| Description of the problem | I was driving down i25 around 530pm after work when all of a sudden my sliding sunroof glass exploded. There was no one around me at all thank god because the glass went everywhere and i didn't have my 10yr old son in the car as i usually do. Kia in motor city colorado springs is where we bought it. This was our first low milage expensive car we have ever bought. Kia told us its not there problem and we must have hit a rock or something but this was false. As i hit nothing. |
