Description of the problem | Our sunroof exploded while driving south on us i-5 just north of everett, wa. The glass blew upward out of the car & glass shards flew on us and our dog. We closed the fabric roof cover so the glass wouldn't fall on us. Kia tacoma said it was not covered by warrentee. They replaced the sunroof so we could continue our trip to arizona. The cost was $944 us. We contacted kia canada who have opened a claim but we don't know if we will be reimbursed. This problem has existed for several years. I hope people will report it to you so that you can insist on a better quality for safe sunroofs. |
