When driving the vehicle at highway speed the passenger nad drivers window flexes and will not always rollup. The window flexes enough that it contacts the door gaskets and it assumes there is a pinch point and roll the window down. The only way to correct this is slow down to less than 55 miles and hour or fiddle with the windows to try and get the back pressure reduced. The Kia dealer can replicated this and Kia tech line says this is operating within design.it is not a sefey issue to slow down on a highway to rollup[ a window or be distracted with a workaround.

While driving at highway speeds on the highway, we heard a loud crack and our sunroof burst open and showered us with temped glass. It was very startling and caused my wife to veer into the opposite lane momentarily. The sunroof burst open in an upward fashion. Nothing hit the sunroof glass. The weather was clear. Outside temperature was approximately 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

While driving the vehicle on a rural highway, taking my children to school, I heard a loud pop noise coming from the top of the car. At the time this happened, the vehicle was on a straight section of the highway moving at approximately 55 mph. The drivers side window was open slightly and often vibrates at certain locations of how far down the window is opened. Upon returning home from school drop off, I checked the exterior of the car and got a chair to stand on to see the top of the car. That is when I saw the large hole in the middle of the second row sunroof. The hole looked similar to a volcano with the jagged edges pointing upwards. The surrounding areas of the hole were also at an upward incline. This tells me the sunroof exploded upwards from the interior of the car, not from an outside influence. Also, the fact that both front driver and passenger windows vibrate when the windows are open tells me there is an air pressure issue within the interior design of the vehicle.
