Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving my 2007 amanti on the i-10 when the sun roof suddenly shattered. there was no event that lead to this occurrence. the glass simply exploded or imploded. this was a very dangerous situation. this car was less than 3 months old and was brought back to the kia dealership for an explanation. of course, there was none. kia was filing this with my insurance company, but this was a defect of some sort that should be investigated. i was told the car was so new they would have to order the replacement parts to complete the repairs. i now had a rental for an undetermined period of time. *ak
