Kia Sorento Visibility Safety Report | Feb 02, 2012
Reported on Feb 02, 2012
| WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE DEFROSTER (DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS) I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A ROCK HITTING MY WINDSHIELD, BUT SAW NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION I LOOKED AND DISCOVERED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A CHIP IN THE GLASS, ONLY IT WAS ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS LOCATED NEAR THE VIN TAG AREA. SINCE THAT TIME SEVERAL SMALL CRACKS HAVE APPEARED, ORIGINATING FROM THE CHIPPED AREA. I HAD A GLASS REPAIR SHOP OUT AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS ON THE INSIDE OF THE GLASS AND THAT IT IS EITHER A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OR CAUSED BY THE HEATING ELEMENT THAT RUNS UNDER THE GLASS. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE LOCAL KIA DEALER TO TRY AND GET THIS RESOLVED UNDER WARRANTY BUT WANTED TO GET A COMPLAINT IN IN CASE OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. *TR | |
