Description of the problem	I was driving down the street in my 2013 kia optima when all of the sudden out of nowhere, my sunroof just shattered!!! When i called kia, they told me that it was aerodynamically impossible for the sunroof to just shatter and that a rock or a bird had to have hit it. I'm not sure what the aerodynamics has to do with the fact that it just shattered but, whatever. Nothing hit it, it just shattered. It was the craziest, scariest feeling ever. I feel like that they think i'm just making it up so that i can get them to pay for it. That has nothing to do with it! Both my girls were in the car with me and luckily my youngest only got a small cut on her leg. They need to find the problem!!
