2022 Kia Sportage Wipers & Visibility Problems

Your panoramic moonroof glass suddenly shattered and exploded while you were driving, sending glass into the vehicle interior. This happened without any warning lights or obvious cause. The dealer has not yet diagnosed what caused the failure.

Your windshield has cracked twice in less than two years — first in February 2022 after a deep freeze, and again in December 2023 in the same spot on the driver's side lower edge, even without extreme weather this time. Both cracks appeared in the black trim area at the bottom of the windshield. You're concerned that Kia windshields may be too fragile and could fail if hit by normal road debris, creating a safety issue. The fix would involve replacing the entire windshield and possibly inspecting the frame or mounting points for defects.

I was driving at 65 mph highway speed heading east on Colorado highway 36 when my Sunroof exploded. I pulled off the highway on to the shoulder of the road and looked to see that the sunroof glass on my vehicle had shattered in an upward displacement. Literally looked like the glass was pushed up from the inside. Dry pavement no sign of rocks. This vehicle has 4200 miles on it and this current occurrence comes after a similar shattering of one of my side panel windows after I entered the vehicle in April 2022 and closed the vehicle door. I have purchased multiple vehicles and Kia replaced that window under warranty.

The glass between the windshield and sunroof shattered it looks like it exploded from the inside. There are three lines going across ans then mini shattering inside. I was not in any accident and the vehicle was not hit by any flying objects or debris. There are similar accounts of this happening to other Kia vehicles, for some reason the tempered glass is cracking either heat or cold not sure. There is no impact point on the vehicle to say it was hot by a rock or anything just tiny shattered glass. Kia is not trying to remedy the issue at all.
