VISIBILITY/WIPER
The windshield has chipped and shattered three times in the less than 6 months I have owned it. All times, I was driving at or below the speed limit. A pebble sized rock shattered the windshield and the other two times, it wasn’t even noticeably hit, it just cracked. A windshield that is this fragile is not safe in a brand new vehicle.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
High beams do not switch on from low beams. Safety is put at risk due to not being able to have visual on roads with no street lights in rural areas. The problem has been reproduced even with new bulbs. No warring messages have appeared.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I don’t think the windshield is strong enough and it makes me scared to drive in the highways. I’ve had for less than 4 months and a small rock left a big crack after going 50mph. Already had another small chip since then. These are made terribly and have had other owners tell me the same.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Purchased vehicle on 2/18/22 and within two weeks, windshield easily cracked with a small rock/pebble kick up in the snow. Several small chips (at least 100) in the windshield causing low visibility in a car that we've only had for 2 months. Several groups of telluride owners report the same problem on 2020-2022 models but Kia is not acknowledging the issue in the 2021/2022 models. Trying to get Kia consumer affairs to show me a statement that proves that Kia has upgraded their 2020 windshield glass (which has been recalled / a part of a class action lawsuit).

VISIBILITY/WIPER
We have repaired the windshield several times and replaced it, and even the new windshield is cracked with the smallest of pebbles. We have never had problems like this on our other vehicles. We have gone 15+ years without a windshield claim on insurance, and now we have ½ dozen on one car that is less than 2 years old.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
I have owned my kia teuride for about 7 months and in those months I have had to bring the car to the dealer 3 separate times for a vibration problem. For each time car was in service for a few weeks. First was told I needed tires balanced and they balanced. 2nd time was told I needed a new driveshaft and they replaced. 3rd time wad told I needed a new awd coupler and it was replaced. I am a disabled father of 3 kids and cannot go back and forth to the dealer all the time when they tell me I can't have a rental car or loaner and then strand me at the dealer 14 miles away from my house. There has to be a better way to help people cause it seems that kia consumer affairs is not even helping

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The windshield began to crack on the edge of the glass and spread across the entire windshield for no apparent reason. Nothing impacted the windshield like a rock or debris during driving. This happened overnight and then continued to spread, again, for no apparent reason. I have had windshield repair technicians look to see if I am missing something and they also agreed there were no chips or anything obvious that would start the crack on the windshield.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
DRIVING 2022 TELLURIDE ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE. FORWARD COLLISION WARNING ACTIVATED, INITIATED THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, WITHOUT ANY OBJECTS OR TRAFFIC AROUND. THE ACTIVATION WAS UNEXPECTED, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF REASON, SO MUCH SO I INSTINCTIVELY PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WAY AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRONT BUMPER. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, AND HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP AND WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE SUDDEN PLUNGE OFF THE ROAD WAY ENDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN A SEVERE ANGLED DITCH AND I RAN OVER A METAL POST OR SOME OTHER OBJECTS IN THE DITCH WAY AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE.

Had a new transmission installed in February 2022. Now, beginning March 13, warning lights come on to check blind spot and forward collision systems. About 10 seconds after the car lurches violently. This has happened at full speed on interstate which is a huge risk for injury/death. I have video of this phenomenon.
