2022 Kia Seltos SUV AWD

Sunroof exploded while driving for no apparent reason. Shade was open but the actual sunroof was in closed position. Car has less than 3,000 Miles. Its brand new. I heard a terrible explosion suddenly and was startled. I was driving alone in the car. At first I thoght it was something near by. Then I looked up and saw that the entire sunroof was shattered, glass all over the passenger seat and flying into the rear seat. Part of the sunroof glass was still in tack, bowing outward. I was able to drive to the Auto Body Shop that KIA dealership recommended. They said they had never seen anything like this before and that it did not appear to be an obstacle that hit the sunroof from the outside, rather an explosion from within causing the glass to bow outward (what was left of the glass). My insurance company was notified and we are in process of ordering a new glass sunroof. I did some research on the web while at body shop and found out this kind of thing happened before to different models of KIA. The body shop applied some protective plastic to the top of car so I could drive it. They also noticed the glass had left scratches on top of the car and in the hatch back of car. I then drove to the KIA dealership where I had just purchased the car and talked with them. They told me to contact the service manager the next day and ask him to call a KIA REP to have that person inspect the car. The Auto Body Shop took 22 pictures of the car. I also filed a Police Report on-line. I am horrified by this experience and angry that this type of incident has apparently gone on for years with not only KIA cars but other cars with sunroofs exploding as well. I will keep pursing this with the KIA dealership and a KIA REP as well since why should my personal insurance company pay for this when KIA should take some responsibility. I am just glad that I was not injured physically.

wireless CarPlay suddenly disconnects leaving drivers unable to use the navigation system and audio including music, call, navigation instructions, maps, and other features. This is a potential hazard for drivers who depend of navigation systems in an unfamiliar environment. Also, propose a potential risk because the driver may be distracted trying to fix the connectivity issue while driving exposing them and other drivers near to a car crash.

I bought a brand new 2022 Kia Seltos a month and a half ago at Monroeville Kia dealership. On December 11, the car started manifesting a transmission temperature overheating problem in the middle of traffic. Once the transmission overheated, the engine lost power. I was driving in busy traffic and had to pull the car over to allow the engine to cool down. The police came over and made me start driving my car again, indicating that I could not pull over in such busy traffic. This is a major risk to my safety and can potentially cause a car accident. I reported this case to Kia Manufacturer and I opened a case. The case number is 14537410. The manufacturer told me to have the dealership evaluate the car. The dealership evaluated the car and said “This is a known defect and, per Kia’s engineers, there is nothing they could do to fix the car.” I need reliable vehicle, especially because my job requires me to travel. I am concerned that this issue will continue to manifest and will likely cause a serious accident. I am filing this case because I need arbitration and I need this issue to be fixed or i need a refund.
