Description of the problem | On the 19th of february, 2020 at approx. 11:00am, i was heading east bound on i-44 near ft leonard wood, mo when my sunroof suddenly exploded. I had my cruise control set at 72mph. There were no other vehicles in my general area. All windows were rolled as well as the sunroof being closed, with the inside sun shade being in the closed position. Inside temp was set at 72 degrees with the fan setting on the third setting. I am unsure of the outside temperature but it was above freezing. My local kia dealer, roper kia of joplin, mo inspected the vehicle thursday morning at 8am, after their inspection they contacted the district service manager who authorized the sunroof to be replaced under goodwill warranty at no cost to myself. |
