The side mirrors don-??t fully retract, when the doors are locked or unlocked via the key fob nor depressing the lock/unlock button on the driver door. The side mirrors also stopped working as the driver walks near the vehicle with the key fob. This is a safety issue because when the side mirrors don-??t fully release outwards, the driver cannot see vehicles approaching or passing.

High beam lights do not work. It shows them on but they never turn on. We found out driving on a mountain road in NM that had no street lights. We had to slow down to 10 miles an hour because it was so dark and we couldn't see. It was scary and dangerous. We wouldn't have been able to react in time if a deer or other animal ran into the street. We looked it up and saw it was a known problem. We checked it numerous times, and it never worked. The driver's side window won't close all the way. It has a 1/2 in gap. The only way to get it to stay closed when we are not in the car is to hold the window lever up, turn off the car, and open the door. However, as soon as you start the vehicle, it drops down again. It also doesn't open all the way when you click the down level. It stops about a 1/2 inch left showing. This causes a lot of road noise that is very distracting and makes the safety features difficult to hear. The wire that holds and lowers the spare tire down won't go back up. We had to remove it because it would drag on the ground. We are unable to carry the spare, so we are at risk if we have a flat. We have not had any of these issues evaluated by the dealership. However, we do plan to.

Driving down the highway and notice a small chip in the windshield.We heard no impact noise while driving. It went from a micro chip to the attached picture in approx an hour. We are outraged because we just repaired our windshield last week from an unknown chip/crack that we came outside to one morning. It spread from the rear view mirror area to the passenger edge of the windshield in 2 days.

In the fall of 2022 my highbeams quit working. There-??s no indication that anything is wrong, however, they just don-??t turn on anymore. I-??m left with only low beams. Changing the lightbulbs didn-??t fix the problem.

While driving the speed limit on I-285 near Atlanta, GA, something hit my windshield. It made a high pitched, popping sound and immediately made a small, star shaped chip on my windshield in my driver field of view. Within 1-2 minutes of the chip, it started spreading long lines throughout the windshield, all coming off the original star shaped chip.

We were driving down a road on San Juan Island on May 1, 2022 when a small pattern of radio cracks appeared in the middle of the front windshield. No collision of any kind occurred, and there was no evidence of road gravel damage. We did not hear any impact. There were no other vehicles in front of our vehicle when the cracks appeared. The weather was partly cloudy and the temperature was moderate. We are at a loss to explain the cracks. They interfere seriously with driver visibility and will definitely require the windshield to be replaced.

Got a small ding in the bottom right hand corner of the windshield which was barely visible when it happened. Although I heard the slight sound of something hitting the windshield there was no obvious damage like a smashed glass appearance. However parked the car in the garage and next day when I went out to the car there was a crack that went up the right side of the windshield and then went 1/2 way across vertically to stop just under the mirror. I have no choice but to replace the windshield. I've never seen a window crack like this from such minor damage. It clearly has to be defective.

We have repaired the windshield several times and replaced it, and even the new windshield is cracked with the smallest of pebbles. We have never had problems like this on our other vehicles. We have gone 15+ years without a windshield claim on insurance, and now we have ? dozen on one car that is less than 2 years old.

Windshield was repaired September 2020 after a rock chip spread immediately after impact. The recall covered the expense of that replacement. However, the new windshield has the same defect and another rock chip spread immediately and was quite large on impact March 2022. I was driving in a parking lot when it happened, so not a high enough speed to have the rock have much velocity to it. Kia needs to fix the issue when they have a recall, not replace it with the same issue.
