“Antenna fin blew off while driving.. And broke my back window too. I took to dealer wont cover under warranty yet I see all complaints that this needs to be a recall . Dealer wants 450.00 to replace has to be full unit although radio works fine I need this replaced at Kia costs or I will open a class action case for defect. It has happened to much and 2016 got the recall it's the same antenna shark fin cap.”
