NHTSA Complaint #11551418 — 2024 KIA SPORTAGE

On October 22, 2023, we made a restroom stop at an ARCO in Moapa, NV. I was in the car while my wife used the facilities. It was a clear day with the temperature in the mid 70s. As I backed out of our parking space I heard a loud pop. I checked to see if I had run over something or had a flat. I saw nothing. I got back onto the interstate and about 2 miles later I heard a loud pop and in my rear view mirror saw debris flying from our car. I pulled off the road and again checked my tires. I then checked the roof and saw that part of the sunroof glass was gone. This was a new car only 23 days old, with only about 550 miles on it. It had never been on rough roads. We had never opened the sunroof. We understand that this is an ongoing problem with sunroofs that use tempered glass. Please add ours to your investigation and fix the problem. It is at the Kia dealer now. They said they would check with KIA.
