EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HALOGEN HEADLAMPS ON THE EX MODEL DO A POOR JOB OF ILLUMINATING THE ROAD AHEAD WHEN IN LOW BEAM MODE. I CAN HARDLY SEE A FEW FEET. I ALSO DRIVE A LEXUS WHOSE HEADLAMPS DO A FANTASTIC JOB OF ILLUMINATION IN LOW BEAM. I AM HAVING TO PERIODICALLY ALTERNATE BETWEEN HIGH BEAM AND LOW BEAM MODES (TO AVOID BLINDING OPPOSITE TRAFFIC) WHEN DRIVING THE TELLURIDE ON UNLIT ROADS OR POORLY LIT ROADS. WHY DIDN'T KIA PROVIDE LED HEADLIGHTS FOR ALL TRIM LEVELS? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE KIA TELLURIDE WINDSHIELDS ARE NOT UP TO STANDARDS. THEY CRACK AND CHIP EXTREMELY EASILY AND CONSTANTLY OVER THE SMALLEST DEBRIS OR FOR NO REASON AT ALL AND DRIVING AT 40 MPH. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE TELLURIDE EX HAS AN ISSUE WITH IT'S HEADLIGHTS, ESPECIALLY IN A DIMLY LIT AREA. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE IN NORMAL MODE (NOT HIGH BEAM) ON A STREET THAT DOES NOT HAVE STREETLIGHTS (NO AMBIENT LIGHTS) OR YOU ARE GOING AROUND A TURN, OR YOU ARE GOING SLIGHTLY UPHILL, THERE IS VERY LITTLE VISIBILITY ON THE ROAD. YOU CAN SEE A DISTINCT CUT OFF OF THE HEAD LIGHT AND YOU CANNOT SEE BEYOND IT. THIS MAKES IT VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE IN A LOW LIGHT ENVIRONMENT. IF I AM ON A HIGHWAY OR A WELL LIT ROAD, THERE IS NO ISSUE. MY OTHER CAR 2010 AUDI A4 DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE AND THE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATE THE ROAD ADEQUATELY IN ANY CONDITION

SINCE NEW, THE VEHICLE HAS EXHIBITED A VIBRATION STARTING AROUND 65 MPH UP TO AROUND 75 MPH. IT IS MILD IN SEVERITY BUT ANNOYING ESPECIALLY WHEN FREQUENTLY DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP NOTED IT BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION.

A VERY SMALL ROCK HIT THE EDGE OF MY WINDSHIELD, AND IT CRACKED TO BE OVER A FOOT LONG ACROSS THE NEXT 5 MINUTES. THE MARK FROM THE ROCK IS TINY, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE LEAD TO THIS LARGE OF A CRACK SO QUICKLY. I HAVE HEARD REPEATEDLY THAT THIS IS COMMON ON TELLURIDE WINDSHIELDS. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND VERY UNSAFE. THE DAY THIS HAPPENED, I HAD ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE 5 DAYS.

IN THE 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD MY TELLURIDE, I HAVE HAD THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT REPAIRED AND RECENTLY HAD A ROCK OR DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD HIT IT AND IT INSTANTLY CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE BOTTOM AND UP IN TO MY LINE OF VISIBILITY. I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH AN ISSUE WITH WINDSHIELDS BEFORE SO IT'S A LITTLE ODD THAT WITHIN 6 MONTHS I HAVE HAD TWO ISSUES.

THE KIA HAS A SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS CRUISE CONTROL IN A SPECIAL WAY. THIS SYSTEM ALLOWS YOU TO PLACE THE CAR IT THIS MODE AND WHAT IT DOES BEYOND CRUISE CONTROL LANE CHANGE CONTROL. IT DETECTS THE HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT SIGNS EXAMPLE: I DRIVE FROM PRESCOTT AZ TO PHOENIX PERIODICALLY. THE SPEED LIMIT ON I -17 IS 75 MPH FOR MOST THE TRIP HEADING SOUTH ON I17 IT IS 75 MPH AT SUNSET POINT THE SPEED CHANGES FROM 75 MPH TO 65 MPH. THE CAR CHANGES SPEED TO 65 MPH. IT CHANGES BACK TO 75 MPH LATER EXCITING TIMES PASSING THROUGH ROCK SPRINGS. I AM DOING AT 75 MPH ( NO ONE IS IN FRONT OF ME THEY ARE IN BACK AND ONE TO THE LEFT SIDE. ). THE CAR SPEED DROPS TO 45 MPH. THE FREEWAY SPEED IS 75 MPH. HOWEVER, THE SIDE ROAD IN ROCK SPRINGS IS 45 MPH. SO NOW I HAVE 4 CARS TRYING TO AVOID ME BECAUSE I SUDDENLY GOING 45 MPH IN A 75 MPH ZONE. APPROACHING ANTHEM - THE CAR SUDDENLY DROPS TO 35 MPH IN A 75 MPH ZONE. NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. BUT THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE SIDE ROAD NEXT TO THE FREEWAY IS 35 MPH. NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE CARS AROUND ME HONKING AND AVOIDING ME - BECAUSE I AM DRIVING 35 MPH IN A 75 MPH FREEWAY SPEED ZONE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE DEALER JUST SAYS IT IS AN OPTION.

DRIVING DOWN THE 35 MPH PART OF HWY 130 YESTERDAY, A LONE CAR PASSED GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION. I HEARD A SMALL "SMACK" OF A SMALL ROCK HITTING MY WINDSHIED. I LOOKED AT IT 3 MINUTES LATER, AND IT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME. I RESUMED DRIVING AND ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. CAME OUT 1 HOUR LATER, AND THE CRACK HAD SPREAD BY 4-5 INCHES. TEMPERATURE WAS 65 DEGREES. THIS WINDSHIELD SEEMS EXTREMELY FRAGILE. NOW I'VE CALLED TO GET A REPLACEMENT - THEY ARE ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH DEALERS AND COST $750. WILL THE NEW ONES BE MORE DURABLE?
