2013 Kia Soul visibility complaints

Filed Jan 15, 2014 · Visibility · 22,900 miles · CA

I went to my car on a cold morning in january and found a crack across the windshield at the level of the rearview mirror. I do not recall hearing a rock chip prior the crack forming. I consider this crack a safety issue with the windshield cracking possibly because of rearview mirror loading or unusually crack prone windshield glass. Note: the affected parts pull-down in this form is not working. I would have selected the windshield and the rearview mirror.

Opened drivers door, got in and shut the door and the rear hatch window blew out. Vehicle is now at dealership and they called to say car is not to be touched because products investigations is going to look at the car before another window can be installed. There are other complaints that are the same as mine and the window broke in shards and splinters uncommon to a normal car window.

I was hit by a small rock going around 40mph which resulted in a chip/crack. In the 3 weeks since then it has happened 2 more times. Speeds were not excessive and the rocks were small. I have never had this happen in 20 years of owning cars until this new car.

I have washer fluid for low temps. The washer lines keep freezing making it impossible to see out of windshield. This is very hazardous, especially in northeastern ohio weather. I called kia and was told by kia that they have been getting calls nonstop about it and there is nothing they can do about it. Apparently the washer lines are not near engine block so there is no warmth to prevent them from freezing in cold temps. This is very dangerous and there should be a recall on this car model asap.
