Driving on interstate with sunroof closed/not in use. Entire sunroof glass shattered suddenly. No rocks or flying debris were visualized flying toward my vehicle before the glass shattered. The glass just seemed to shatter without impact from debris.
My vehicle is about 2 months old and the windshield is cracked. Its very concerning because it seems as though the windshield is very fragile and this is a huge safety issue for myself as well as others who get into my vehicle. I took my vehicle to kia and expressed my concerns and problem and they told me that the issue was not covered by warranty.
The ac condenser is not working. Kia os blaming on a h rock hitting it. But when you look on the internet everyone is having the same problem.
On our new 2023 kia Telluride with less than 1500 miles, the windshield cracked from the bottom drivers side across the windshield to the passenger side. The glass is measurably thinner than any other windshield I've ever seen before. Our safety was put at risk because we didn't know if the windshield was going to cave in on us or not - you could see how thin the glass is. We were not able to get in contact with our dealership. They did not return calls. We reported to kia. Kia has had windshield recalls for this same exact problem for the 2020 model year of Telluride. We feel we are experiencing the same issues with cracking windshields - and very thin glass. Kia told us we had to replace the windshield with oem glass ($800 more) or our warranty would be void. We had to replace it with safelite glass - and oem - for a total of $1335 - on a brand new car.
My windshield received the smallest of a chip. Within 3 hours the chip expanded to a full 24 inch u shaped crack (straight down the center of the windshield and over toward the drivers side). In the past on other vehicles tiny chips were easily repaired with no resulting crack. In this case, the speed of the cracking preventing any chip repair . My issue is with the integrity of this windshield.
Windshield has cracked and has needed replacement twice in the 15 months I have owned it.
Windshield cracked by itself.
My car was sitting in driveway and not moved for 4 days. The windshield broke and cracked completely.
While driving on highway my new kia Telluride’s suddenly made a very loud and scary popping noise. I pulled off at next exit to find a large chip and crack in the top of windshield. I did not see a rock hit it so I’m not sure how it cracked. Completely unacceptable and a safety concern if the windshield cracks this easily.
Driving down the road, heard a noise and the sunroof exploded. Thankfully we had the visor closed.
Driving home from purchasing vehicle heard a pop like squeezing an empty water bottle. Did not know what it came from. Eventually noticed a fine line crack in lower corner of passenger side of windshield extending from edge of glass towards center and curving up. Length approximately 9-10 inches. Contacted dealer to be told they can't help us.
My Telluride has a factory trailer hitch so I could insert a draw bar with ball and hook up a trailer. But. . . . No connection is there for electrical, so no lights or brakes would operate on any trailer I tried to tow!! obviously this is a horrible safety problem! NHTSA recalled the 2022 & earlier model year Tellurides because the tow wiring harness (essential for operating any towed trailer) was causing fires. A “stop sale” order was also issued. I purchased a 2023 model year in November 2022 expressly to tow my travel trailer. The recall was not disclosed to me, nor the fact that no wiring harness was available, or would ever be made available for my car. Kia advertises the 5,000 lb tow ability, shows the car in company sales literature towing heavy horse & boat trailers, lists the ability on my window sticker, and describes in detail in the owners manual how the fabulous tow system works! NHTSA had to force kia to stop selling the 2022’s but kia has dishonestly continued to misrepresent the tow capability for the 2023’s. I have a $50,000. 00 mistake sitting in my garage & kia will not even respond to letters from me or my attorney. Can NHTSA help me?.
