2015 Kia K900

BACK PORTION OF THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF COMPLETELY SHATTERED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EVEN IN USE. IT WAS PARKED IN THE BACK OF OUR DRIVEWAY ALONG WITH OUR OTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS FINE ONE DAY AND WAS FOUND COMPLETELY SHATTERED THE NEXT MORNING...GOOD THING IT WASN'T RAINING OR SNOWING. IT WAS NOT HIT BY ANYTHING. I HAVE GLASS INSURANCE BUT FEEL KIA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS, NOT MY INSURANCE COMPANY, ESPECIALLY IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE!

THIS VEHICLE WILL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING OUT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC . THE CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE NEW, THE KIA REP HAS TOLD ME THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR AND THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT EASY WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND YOU CAN NOT USE ACCESS ACCELERATION AND MUST GIVE THE CAR TIME FOR THE TRACTION CONTROL TO KICK IN .THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE .I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND WILL NOT LET MY FAMILY DRIVE IT OR BE IN THIS VEHICLE .I WAS NEVER WARNED OF THIS DEFECT BEFORE I LEASED THIS CAR AND THE MANUFACTURE SHOULD WARN PEOPLE BEFORE THE BUY IT. I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOT THIS CAR IF I KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR HURT IF PEOPLE ARE NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS. YOUR HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 KIA K900. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE RESULTS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 01/27/17*LJ

THERE IS A FLAW IN NIGHT DRIVING WHERE THE ILLUMINATED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REFLECTS ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD GLASS IN THE DRIVER'S LINE OF VISION CREATING A DISTRACTING HAZARD. THE ONLY WAY TO ALLEVIATE THIS CONDITION IS TO COMPLETELY DIM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO A SETTING OF ONE WHICH MAKES THE CLUSTER TOO DIM TO READ. SO YOU HAVE A CHOICE: STARE AT A REFLECTION IN YOUR WINDSHIELD OR BE UNABLE TO SEE YOUR SPEEDOMETER.

AT SEPARATE TIMES, BOTH "ADAPTIVE" HEADLAMPS HAVE FAILED. AT SEPARATE TIMES, BOTH HEADLAMPS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS COULD BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS, THE HEADLAMPS WILL BE POINTING IN OPPOSITE, AND AT LEAST HALF THE TIME, WRONG DIRECTION. YOU COULD TURN LEFT, THE HEADLAMP WILL POINT RIGHT AND THERE WILL BE MINIMAL LIGHT COVERAGE ON THE ROAD. YOU ALSO CAN NOT SEE "DOWN" THE ROAD WHEN THIS CONDITION EXISTS.

THE SCREEN DISPLAY WILL FREEZE AND GIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND DISTRACTING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE AFTER THE FREEZE THE SCREEN WILL GO BLACK FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THEN THE SYSTEM WILL BOOT WITH THE "WELCOME" SCREEN, THEN IT WILL ASK YOU TO AGREE WITH THE TERMS WHICH REQUIRES A MANUAL DRIVER OPERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AT RANDOM INTERVALS.

THE REAR GLASS HAS A GLARE ON IT. ANY HEADLIGHTS BEHIND YOU AND AIMED IN TO YOUR REAR GLASS ARE PICKED UP BY THE DEFROSTER LINES CREATING A DISTRACTING HAZARD. THIS CONDITION PRESENTS WHETHER THE GLASS IS STOCK OR HAS TINT ON IT APPLIED BY KIA. THE ATTACHED PHOTOS INCLUDED THE CONDITION WITH AND WITHOUT THE TINT. OVER A FOUR MONTH PROCESS, KIA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BUT REFUSED TO MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO FIX THE IT DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING UNDER WARRANTY.

WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP OR A UNEVEN SURFACE THE CAR JUST DON'T LIKE IT,IN FACT THE CAR EVEN MOVE THE STEERING WELL ONE SIDE TO ANOTHER WITH A SHAKING FILING TEETH FEELS LIKE THE WEELLS ARE LOOSE OR SOMETHING,AT THE SAME TIME THE STEERING WELL MOVE GIVING YOU A FEELING THAT YOU MAY NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR,VERY DISAPPOINT IT WITH KIA.THEY NEED TO FIX THIS.I CALL AND THEY SAY IS NORMAL FOR THE K900 TO DRIVE LIKE THAT .REALLY KIA I THINK YOU ARE WRONG.TRY NOT TO HIT A BUMP OR A LITTLE HOLE IN THE ROAD BECAUSE YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL YOUR CAR OR GET INTO A CRASH,YOU NEVER KNOW .
