ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The display in front of the steering wheel when out yesterday. It is completely black. We have only had the vehicle for three months. There is no way to know what speed you are driving, how much fuel you have, see any warnings or anything! The KIA dealer said they can check out the problem next Wednesday, April 3, which is one week from when the problem occurred. This is a major hazard to not know your speed or be able to receive any warnings.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The instrument panel in front of the driver is black. I’m unable to see the speed limit, warnings, safety or collision warnings, etc. The vehicle is not making any noise or beeping to allude to the fact that there might be an issue but the Kia app is stating that there is an issue. I have used the vehicle yesterday 3/23/24 with no issues and when I went to drive this morning (3/24/24) it’s not working.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Second day we owned this brand new vehicle we had a small rock hit the windshield at highway speed. The impact created an immediate chip and small star in the glass. Within 2 hours it had cracked over 6 inches. I have never had a windshield crack so fast and large after a rock impact. The size of the chip would not lead you to believe the windshield would crack. I have read multiple complaints of this exact same issue.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The Forward Collision Warning has been turning on and off for no reason. River Oak Kia has checked the system once. My windshield has cracked twice. I am having a third windshield installed when I obtain the funds. I purchased the car on 12/30/2023. The windshield has cracked two time and I am about to install third windshield. I am having the same problem with my 2021 palisade.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
On multiple occasions, the automatic braking has engaged while reversing even though there has been no risk of collision. It has happened with no cars, pedestrians, or other obstacles in sight. The brakes engage suddenly and with no warning causing the car to come to a violent stop. In one case it happened while reversing off a main road into our driveway. The sudden and unnecessary stop meant that the front of car was jutting into the main road with oncoming traffic. In other cases, it has just caused immediate unnecessary concern that we have hit something. It is possible to disable this functionality but the setting cannot be saved - so it needs to be disabled every time you turn on the car. We have engaged with the dealer and with KIA directly and neither have offered any solution to the problem. The suggestion seems to be that this is normal behavior for the car. From my perspective this is a defective system and is dangerous. At a minimum, it should be possible to disable it completely.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
There is a design defect in my 2024 Kia Telluride. There is no protection for the condenser/radiator. My air conditioner did not work. Brought it to dealer, dealer said a foreign object penetrated the condenser. I asked how it happened, dealer said there is no protection for the radiator or condenser so this problem may happen again and again. Kia does not offer a screen to be installed in front of condenser/radiator. My bill to repair was $2,400. Plus car rental of $100.. I have Asthma and it was almost impossible for me to drive the 200 miles to get the car to service. I contacted Kia claim # 16235056 and was told they will not help.

I went into the dealership to have the air condition system looked at because on 2/27/2024, the weather was warm enough to have the ac on while driving home. The ac was not working as far as cooling, it was just blowing hot air. No indication of any issue with the coolant system at all. I call and make an appointment to the dealership to have this looked at on 3/02/2024 and they said that the condenser was damaged. They said that they thought it might be from debris from the road, I said at that point I believe it to be a defect on design. They gave a song and dance in regards to my logic but then did say that KIA is aware of the issue but it doesn't happen to much. I have also checked to see if this was and is a design problem, seeing that this particular issue has been going on for several years it should be corrected. This item and the rest of the front of the vehicle go through a lot of stuff over it's time on the road or off-road. Which brings up the other issue that this is an off-road SUV made to not be on regular road conditions whatever they are. This SUV has never been off-road and I have not done anything to the vehicle to cause this issue. It is a design defect and needs to be corrected.

When in snow mode the Vehicle basically shuts all power down when going up an incline from a complete stop. You can’t accelerate at all the gas pedal just goes flat and feels like you’ve lost control of the vehicle completely. This is the third time this has happened. This time The vehicle behind me was inches away from slamming into the back of me. This is a huge safety issue.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
After owning this brand new car for less than 2 months, I've had 2 rocks hit my windshield and resulting in cracks. Those rocks were not big and I wouldn't have expected those to result in actual windshield cracks. After looking this up, it seems that this is a common issues with Kia Telluride and that the quality of the windshields is not great.
