shield replacement as vehicle ran out of warrant June of 2019 and 10 year powertrain warranty will not suffice despite incomplete sale (case number: 13917735). Tires should not have been so poor (hankook) at 4/32nds and extreme tire rot with only 23,000 original miles. Suspicious lack of documentation regarding odometer check that has delayed registration of vehicle in colorado. The vehicle condition upon arrival would have been an illegal sale in the state of colorado.
Sunroof exploded - I was travelling at approx. 60mph on a divided highway and the sunroof exploded causing small pieces of glass to fall into the vehicle.
While backing my 2014 kia Sportage out of my garage, I heard a loud noise. It almost sounded like a tire blowout. Upon inspection, all 4 tires were fine. The entire front separate portion of the panoramic sunroof had exploded / shattered.
