POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
The vigils when turning left or right makes a grumbling sound from the rear or transmission. Took the car to Kia in Huntsville. Al and they keep saying they don’t hear anything. You can clearly hear it. I have video recording. Seem like they don’t want to cover what is broken. It could possibly be the transmission case/ coupler because it’s an AWD. Next I will be filing a law suite.

I have a 2022 Kia Telluride with 3 "urgent" recalls. Unfortunately, I am in the military and stationed overseas. The local Kia dealer cannot view the recalls in their system. We contacted a Kia dealer in our US home state, and they told us they cannot provide the parts or work to be conducted without the vehicle being in the US. As it stands, we cannot ship the vehicle back to the US when we move as there are recalls on the vehicle. We have an expensive paperweight and no clear path to fix the issues.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Rear windshield spontaneously shattered. Turned on vehicle and shifted from park and as I pulled forward I heard a pop a noticed my whole back windshield just completely shattered. Didn't hit anything or nothing was thrown. Initially looked thought someone may have hit with something or thrown a rock when parked to explain the damage, but security footage does not indicate any such activity and confirmed with police.

The sunroof basically exploded and shattered out of nowhere. We were driving on the freeway with no one else around else when we heard a loud POP like we got hit. It was so loud it woke up the 2 kids and the [XXX]. We heard air coming through the closed sunroof and immediately pulled over and got out of the car. When we looked at it, the glass was shattered. Nothing hit us, there was no one around (had just passed through Pueblo CO head to Albuquerque.) The load pop surprised my spouse that was driving which could have caused an accident. The 2yr old car set was situated in the middle seat which was right under the sunroof. The glass could have gotten into all our eyes or cut us. I called the extended Warranty and it does not cover broken glass. He said he heard of this happening before. I did a quick search online and it seems like it’s happened to many people. The sunroof just exploding for no reason. Will have to go through insurance to get it fixed. I added pictures (I couldn’t really reach to get the whole view) we have duct tape on it now.

I took the car to the selling dealer for an oil change and two recalls. When i picked the car up I was told requested work was performed. I was also told they updated the radio. I did not request this and It was not mentioned prior to receiving the car. The safety issue; practically all systems connected to "Kia Connect" have changed. This is a major safety issue and distraction. 1. The screen intermittently does not turn on or is slow to respond when the car is started. 2. The touch screen sensitivity has changed. Doesn't always respond to commands requiring several attempts . 3.The entire on-screen radio format layout has changed from horizontal to vertical. 3.The GPS has added unnecessary commands 4. The voice activated phone commands have changed with additional unnecessary commands required to complete a call. The phone Bluetooth system, unknown to me, now switches to my wife's phone when I get out of the car and return, preventing me from making or receiving hands free calls while driving the car, defeating the whole purpose of a hands free system. Having sold car phones in the eighties, and being one of the first to have hands free in my car, I feel I know the systems better than most. Entire Bluetooth voice command and on screen displays have changed. On a recent trip on [XXX] in Chester, Pa there was debris blocking one lane of the three lane road. I attempted to notify PA State Police, When I said "Call Police" it displayed a number of 911 related phone numbers associated with 911 on the right portion of the screen from which I was required to respond to. Prior to this update the system would simply call "911" as programmed by me. Another distraction when attempting to making an emergency call. The car is over two years old with 51,000 miles. Obviously I have become familiar with all the systems in this time. I called "Kia Connect" which representative basically told me that was the change and to live with it.

Cross bar key covers keep coming loose and flapping around while driving. They do not stay engaged. I note this was an issue in 2020 models. Please require another technical service bulletin requiring them to fix this. It is dangerous if it flies off while driving and hits other vehicles.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The dashboard display went blank while driving down the highway. I could not see my speed, fuel level, or and engine performance indicator lights. I called Kia and found there was a recall for this problem but NOT FOR MY VIN. Well, I have the same dangerous issue as those included in the recall, so I think my vehicle should be recalled immediately. Thank you.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windshield crack developed from the lower left driver side, up and across to the middle of the glass right in the field of view of the driver. There was no chip, no strike of any kind. Simply pulled the car out of the garage where it is kept daily and went 1 mile to the mail box. The crack appeared on my return and is getting larger. Did my research and found out about the class action lawsuit. I've seen where it is very much a known issue. I will contact KIA customer care next and then the dealership.

While idling there is no heat. This is very dangerous in states where it drops below freezing. If I should be able to rely on getting heat but I can not. They called it a “design flaw”
