There is a defect with the WINDSHIELD glass. The windshield glass gives off an audible "SNAP" or "POP" noise when the inside of the windshield glass experiences a stress crack. This is not a crack that can be felt from the inside, or the outside. It is actually inside the glass and it can only be seen when the sun hits the windshield a certain way. Eventually failure of the windshield is imminent. The windshield glass internally fractures under normal driving conditions. It happens commonly, and intermittently, probably at least once per week.

The airbags failed to go off. I think the vehicle is still available it was towed to Carroll's in Winslow Maine. By the airbags not going off it made the risk of injury much greater. Also lost control of the steering all together. Tried to swerve to miss an animal and the steering assist took over. Yes we have a police report stating that the airbags didn't go off. I am sure budget had their people go look at the car. No warning lights present.

The contact owns a 2025 Kia K4. The contact stated that after driving for approximately 40 minutes at speeds between 55-75 MPH, the TPMS warning light started flashing, with the message "Check Tire Pressure" displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times. On the first visit, the dealer was unable to duplicate the issue. On the second visit, the dealer diagnosed the vehicle with an electrical system failure and reprogrammed the TPMS; however, the failure persisted. On the third visit, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure, and the vehicle remained unrepaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 800.
