As I was driving down the highway today, a small rock came up and hit my windshield. It was very small and should not have damaged my windshield. I ended up with a large crack in my windshield.

Small pebble hit car windsheild on top left corner. Planning on pulling over to access situation. Then notice a crack that would not stop until it reached the review mirror. I called Kia corporate to report and they are aware that the 2020 Telluride are having windshield cracking problems but will not repair if caused by pebble. Only if stress crack. I have heard of to many problems with the 2020 Telluride windshield and think they need to investigate issue further for safety reasons.

I have an issue with the glass quality/design. In the first two weeks (5/13/19) my right passenger window cracked. I did hear a very slight sound (like a water bottle expanding) but didn't see anything. Within an hour, the crack occurred. There was a very small 'ding' but continued to break. I repaired it with my insurance. On 7/16 I parked at work as usual. When I returned to my car, my front windshield had a 6-7 inch crack. I could not see an impact site. The crack is up around 10 high and now splitting to the left across. We were able to see what amounts to a 'scratch' to the touch. It is no larger than the tip of a sharp pencil. I understand debris hitting glass may render a crack, but to this degree seems to be a bigger issue I am very concerned about the quality and do not understand why I have had these two issues with very little impact to the glass. In previous cars I have had huge rocks hit and ended up with scratched/dinged glass. Without shatters, cracks. I researched many websites and dealers and I am seeing this is a common issue.

We bought our 2020 Kia Telluride 7-3-2019 & on 7-11-2019 our windshield broke from a small rock while driving 35 mph today from a passing car. I have heard of 100S of other customers having the same issue with these inferior windshield windows with poor unsafe production.
