“Since purchasing my Kia SOUL on feb.28, 2011 I have replaced the windshield twice! Yes, it was hit but small stones both times, but one would think the windshield should withstand such impact. Any minor thing that hits the windshield appears to be leaving big paths out of the windshield and causing damage. To me, this is a safety issue and needs to be addressed.”
