I was driving down the highway only car on the road and my sunroof glass exploded from the inside the car blew a large hole out of the top. I had thousand of pieces of sharp glass rain down on me going 70 mph down the highway. I have no idea why in 2024 that this glass is not required to be laminated above your head. As I am doing my research this is a problem by many manufacturers. KIA has had many of these same incidents I described and no recalls yet. I took it in to the local dealership and the repair cost was $5,000 said the track was contaminated by glass and would need to be replaced. They denied the warranty and stated it was a rock that did it with no proof.

There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continue driving.

STRUCTURE:BODY
10 months after purchasing brand new vehicle from dealership, the windshield developed large crack for no apparent reason--no debris or collision. Need to replace due to inability to see out and possibility of further cracking/breaking. A class action lawsuit against this company is taking place for this very issue, yet no recall exists. I am forced to pay $500 out of pocket (deductible) in order to get this remedied. Dealership informed me that warranty does not cover this.

SEATS
The front passenger power seat folded in on my son while I was driving yesterday without warning. The back rest moved forward causing my son to have to bend over to move with it. At first, the seat would not move but he was able to after a few minutes. I immediately pulled over to ensure there was nothing in the way to cause this to happen, but I did not see anything there. I'm not sure if this is related to the recent recall, but it is a safety risk not only to my passenger but also to me as the driver. I have not had it inspected, and I am available to have it inspected upon request. I called the dealership that I purchased my vehicle from, and they stated that they have no knowledge of this incident happening with any other vehicle.

SUSPENSION
The rear suspension is incredibly creaky sounding. It constantly makes noise at every slight bump and turn regardless of speed. Kia service admitted there is a known issue with the self levelling shocks on the '23 Tellurides and said I should replace them.

Cross bar key covers keep coming loose and flapping around while driving. They do not stay engaged. I note this was an issue in 2020 models. Please require another technical service bulletin requiring them to fix this. It is dangerous if it flies off while driving and hits other vehicles.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I purchased my 2024 Kia LX AWD Telluride on 2/29/24, it had approximately 2,100 miles when my cluster screen went black. This occurred on 5/25/24 without warning. I went to turn my truck on and was unable to read the speedometer, RPM, gas gauge, mileage, and engine temperature. The blindspots warning, or other safety warnings were not working properly. When using the navigation system it wouldn't work properly. It seemed as though it was confused on the direction I was going. I called the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they were able to get me in for a service repair in 1.5 weeks. Dropped my vehicle off and came back for it a couple hours later. They mentioned the electrical was fine, and could have been that it was loose, and a bump in the road could have caused it. Although, the screen didn't go out while I was driving. They also fixed other items that it has recalls for, such as, radiator cover, and ABS. I was not charged for any of these repairs/services. The dealership was very friendly and responsive.

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
The sunroof did not closed and made a pop sound and after that it was mis aligned and failed to close, one arm was broken and the sunroof was hanging on the other one. Called the Kia Riverside dealership they said they dont have any tech for sunroof. Ended up taking to cerritos dealership and they said i have to leave it for 7 days without loaner just to inspect and it will cost 257 bucks for inspection only. Then I decided to take it to a local shop and they quoted me a total of 3740 bucks including 2800 for parts. I ended up using them to just force close the glass so that its not a safety issue anymore.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On Friday [XXX], my vehicle began failing to brake after being in traffic for about 45 minutes. I had to punch the brake with my foot, hitting the floor, and it would continue to roll. It was towed to Courage Kia in Gastonia on [XXX]. On 5/14, they identified an issue with the HECU. Since then, they have been “running tests” with engineering to try to identify the issue. However, I’m seeing years of these complaints online and this can’t be the first time this has happened. I do not have any paperwork yet, because nothing has been done. There were no warning lights on in my car. It is currently available for inspection at Courage Kia in Gastonia.

SUSPENSION
The Right Rear Strut Assembly is faulty. Warranty work has been done to vehicle in the past for the faulty strut. Brought Vehicle back into dealership and they brush it off saying it was my tire condition causing the noise. New Tires were purchased To no avail. The exact same noise continues inside the cabin of tapping noise. Dealership was able to reproduce the noise but they were not specific as to what was causing the noise on my service documentation.
