Kia Optima transmission oil

Kia Sorento 2010: Windscreen cracking

Kia informed us that you often drive on unmade roads, which perhaps explains why you have broken the windscreens in your cars. A company spokesman told us that they have only sold one Optima windscreen in the time it has been on sale, and that they have windscreens in stock.

As for the Sorento, they say there are two windscreens used in that model, they have one in stock, the other they don't, but they can get one very quickly if it were needed. Further, they say they have had their customer assistance people contact you to invite you to take your car to your dealer and have it checked for any possible quality issues it might have.
