Windshield OEM Mazda or OEM KIA

KIA/Hyndai windshields are hot garbage. You should try to add glass coverage on your insurance. I have a $50 deductible on mine and safelite replaced it with an aftermarket windshield that won’t crack. Plus my HUD still works on my SX Prestige

I had distortion on my original windshield which may have resulted in my windshield being cracked within the first year. Hard to say. I got hit with a good sized pebble on a road trip. I replaced with OEM again no noticeable issues with this oem replacement.

The windshield on the 2020–2025 Kia Telluride features a distinctive design: the center portion at the top of the windshield is lowered, while the two upper corners are raised upward. This unique Telluride design somewhat compromises forward visibility inside the cabin, particularly for drivers with a higher seating position, where the effect becomes more pronounced. Moreover, this sharp-angled configuration is prone to stress concentration, which I suspect may be the reason behind reported cases of the windshield cracking spontaneously without apparent cause.

My 2025 Carnival EX just got a crack and I’ve had it about three weeks. Don’t even remember seeing a rock hit it.

2025 Kia Sportage and im going 3rd windshield in 6 months.

Yes multiple times

I experienced the same issue on my 2021 CX-5. Two chips in a week or so of ownership. I never had windshield build quality issues with any of my previous cars.

My 2025 Sx Prestige had it's windshield just replaced because of a rock. Chipped and splintered.. then went all the way across. Safelite says they are seeing a ton of 2025 vehicles for the same thing. 21 years of driving and this is my first windshield replacement. 4k miles on the van btw Our 2023 never had issues.

Mine got chipped within 2 weeks of having it.

This happened to me too with my 2025 EX.
