Kia Sorento Visibility Sun Roof Assembly Safety Report | Nov 17, 2010
Reported on Nov 17, 2010
| MY 2011 KIA SORENTO'S REAR SUNROOF SHATTERED. I WENT TO OPEN THE MAIN SUNROOF IT SHUTTERED THEN I HEARD A POP. THE ENTIRE REAR SECTION SHATTERED I WAS LESS THAN A MILE FROM A LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP (PINEHURST KIA) I LEFT THE CAR WITH THE SERVICE DEPT I WAS CONTACTED LATER THAT FROM THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT GLASS WAS NOT COVERED AND THAT THEY FELT THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THERE PRODUCT. I CONTACTED KIA DIRECTLY AND WAS TOLD GLASS WAS COVERED THEN I WAS CALLED BACK FROM KIA STATING THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE WARRANTY $1280.00 WAS THE COST FOR REPAIRS> I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DIRECTOR THAT THE PROPER REPAIR WOULD INCLUDE GLASS REPLACEMENT AND I SHOULD REPLACE THE FRAME HOUSING. I FOUND OTHER CASES OF THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE REAR SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERING AT LEAST NOBODY'S BEEN HURT YET. IS KIA WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE INJURED BEFORE ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM? *TR | |
