2020 Kia Sportage Body and structure Problems

“I was driving on the highway on a clear day with no cars around me when my sunroof exploded. The glass was defect and the manufacture isn't trying to accept responsibility. The dealership will not confirm how the denial was determined nor will they produce a formal denial letter. The biggest issue in my opinion is I don't even think Kia looked at the photos because when I asked the dealership for them (because it's needed for a claim with Kia consumer affairs) I was told they didn't have them. When I asked the body shop how they provided them to the dealership I was told by text. …”

“I was driving on the highway into pennsylvania at approximately 70 MPH (the speed limit) and all of a sudden my son and I hear a loud sound. It sounded like a gun shot and startled us both. I quickly looked around and above me I see a gaping hole in my panoramic sunroof and realize that my son and I are covered in shards of glass. I shut the sunroof cover immediately and call my insurance and put in a claim. I was still over 200 miles from home at this point with the threat of rain so we made our way home as safe as possible. A quick google search shows me that this is not a new issue. …”

“I am concerned with the liftgate/trunk panel latching/operation. On our liftgate/trunk it falls sometimes and comes down on you while you are still in the way. My wife was slightly injured on her head, when it malfunctioned, and she was in the way when it came down. Several times it just started coming down on me while I was unloading items from the cargo hold. Sometimes the lift cargo door will just open on its own and you go outside and see it, or a neighbor will see it and come let us know.”

“My 2020 Kia Sportage was stolen after the recall where Kia indicated the recall would detect that a key was not inserted and would shut down car. This did not work because my car was stolen after the recall!!! Causing extreme duress and fincial distress. This recall was just a smoke screen to let everyone think it was fixed and than tack a couple security stuff on the windows. When is enough is enough and the NHTSA finally makes Kia recall there cars and install an imobilizer as per NHTSA code.”

“My Kia 2020 Sportage is just over 3 years old. The paint and clearcoat is peeling on the lt and rt door mirrors and rear hatch sunshade. The car only has 26000 miles on it. Kia is refusing to fix this paint problem because they said their paint warranty is only 36 months. I'm not the only one with this problem- look online and see all of the paint peeling complaints Kia has. They just turn a bling eye to this big problem. I have a shop estimate for $800.00 to repaint Kia's poor workmanship. Sorry, sorry customer service from Kia.”
