I have had several problems with the windshield of my Kia Sportage. First off, it has a terrible glare or distortion while driving at night. I think it has to do with the elements inside the windshield. Secondly, the windshield cracks with even the slightest hit from anything on the road. I have had my car for 5 months and have received 6 chips to my windshield. Two of them happened when another vehicle was driving the opposite direction down the road. Three of them happened when I didn-??t have a car or anything anywhere around me. One of them happened when an 18 wheeler was driving next to me with no other cars around. I-??ve seen in the Kia Groups several other owners are complaining of the same problems. I don-??t think these Windshields are safe.

Vehicle has less than 500 miles and windshield and surrounding area is cracking and snapping. At first it was onlywhen windshield got warm when driving on when stopped and the sun beat on the windshield. Now it is cracking and snapping more it is happening parked or driving. It is frightening and scary.

When traveling over the mountain when the sun is coming up or going down and it hits the windshield at an angle the wires for the heated windshield creates a rainbow across the windshield making the driver unable to tell where the lanes are or if there are vehicles in front of or merging. This has happened to me on 3 different occasions. I have not noticed it after the sun is already up. Just rising and setting.

Windshield began to crack when the vehicle had approximately 500 miles. The windshield does not show impact from a rock or any object. The crack was noticed when getting into the vehicle, the crack did not occur while driving. Within a week the windshield showed extensive cracking within a short period of time, thereby preventing repair. The crack began on driver side and runs all the way to the bottom passenger side.
