Leased a Kia K4 in November 2024. Kept hearing a popping noise as of something was hitting the windshield.
The noise was intermittent. July 29 2025. Noticed a crack on lower left side of windshield. Called Safelite, got appointment for Aug 1 2025 to have windshield replaced and calibrated. July 30 2025. Crack had spread up the center of the windshield. July 31. Expecting rain so I covered the windshield and had to rent a car. Aug 1 2025
Safelite replaced windshield. I’m still hearing a popping sound but it’s much less frequent and not as loud as before. Took car to Burlington Kia where I leased it on Aug 14. Talked to service manager. He says he’s not aware of any other complaints? he suggested I make an appointment to have the car looked it. I made appt for next week Aug 28. I’m finding a lot of other K4 owners are experiencing the same problem. I can’t afford to keep paying $500 for windshields.
