“The part of the sunroof that moves when opening, spontaneously exploded while on the highway. Nothing hit the car to cause the explosion. Glass rained down on me. The car has 5,000 miles on it and there were no other cars around me that could've caused debris to hit my car. There is a huge hole in the sunroof now and the whole glass is shattered.”

NHTSA complaint #11518262, filed 2023-04

“Car shuts off as alert start flashing and beeping. Get a red flashing screen and a hazard message that states CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM. STOP SAFELY . So far this has only happened while I was at a stop, but I have read in forums where it has happened to people while they are driver.”

“I was driving on the highway going 75 mph and my panoramic sunroof exploded. My cover was not closed so glass came back in the car all over me. Luckily I didn’t have any passengers in the car but what if I had? Kia has been having this problem for years without doing anything about it.”

NHTSA complaint #11542242, filed 2023-09

“I purchased this car in October of 2022 it is less than a year old, this weekend the windshield spontaneously cracked on the lower passengers side in a straight thin line and has gotten bigger everyday, now exceeding 12 inches. The windshield was not impacted or hit in any way, the cracking occurring with no explanation and now requires a full replacement.. I believe I am not the only one having this problem and it’s a recall waiting to happen. …”
