Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My Vehicle is about 2 months old and the windshield is cracked. Its very concerning because it seems as though the windshield is very fragile and this is a huge safety issue for myself as well as others who get into my vehicle. I took my vehicle to Kia and expressed my concerns and problem and they told me that the issue was not covered by Warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #11526303, filed 2023-06“My windshield failed. I have 2401 miles on the car and out of nowhere it had a huge crack the next day when I went to take my kids to school. It puts us at risk of shattering at any moment. It gets bigger as the days past. Yes I have reported it. It has been happening to a lot of 23 Telluride owners. No warning light or anything came on.”
NHTSA complaint #11519863, filed 2023-05“While driving on highway my new Kia Telluride’s suddenly made a very loud and scary popping noise. I pulled off at next exit to find a large chip and crack in the top of windshield. I did not see a rock hit it so I’m not sure how it cracked. Completely unacceptable and a safety concern if the windshield cracks this easily.”
NHTSA complaint #11505361, filed 2023-02“My sunroof randomly exploded upward while driving down the highway. No rock or debris hit me. It sounded like a gunshot. I checked my surroundings and no other car pulled over or look like it was affected by any road debris. I have pictures of the sunroof being shattered upward.”
NHTSA complaint #11646103, filed 2025-03“I was driving 20 mph when I heard a loud crack, shortly after I noticed my windshield had a huge crack toward the bottom that has gotten progressively worse and affects my vision while driving.”
