Windshield easily cracked with a small small kick up in snow. Several small chips in the windshield for low visibility in a car with less than 1500miles on it. Several groups of telluride owners report the same problem on 2020-2022 models

POWER TRAIN
My new AWD 2022 Kia Telluride vibration/ humming at 65 mph and above from day 1. It’s been in service 5 times and they are not able to fix the problem. The dealership we bought it from didn’t even admit there is a problem so we had to take it to another dealership which actually admitted there is a problem. They just changed the drive shaft and rear differential and the problem is still there . It’s been in service longer than it’s been with me. Very frustrating.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I got a Brand New 2022 Kia Telluride. Same day a rock or a piece of debris hit my windshield it was around 3:30 PM, while I was in the last lane to take my exit, so I was going at a very low speed. The impact was not that loud but caused a crack in the windshield, it quickly continue to expand by the time I got home the crack was several inches wide. It is concerning to me that at such low speed the windshield would crack, my previous vehicles had been hit before but never cracked.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LOCK
The door locks on the car will start cycling locked/unlocked very rapidly. Sometimes in only last 10-15 seconds, other times it will not stop until I manually click the lock or unlock button. It does this when it is parked and it does this when the vehicle is in motion. I do have a video on my phone of this. Kia is being of no assistance in getting this resolved. Online there are multiple reports of the exact same scenario and everybody is reporting Kia is not fixing the issue.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I just recently bought a 2022 Kia Telluride 7 days ago and while driving on the freeway the windshield shattered in the lower corner of driver side. There was no car in front of me (not a close distance) or near me for that matter and there was no overpass for a rock to have fallen from. My windshield shattered and glass landed in my face, eyes, and mouth, and all over the inside of my car. Luckily I was able to maintain some control as there were no other vehicles in close proximity. I’ve had rocks hit my windshield before but never to the point of causing this kind of damage. There have been recalls on previous Kia Telluride model and others with 2022 models have been experiencing this issue as well. This is ridiculous and of course the windshield is on back order and KIA expects me to continue driving around with my windshield like this because they don’t know when they’ll have a windshield available. At the dealership they were adamant that a rock hit the windshield however, myself and the passenger did not see a rock and the level of damage that occurred should not have been this high which is concerning as well. There is no way it is safe for me to continue driving like this especially when KIA doesn’t even have an estimated date for me to get this repaired.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
This 2022 Telluride EX was purchased on 7/10 and has about 1015 miles. While driving in a 35 mph zone beside a shopping center, I heard a click and then noticed that I had a chip in the windshield directly in front of the driver side. I never saw a rock or anything hit the windshield and there were no cars in front of me or passing me at the time so I don't believe a rock hit the windshield. I am not exactly positive what happened during this low speed incident but I have never had this with any previous vehicle I have owned. I believe there is a safety issue with the glass on this windshield if it can chip or crack this easily.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
Bought a new 2022 Kia telluride July 26, 2021. on July 27 the LCD instrument cluster went black. I only had the car one day. Came back from the store started the car and it worked. A new car should not have this problem. In the Kia forums many have also had this same problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Instrument panel located between the speedometer and tachometer which shows information such as MPH, tire pressure, miles remaining, etc. intermittently goes blank. When you start the car, it shows a system check then goes blank. This does not happen every time but it happens frequently (once per day). If you shut the car off and open the door, it usually fixes the issue the next time you start the car. This issue began the day after I purchased the car new.

Day 1 of ownership of brand new vehicle. At less than 100 miles on odometer, the center part of the instrument panel goes completely black and does not display pertinent driving information, potentially information necessary for safety purposes. Problem is intermittent. Dealer is unable to fix and unable to determine cause of problem.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
12 hours after departing the dealership with my new car the windshield cracked. I was driving on the freeway and a small pebble size object hit the windshield. Immediately there was a crack and within hours it spread. The object was very tiny. The impact of the object was not strong since I actually assumed it was bird dropping that hit the car. I contacted the dealership and was informed no replacement is available at this time because the car is so new. It is also not under warranty. They have no estimated time as to when I can replace it. I am worried about the safety of my family as the crack continues to spread impacting my visibility. I am concerned it will shatter causing harm to passengers. This problem has been reported by consumers of 2020 model Tellurides and two models later it appears the issue continues with the 2022s.
