2024 Kia Sportage Other Problems

Your sunroof glass spontaneously shattered and exploded while you were driving, scattering glass fragments into the cabin and onto you. The sudden loud noise startled you and nearly caused a collision. There were no warning signs before this happened, and the damaged sunroof is being inspected by your insurance company and dealership to determine the cause.

Your engine is shutting off completely whenever you come to a stop or press the brake pedal, forcing you to manually restart it to continue driving. This happens frequently, even in traffic or on the highway, creating a serious safety hazard. A Kia dealership attempted a repair, but the problem returned within a week, suggesting the underlying issue wasn't actually fixed. The engine may need diagnostics to identify a faulty sensor, fuel system component, or control module that's causing the stall condition.

Your panoramic sunroof suddenly shattered and exploded while you were driving on the highway, with no impact or external cause. The dealer has documented the damage and taken photos of the vehicle.

While driving shortly after leaving your house, your Sportage's sunroof suddenly shattered with no apparent cause. You've owned the vehicle for a year and a half with no previous issues or prior damage, and there were no other vehicles nearby or bad weather at the time. The moving sunroof panel broke, not the stationary frame. The repair will likely require sunroof panel replacement and inspection of the sunroof mechanism.

Your panoramic sunroof glass spontaneously shattered when you entered the vehicle and closed the driver's door, with no warning signs beforehand. If the privacy cover had been closed, glass fragments could have fallen on passengers inside the cabin. The dealer hasn't responded to your contact attempts, and you're working with your insurance company to document the damage. Repair will likely require full sunroof glass replacement and inspection of the sunroof frame and support structure.

Horn stopped working

Rear liftgate window imploded.

i BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2025 AND THE WINDSHEILD CRACKED (ROCK HIT IT) WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE. IT IMMEDIATELY SPREAD TO BE IN MY VIEW OF THE ROAD WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND OTHERS, AND TOO BIG TO HAVE REPAIRED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERS BODY SHOP AND HAD REPLACED. AFTER REPLACED, I DROVE IT APPROX. 5O MILES AND SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE READ OF LAWSUITS AROUND DEFECTIVE WINDSHEILD ON THIS MODEL. I TOOK IT BACK TO LANDERS KIA IN LITTLE FOR THEM TO INSPECT IT AND IT IS STILL CRACKED AS I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER $500.00 TO HAVE REPLACED AGAIN. I HAVE PICTURE OF SECOND CRACK IF YOU NEED IT?

I have had no accident. In my opinion the 2024 Kia Sportage has a dangerous fire safety problem. This car has no way to open the back tailgate from inside. No release inside the car or on the key. I an accident occurs and the driver should pass out and could not get the key to someone, there is no way inside the car to release the back door to escape. If the car should catch on fire you would have to breakout the windows and then you will still have to take the door off to get to the people if driver can not hand you the key .There was an auto opener on the 2023 but not this model ..unless you purchase it special, which no one told me this when I purchased this car or I would not have purchased it .I even called back 3 months later trying to find out how to open my door and first was told by a dealer it was on my key as I tried to find it and called the dealership two additional times and asked at the dealership 2 more when I went for maintenance. made a 3rd trip and finally spoke to someone at the dealership who just now told me there is no key or inside access to the trunk. The dealers did not know and had me searching to use the key and the drivers door section. I think there should be a recall and they should have to put this on the car for it is a great safety hazard if you or your child is trapped inside a wrecked car. They should at least tell you this before purchasing and I would not have bought and paid cash for this car. NOW they want me to pay for this ? It is a fire SAFETY HAZARD. They need to make this right! Cars have had a way to get into the rear on key and from inside for 20 years now Please consider this before people dies in a accident due to this. I did call the company and they seem unconcerned. They need to get this feature on my car without charging me for it.If this was a standard feature on the 2023 then it should be on the newer cars ..It is all about money and not our safety.Why would you take a feature this important off a vehicle?

Panoramic sunroof shattered while driving - there were no rocks or falling objects

I was driving on the 99tollway about 70mph and I heard what I can only describe as an explosion sound and when I looked in my rearview mirror I saw glass flying from my car. My panoramic sunroof exploded, leaving a large hole in the middle of the sunroof. There were no car around me thankfully and nothing struck my car prior to the explosion sound. No sensors went off in my car and my car did not alert me that there were any issues with the roofing system.

On October 22, 2023, we made a restroom stop at an ARCO in Moapa, NV. I was in the car while my wife used the facilities. It was a clear day with the temperature in the mid 70s. As I backed out of our parking space I heard a loud pop. I checked to see if I had run over something or had a flat. I saw nothing. I got back onto the interstate and about 2 miles later I heard a loud pop and in my rear view mirror saw debris flying from our car. I pulled off the road and again checked my tires. I then checked the roof and saw that part of the sunroof glass was gone. This was a new car only 23 days old, with only about 550 miles on it. It had never been on rough roads. We had never opened the sunroof. We understand that this is an ongoing problem with sunroofs that use tempered glass. Please add ours to your investigation and fix the problem. It is at the Kia dealer now. They said they would check with KIA.
