POWER TRAIN
THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TELLURIDES AND HYUNDAI PALISADE VEHICLES RIGHT NOW WITH EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WHEN SPEEDS REACH 55MPH - 70MPH. KIA CONSUMER ASSISTANCE AND DEALERS ARE NOT BEING HELPFUL. THEY ROAD FORCED BALANCED MY WHEELS AND SENT ME HOME...I TOLD THEM IT'S NOT FIXED AND NOW THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT BACK. THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON FORUM/MESSAGING BOARD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. KIA REPLACES DRIVESHAFTS/AWD COUPLERS ON SOME WHICH RESOLVES THE ISSUES BUT IGNORES OTHERS. THEY NEED A TSB TO FIX THIS UNIVERSALLY. THIS PIECEMEAL APPROACH HAS GOTTEN THEM IN TROUBLE WITH NHSTA ALREADY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WE PURCHASED OUR 2021 TELLURIDE NOVEMBER 14TH AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER A CHIP APPEARED OR WAS MINOR BEYOND SOMETHING WE RECOGNIZED WHEN WE PURCHASED IT SINCE IT WAS DARK WHEN WE LEFT THE DEALERSHIP ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AND WITHIN SECONDS ESCALATED TO A FULL BLOWN CRACK GREATER THAN 6 INCHES WHEN WE WERE TURNING DOWN A ROAD WHERE THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES OR OUTSIDE INFLUENCES AROUND. THEY SAID BECAUSE IT APPEARS AS THOUGH IMPACT DAMAGE CAUSED IT THAT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD EVEN THOUGH KIA ALREADY HAS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 2020 MODELS WHERE A CHIP QUICKLY BECOMES UNREPAIRABLE BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN THE WINDOW. WE DIDN'T EVEN GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE CHIP FILLED BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WITHIN SECONDS. I'VE OWNED MANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN HIT BY ROCKS AND OTHER DEBRIS ON THE THE ROAD OF FROM SIMPLY BEING OUTSIDE AND HAVE NEVER SEEN A CRACK APPEAR SO QUICKLY AND ESCALATE BEYOND MINOR REPAIRS IN SECONDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2021 KIA TELLURIDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT NOTIFIED ALL STAR KIA EAST (27700 JUBAN RD BLDG. 2, DENHAM SPRINGS, LA 70726) OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR THE NEXT DAY.

THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS VIBRATE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 60-80MPH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON TELLURIDES AND PALISADES THAT IS FIXED BY REPLACING WITH A PROPERLY BALANCED DRIVESHAFT. HOWEVER THE DEALER REFUSES TO PROCEED AND KIA CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A SMALL PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A CHIP. AFTER PARKING AND THEN RETURNING TO THE CAR 2 HOURS LATER THE CHIP HAD SPREAD INTO A VERY LARGE CRACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD SHOULD NOT CRACK AFTER A CHIP LIKE THIS. THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD MUST NOW BE REPLACED AT SIGNIFICANT COST.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I RECENTLY DROVE MY NEW 2021 TELLURIDE SX TO MY CABIN IN GA. AND FOUND A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE BACKWOODS. THE VISIBILITY USING THE LED HEADLIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS ARE TERRIBLE AND POSE A DANGER. IF YOU ARE DRIVING DOWNHILL AND THE ROAD GOES UP OR TURNS YOU HAVE ZERO VISIBILITY, IT ACTUALLY CREATES A LINE AS IN MY PICTURE. I BROUGHT IT INTO MY KIA DEALER AND THEY SAID CORPORATE IS AWARE OF IT BUT THERE IS NO FIX AS OF YET SO THEY ADJUSTED THEM AS BEST THEY COULD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND PEOPLE WILL DIE IF THEY DO NOT GET A A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A RURAL HIGHWAY, TAKING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL, I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE CAR. AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE WAS ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF THE HIGHWAY MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WAS OPEN SLIGHTLY AND OFTEN VIBRATES AT CERTAIN LOCATIONS OF HOW FAR DOWN THE WINDOW IS OPENED. UPON RETURNING HOME FROM SCHOOL DROP OFF, I CHECKED THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR AND GOT A CHAIR TO STAND ON TO SEE THE TOP OF THE CAR. THAT IS WHEN I SAW THE LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SECOND ROW SUNROOF. THE HOLE LOOKED SIMILAR TO A VOLCANO WITH THE JAGGED EDGES POINTING UPWARDS. THE SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE HOLE WERE ALSO AT AN UPWARD INCLINE. THIS TELLS ME THE SUNROOF EXPLODED UPWARDS FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR, NOT FROM AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE. ALSO, THE FACT THAT BOTH FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOWS VIBRATE WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE OPEN TELLS ME THERE IS AN AIR PRESSURE ISSUE WITHIN THE INTERIOR DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE.

BRAND NEW WITH ONLY 772 MILES ON VEHICLE AND THE FIRST ROCK TO HIT WINDSHIELD CAUSED QUARTER SIZE CRACK ON WINDSHIELD. AN I LITERALLY MEAN FIRST TIME A PEBBLE HIT WINDSHIELD SINCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. WAS DRIVING 62MPH ON FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A SMALL TICK AND LOOKED AND IMMEDIATELY WENT REALLY? I HAVE HAD TWO CHIPS ON MY PREVIOUS 8 VEHICLES AND BOTH TIME THE NOISE MADE STARTLED ME AND THIS I ONLY HEARD IT CAUSE MY RADIO WAS OFF.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I DROVE TO WORK, ON A REGULAR ROAD, AT 40-45 MPH. NO ISSUE. I PARKED MY CAR AND WHEN I CAME OUT 12 HOURS LATER I HAD A CRACK THAT STARTED AT THE BASE OF MY WINDSHIELD AND SPREAD ABOUT A QUARTER OF THE LENGTH OF MY WINDSHIELD. I WAS NOT PARKED UNDER A TREE AND THERE WAS NO INCLEMENT WEATHER. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR IT TO HAPPEN. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A WEEK.
