“I have a 2022 Telluride I purchased from the dealer in May/22 and after 3 months the windshield cracked starting from the bottom corner of driver side almost across the entire windshield. The crack happened while the car was parked in the garage overnight, I found later a small chip maybe caused by a pebble. I did some reasearch online and this same problem has been reported multiple times on Kia forums. I talked to the dealer and they said this is not covered by manufacturing warranty.”

“While driving in August 2022 some normal road dust or sand hit my car and chipped my windshield in several places. I called my ResistAll company and they sent a guy out in September 2022 and he said he couldn’t repair it because it wasn’t “bad enough” Do not have a good picture. In March 2023, I was passing a vehicle going the same direction on the interstate and a small rock hit my windshield and instantly cracked it 6+ inches. I again contacted the ResistAll company and they informed me they couldn’t help because the crack was over 6 inches already, which it was instantly. …”
