What owners wrote
Complaint no.while traveling down hwy 377 toward granbury, texas. The underside of my car burst into flames. Fortunately I was traveling at 70MPH and the person who witnessed the flames behind me, ran up to my car when I stopped at a rail crossing to tell me what happen. I was lucky I was driving 70MPH and if I had stopped while it was burning the car would have burned up. It looks like the plastic panels were ignited by the catalytic converter..
The panoramic roof fixed panel is shattered. When we returned home from church, we heard a rattling noise and opened the panel and saw the entire back panel is shattered with pieces of glass shards in the back seat. Looking at the top of the car the glass was actually separating from the frame which could not have been caused by rock, hail or anything else but faulty manufacturing. I contacted kia grossinger dealership and was advised to bring in the car for them to look at and determine the cause.
