I HAD A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD FROM ROAD GRADING. IT WAS A NORMAL CHIP, NOT UNLIKE ANY THAT I HAVE HAD ON OTHER VEHICLES. I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT FILLED TO PREVENT SPREADING. LEAVING WORK THE NEXT DAY, THE WINDSHIELD HAD ACTUALLY CRACKED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND TO THE LEFT, IN AN L SHAPE. SO, MY CHIP REPAIR BECAME A FULL WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING 3+ WEEKS FOR A REPLACEMENT AS THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE. MY AUTO GLASS PLACE HAS HAD ONE ON ORDER FROM OVERSEAS SINCE THAT NEXT DAY. SO, 4-6 WEEKS TO REPLACE A WINDSHIELD THAT TRULY SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN AS THE CHIP WAS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER CHIP WE GET IN VEHICLES. I ACTUALLY TRIED TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT DONE BY MY KIA DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WERE NONE AVAILABLE IN THE US AND GOOD LUCK FINDING ONE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP. WHEN I CALLED TODAY TO INQUIRE ABOUT HAVING THE CAMERAS RE CALIBRATED POST THE REPLACEMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT IF A NON-KIA APPROVED WINDSHIELD IS PUT IN, I WOULD VOID MY WARRANTY. SO, BEYOND WAITING WEEKS ON END TO HAVE A BROKEN WINDSHIELD REPLACED, BEING TOLD 'GOOD LUCK' FINDING ONE AND TOO BAD, THEY CAN'T HELP ME, I AM NOW BEING TOLD I "MAY" HAVE MY WARRANTY VOIDED HAVING IT REPLACED ELSEWHERE, EVEN THOUGH THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE UNDER 2000 MILES, THE VEHICLES WINDSHIELD HAS RECEIVED THREE CHIPS AND SEEMS TO BE WEAK (THIN) GLASS. I'M AFRAID IF STRUCK WHILE DRIVING WITH AN OBJECT OTHER THAN A SMALL PEBBLE IT'LL FAIL AND PLACE MY FAMILIES LIFE IN DANGER. THE WIPER SPRAYER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WHEN DRIVING FAILS TO SPRAY OVER THE DRIVERS VIEW. IT POOLS AT THE LOWER PART OF THE WIPER BLADE AND LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE WINDOW AT ROAD AND HWY SPEEDS. THIS CAUSES EXCESS AMOUNTS OF FLUID TO BE SPRAYED IN ORDER TO CLEAN THE WINDOW. THE CHIPS ON THE WINDOW ARE SMALL AND TWO ARE IN THE DRIVERS VIEW. I'VE HAD THE SPRAY TIP REPLACED AT THE DEALER BUT IT CONTINUES THE SAME PATTERN.

ON JULY 4 I NOTICE A CHIP ON RIGHT OF WINDSHIELD WITHOUT NOTICING ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AS I WAS DRIVING. THREE DAYS LATER IT BECAME A CRACK WITHOUT TOUCHING AND IN A WEEK THE CRACK REACH DRIVER SIDE. WINDSHIELD STILL ON BACKORDER. I REPORTED TO KIA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SOMEBODY ON NHTSA CALL ME AND TOLD ME THAT CRACK CAN HAPPEN THAT IF I PUT A NEW WINDSHIELD AND SAME THING HAPPENS IN LESS THAN 3 MONTH THEN THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. THIS WINDSHIELDS ARE NOT CHEAP AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A WINDSHIELD BRAKING SO FAST BEFORE IN LESS THAN 3 MONTH OF PURCHASE.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ON A LOW VOLUME COUNTY ROAD. I WAS MOVING BACKWARDS AND ENTERED THE ROADWAY. I WAS FULLY ACROSS ONE LANE WHEN A VEHICLE IN THE OPPOSITE LANE APPROACHED. AS I WAS CONTINUING BACKWARDS CUTTING THE WHEEL TO MANEUVER INTO THE NEARSIDE LANE, THE AUTO BRAKING ENGAGED AND MY VEHICLE WAS DISABLED IN THE ROADWAY FOR TWO OR THREE SECONDS UNTIL THE APPROACHING VEHICLE IN THE OPPOSITE FARSIDE LANE PASSED MY NOW DISABLED VEHICLE IN THE ROADWAY. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THERE WAS A VEHICLE APPROACHING IN THE NEARSIDE LANE THAT I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER AND NOW I WAS DISABLED IN THE ROADWAY AS THAT CAR APPROACHED. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE APPROACHING VEHICLE IN THE FARSIDE LANE HAD ROOM TO MANEUVER AROUND ME, BUT I WAS NOW DIRECTLY IN THE LINE OF DANGER FROM THE VEHICLE APPROACHING IN THE NEARSIDE LANE I WAS NOW DISABLED IN. IT SCARED ME TO BE DISABLED IN THE ROAD WITH A VEHICLE APPROACHING. THE BRAKES REMAINED ENGAGED AND I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL MY VEHICLE RELEASED THE BRAKES. I WAS IN GREATER DANGER FROM BEING HIT BY THE CAR APPROACHING IN THE NEARSIDE LANE THAN I WAS ENTERING THAN THE VEHICLE IN THE OPPOSITE FARSIDE LANE. THE COMPUTER IN MY VEHICLE WAS WRONG IN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND FORCED ME INTO A DANGEROUS POSITION. THE PROGRAMMING FOR REAR ASSIST BRAKING NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED FOR SITUATIONS LIKE THE ONE THAT I WAS IN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE BEEN PUT IN THAT SITUATION BY MY VEHICLE AND I THINK THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE PROGRAMMING FOR LOW SPEED BACKING CONDITIONS.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2020 TELLURIDE I HEARD AN ODD SOUND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A SMALL CRACK DEVELOPING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. IT STARTED FROM ABOUT MIDWAY HEADING HORIZONTALLY AND THEN MADE A CURVE UPWARD AS I DROVE. THE CRACK IS AT LEAST 18 INCHES LONG. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE OR MARKINGS OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD NOR DID I NOTICE ANYTHING STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK ORIGINATES UNDERNEATH THE MOLDING AND APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT. WHEN THE CRACK STARTED I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET AT AROUND 30 MILES AN HOUR WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND.

THREE DAYS AFTER WE PURCHASED A 2020 TELLURIDE I FOUND A CRACKED IN THE BOTTOM CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. I COULDN'T FIND ANY CHIP THAT MIGHT HAVE STARTED THE CRACK, IT JUST APPEARED THE NEXT MORNING . THE CAR WAS PARKED UNDER THE CARPORT SO NOTHING COULD HAVE FALLEN ON THE WINDSHIELD. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL, INSURANCE HAD TO PAY. SAFELITE AUTO GLASS HAD TO WAIT EIGHT WEEKS FOR KIA TO SHIP A NEW WINDSHIELD. I ASKED THE INSTALLER TO LOOK AT THE CRACK AREA AND SEE IF HE COULD FIND A CAUSE THAT WOULD START THIS CRACK. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT ANY ROCK OR FOREIGN OBJECT STRIKE WILL LEAVE AN INDENTATION WITH SOME SPIDER MARKS, HE FOUND NONE? HIS PROGNOSIS WAS, IT WAS STRUCK ON THE BOTTOM EDGE WHEN ASSEMBLED AND CLOSING THE DOOR HARD WOULD FLEX THE WINDSHIELD AND THAT STARTED THE CRACK. IT HAS BEEN ONE MONTH AND I ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER SMALL CHIP. I HAVE REPLACED ONE WINDSHIELD IN FORTY SOMETHING YEARS, DOESN'T VERY LOOK GOOD FOR TELLURIDE OWNERS, SOMETHING IS WRONG?

THIS IS MY SECOND REPORT. MY WINDSHIELD ON MY 2020 KIA TELLURIDE IS CRACKED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT'S ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT'S A LONG CRACK THAT STARTS AT THE A PILLAR AND TRAVELS ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE I SAW THE CRACK. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I NEVER SAW OR HEARD ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD THIS TIME. IT COST 1500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR IT LAST TIME, WHICH WAS FOUR MONTHS AGO.ITS GOING TO GET EXPENSIVE IF THIS KEEPS UP. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS OCCURRED.
