I was driving 70 mph on a clear unobstructed highway in the right lane, when suddenly my vehicle steering jerked forcefully to the right, over the white line and onto the rumble strips. A circular symbol popped up, on the display but it was too fast to identify while trying to make an immediate correction and recover control.

On October 21, 2026, the sunroof of my 2024 Kia Telluride suddenly shattered while I was driving at approximately 65 mph. The glass exploded unexpectedly during normal vehicle operation. The sunroof was in the tilted position with the sun shade pulled back completely. The glass shattered on the top of my head as I was driving. My two small children seated in the second row were also present. The cause of the failure is unknown. I took the vehicle to an authorized Kia dealership, where personnel photographed the damage, vacuumed some of the broken glass from the vehicle, and applied temporary crash wrap over the damaged sunroof. The service invoice documents that the sunroof exploded while driving. However, no comprehensive safety inspection was performed or documented to my knowledge. Dealership personnel verbally stated that the vehicle was safe to drive with the temporary covering and instructed me not to open the sunshade. However, they would not provide written confirmation that the vehicle was safe to operate. Despite the temporary repair, I continued hearing glass shifting and breaking while driving. I am concerned about additional glass falling, the integrity of the damaged sunroof, and the safety of vehicle occupants. On October 22, 2026, the dealership informed me that Kia had authorized replacement of the sunroof and that the replacement part was expected the following week. I contacted Kia Customer Care, opened a case, and requested alternative transportation because of my ongoing safety concerns. I was repeatedly instructed to wait for a case manager to contact me. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this unexpected panoramic sunroof glass failure as a potential vehicle safety defect, including whether similar incidents have occurred in other Kia Telluride vehicles.

Vehicle: 2024 Kia Telluride Current Mileage: Approximately 72,000 miles Dealership: Colonial Kia, Chester, Virginia Recall: Kia SC347 / SC347A — Exterior Door Belt Molding NHTSA Recall Number: 25V494000 Description of Safety Problem I purchased my used 2024 Kia Telluride from Colonial Kia in Chester, Virginia, in June 2025. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced repeated failures of the exterior door window molding. On two separate occasions, pieces of molding completely detached from my vehicle while I was driving at highway speeds. The first incident occurred before Kia performed the door molding safety recall. The second incident occurred after recall work had already been completed. My dealership, Colonial Kia, has performed repairs related to this problem. My repair invoice dated January 6, 2026, specifically documents that the driver's front door molding failed shortly after Recall SC347A had been performed. A second repair invoice dated April 16, 2026, documents replacement of the passenger-side rear door molding. Now, in October 2026, the front passenger door molding is beginning to loosen, creating concern that another piece may detach while the vehicle is being driven. I am concerned that the recall remedy has not adequately corrected this safety defect on my vehicle. Detaching molding at highway speeds creates a potential hazard for other motorists and could cause an accident. The dealership previously performed the repairs without charging me but advised that I could be responsible for future repairs after the manufacturer's warranty expires. I believe this is an ongoing safety defect rather than a normal wear-and-tear issue. I am requesting that NHTSA review these repeated failures, particularly the molding detachment that occurred after recall repairs, and investigate whether the recall remedy adequately addresses the defect. I have documentation of previous repairs and can provide copies of my dealership invoices. My primary con

Display gets very hot to the touch , even in 70° or lower weather. Vehicle is kept garaged. Seems hotter behind steering wheel than the home screen/radio side. Trim is not hot. We usually use a sun screen. We do not usually use built-in navigation, real-time traffic, or phone charging. Seems to be a potential fire risk. Internet info suggests that the manufacturer is aware of the problem but no recall. Not sure how long this has been going on. Happens when/after driving.
