Lighting and/ or electrical. When using the auto headlight switch, all lights will come on randomly and periodically and stay on until you notice them or they ware down your battery. This is something that could be checked out by dealer and I will ask about it. So, for now, I do not use the auto headlight switch. My other problem is a glass issue. For no apparent reason, when I shut my driver side door a few weeks ago. My entire rear window shattered into pieces. There were no signs of damage to the rear window. Happened in my drive way. But, it could have happened anywhere. Filed a insurance claim and had the rear window replaced.
SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE TRAVELING DOWN HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 65 MPH. DID NOT SEE ANYTHING STRIKE THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE EXPLOSION. VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PANORAMIC SUNROOF. FAILURE OCCURRED IN THE FRONT SECTION WHICH OPENS AND CLOSES.
I AM REQUESTING THAT DOT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE OF KIA SORENTO'S SUNROOFS EXPLODING. WE WERE DRIVING OUR COMPANY LEASED 2018 KIA SORENTO HEADING WESTBOUND ON I-90 GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH TO DUE RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DURING SUNNY WEATHER, WITH OPTIMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, AND WE WERE APPROXIMATELY 16 FEET FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF US WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HEARD A BOMB BLAST SOUND COMING FROM ABOVE US. WE CAREFULLY FELT THE SUNROOF SHIELD AND DETERMINED THE SUNROOF EXPLODED INTO MANY PIECES. NOTHING FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE FELL ON THE SUNROOF TO CAUSE IT TO SHATTER. WE HAVE NOT USED THE SUNROOF SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2017. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE KIA DEALERSHIP TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY ASKED US TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN RIGHT AWAY. IF WE HAD THE SUNROOF SHIELD OPEN, WE WOULD HAVE SUFFERED NUMEROUS INJURIES. WE CONTINUED TO INVESTIGATE...
