ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Upon starting my vehicle morning of 6/16/22 the LCD CLUSTER DISPLAY showed “system check” with the scan of the picture of the SUV then screen went to black. I attempted to restart the vehicle and it did the same thing. I took the vehicle directly to dealer and rep saw the blank display. In addition apple car play stopped working. On 6/20 rep informed me that everything was working and tech was unable to duplicate the problem. There’s obviously something faulty with the vehicle. The car has less than 5500 miles and dealer said since they were unable to duplicate the problem there’s nothing to repair but if it happens again to take it back in. This issue prevents me from being able to see odometer and if I have to wait for a tech to get around to looking at it I risk the chance of the problem temporarily fixing itself before the tech looks at it.

SEAT BELTS
Driver’s (left front) Seatbelt Tongue is sometimes difficult to fully insert into the Seatbelt Buckle. Even worse, sometimes it appears to be inserted, but it is not fully engaged/locked. I’ve inspected buckle and there does not appear to be any debris. Fully pressing the release button on the buckle BEFORE inserting the tongue seems to alleviate the issue. Next time I bring car to dealer, I will have them inspect/diagnose/replace.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windshield. Windshield was chipped by a flying rock or piece of debris on the right side just at the edge on February 14, 2022. Within one to two weeks a crack had formed and went two-thirds of the way across the windshield in the view of the driver. Windshield was repaired on March 31, 2022. On April 13, 2022, less than two weeks from the replacement, a flying rock hit the windshield and caused a chip at the very bottom of the middle of the windshield. Within two weeks the chip had formed a crack and went half way up the windshield, turned, and went almost all the way across the passenger side of the windshield - in the view of the passenger. it appears many Kia owners have had the same issue with small chips causing extreme cracks in the windshield which resulted in having to replace the windshields numerous times.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
Purchased 2022 Telluride Nightfall EX end of August and at the beginning of March and within about 6000 miles a small rock kicked up from a car caused a chip which spread to a large crack the next day. Dealership would not replace due to chip that wasn’t even visible as it was in lower passenger corner of black area. Glad I purchased all the extra coverages offered by the dealer and paid more than MSRP due to an unsolicited dealer fee!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
Instrument panel is not functioning, vehicle is currently at service center waiting for replacement part to determine if this will correct all issues which includes gear shift light indicator not working, voice command stating “turn around you are entering the wrong way” randomly while driving and the instrument panel. Initially the instrument panel screen would alternate between working fine to intermittently being partly or fully snowy before it would go completely dark. This pattern continued until mid May when it went completely dark and has stayed this way. Although there is no recall at this time on my specific vehicle I’m concerned that this ongoing issue could potentially caused me harm while driving.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
While driving the car, the speedometer on the car read 0, the entire drive. It would not register how fast or slow I was going. I tried turning off the car and turned it back on, it continued to not read my speed. I have video of the entire incident, but it looks like I can't download video to this site.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
After taking my car back to the dealership and speaking to KIA USA about my instrument panel going blank randomly, now my blinker arrow lights have stopped working randomly. This is a safety issue even more than the instrument panel because my blinker can be on without me being aware, which could lead to another car pulling out in front of me if they assume I am turning. I was driving for a while today before I realized that my blinker panel lights had turned off and I had been driving with the blinker on. This occurrence has happened twice now within the last week.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Sunroof, available for inspection but scheduled for repair. Sunroof exploded spontaneously, no vehicle in front and no foreign object found that could have caused explosion damage. I calmly move vehicle off road into parking lot. Explosion was so loud that someone else could have reacted differently and caused an accident. I've read and heard of other incidents where people report the same situation. Insurance has been active in resolving this incident. I've also contacted the Kia dealership and Kia USA. No warning was given before this happened. I do not have at this time have an insurance claim number, response from manufacturer or repair invoice.

Was traveling on the interstate when a small pebble hit my windshield creating half dollar size shatter. This car is only 4 months old and I was only traveling about 35 mph at the time and do not feel the impact should have been sufficient to create this type of shattering.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I've had the car for less than 6 months, and have been driving in typical situations that are not any different than how I have been driving other cars (regular driver) for over 20 years. I have 3 separate chips in the front windshield from pebbles or unknown causes. One has extended cracks. I've never had a chip in a windshield on another car before this, let alone 3 within the space of a few months.

I have owned this car for two months. Today, I noticed a crack in my windshield. I haven't had anything hit my windshield. I've contacted Kia and am awaiting a call back, but I see online where there are many more complaints about the glass being faulty and cracking for little or no reason.
