What owners wrote
I was driving on a major interstate in ga (I-75 southbound). Traffic came to a stop; I was at a complete stop when I was rear ended at 70MPH by a 3500 dodge ram. I was pushed into the car in front of me which caused major damage to the front and rear of my vehicle. My driver's seat broke, not a single air bag deployed and my seat belt did not lock. This caused my face to hit the steering wheel which broke my jaw in two places, dislodged teeth and caused me to temporarily black out.
When driving on the highway at 55 MPH the sunroof over the driver and front passenger compartment exploded. Glass showered into the car (2016 kia sorento xls). We drove the car a lower speeds to the dealership in bellingham, wa (smith kia).
