Description of the problem | 10/25/2019-the front windshield was hit by something while traveling on the highway. I inspected the windshield and did not find any evidence of damage. The next morning there was a long crack in my windshield. I contacted kia and was informed that this was not a warranty issue and would not be covered. The windshield was replaced with a kia replacement windshield by safelite. The cost of repair was $1,540. 43. A claim was made and paid by my insurance carrier aig. A few months later i received a letter from kia acknowledging that there was an issue and the cost of the repair would be paid for by kia. I contacted aig and let them know, but to my knowledge, aig has not made a request for reimbursement. 8-10-2020 my replacement windshield was hit by a small object while traveling at highway speed. The window immediately developed a crack that continued to expand as i drove. The break happened yesterday. I took the vehicle into a kia dealership and have filed a claim. I am waiting for a decision and a replacement windshield. In the meantime the crack is continuing to grow and is now 24 |
