2021 KIA SELTOS Visibilitywiper Problems

You are driving with all windows up in Florida with the temperature outside from 70's to 90's Degrees with AC on cold and running and suddenly car displays the temperature outside -39 Degrees and the car starts blowing very hot air that fogs all windows within seconds and daughter is unable to see. Car has been taken to Kia of Leesburg, FL more than 5 times. Dealer has changed the temperature sensor and checked the wiring, but the vehicle is still doing the same. Daughter almost had 3 major accidents because of this with 3 year old in the car. Need NHTSA to investigate this and push KIA of America for resolution.

I WAS DRIVING MY KIA SELTOS AT 55 MPH ON A CITY ROAD WHEN A SMALL CHIP HIT MY SCREEN WHICH DIDN'T EVEN CREATE ANY STRIKING SOUND AND THE NEXT SECOND I KNOW MY WINDSCREEN DEVELOPED THIS HUGE CRACK. MY CAR WAS APPROXIMATELY 40 DAYS OLD. RIGHT AFTER THAT I TOLD MY DEALERSHIP AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS VERY COLD. THEY EVEN DIDN'T TAKE ANY PICTURES TO CONSULT KIA CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY SAID IT WAS AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE AND THEY WON'T CONSIDER TO COVER IT UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THEN I WENT ON VARIOUS CAR FORUMS TO FIND OUT THAT KIA TELLURIDE BUYERS HAVE FREQUENTLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THE COMPANY REPLACED IT FOR THEM CALLING IT A "GOOD WILL GESTURE". I ALSO REACHED OUT TO VARIOUS OTHER KIA CAR BUYERS AND I WAS SURPISED TO...
