VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
Cracked windshield developed within hours and it was sitting in the driveway. I have not had this vehicle for more than 30 days only to find out this is a MAJOR issue I have to jump through hoops to fix. I was sold Ownershield (and sent them photos for review) and was told when sold that product that I could get the KIA windsheild replaced with KIA parts (they knew this would happen). But today I was informed by Ownershield that if I were to use Safelite my claim may not be covered...what a SCAM! It is like a sideways J, right in the middle of the windshield so it is messing with my visibility and is unsafe. No warning of anykind given even after starting up the car. KIA needs accountability on fixing these issues especially with theybare tacking on additional fees for 'shortages'.

POWER TRAIN
I brought my 2022 Kia Telluride with only 12 miles on it in February 12, 2022. Less than 4 months old and only 4177 miles and my transmission has gone out. The dealership I bought has had it for 20 days now. I am told my vehicle is not safe to drive so it has to at the dealership. I have contacted Kia Customer Service they are advising me that the transmission is on back order and not ETA for it.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Upon starting my vehicle morning of 6/16/22 the LCD CLUSTER DISPLAY showed “system check” with the scan of the picture of the SUV then screen went to black. I attempted to restart the vehicle and it did the same thing. I took the vehicle directly to dealer and rep saw the blank display. In addition apple car play stopped working. On 6/20 rep informed me that everything was working and tech was unable to duplicate the problem. There’s obviously something faulty with the vehicle. The car has less than 5500 miles and dealer said since they were unable to duplicate the problem there’s nothing to repair but if it happens again to take it back in. This issue prevents me from being able to see odometer and if I have to wait for a tech to get around to looking at it I risk the chance of the problem temporarily fixing itself before the tech looks at it.

SEAT BELTS
Driver’s (left front) Seatbelt Tongue is sometimes difficult to fully insert into the Seatbelt Buckle. Even worse, sometimes it appears to be inserted, but it is not fully engaged/locked. I’ve inspected buckle and there does not appear to be any debris. Fully pressing the release button on the buckle BEFORE inserting the tongue seems to alleviate the issue. Next time I bring car to dealer, I will have them inspect/diagnose/replace.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The windshield cracked without getting hit by a foreign object. It happened overnight while parked in a garage. It wasn't there the day before or I would have noticed it because it was so visible. It cracked from the very top and spread down around the rearview mirror and spread across and you can't feel the crack either from inside or outside, it is very smooth and you can only see a line.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windshield. Windshield was chipped by a flying rock or piece of debris on the right side just at the edge on February 14, 2022. Within one to two weeks a crack had formed and went two-thirds of the way across the windshield in the view of the driver. Windshield was repaired on March 31, 2022. On April 13, 2022, less than two weeks from the replacement, a flying rock hit the windshield and caused a chip at the very bottom of the middle of the windshield. Within two weeks the chip had formed a crack and went half way up the windshield, turned, and went almost all the way across the passenger side of the windshield - in the view of the passenger. it appears many Kia owners have had the same issue with small chips causing extreme cracks in the windshield which resulted in having to replace the windshields numerous times.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I was driving over the Harbor Bridge in Corpus Christi, Texas with my kids and nephew when suddenly my front sunroof exploded. It blew from inside out based on the way the glass is pointing outward. Luckily I didn’t wreck into another car, or even have my sunroof headliner open. Kia said theirs no recall under my vin, but there are several other people I’ve found online with the same car and issue.

Tiny rock, not visible to me but heard a soft tink sound, hit the windshield causing tiny chip and a huge crack from near the top of the drivers side to the bottom near the wipers. No reason for a tiny pebble to completely crack a windshield.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
Purchased 2022 Telluride Nightfall EX end of August and at the beginning of March and within about 6000 miles a small rock kicked up from a car caused a chip which spread to a large crack the next day. Dealership would not replace due to chip that wasn’t even visible as it was in lower passenger corner of black area. Glad I purchased all the extra coverages offered by the dealer and paid more than MSRP due to an unsolicited dealer fee!

VISIBILITY/WIPER
Windshield appeared to have 6 inch crack in windshield, even though no rock or chip were noticed. Crack grew to an 18inch crack within 1 day. Crack will likely spread across entire windshield and inhibit visibility. This was 1 year to the day of purchasing the vehicle. Brought it to the dealers attention, and they are aware of the issue with 2020 models, but didn't have guidance from KIA on 2021 models.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
Instrument panel is not functioning, vehicle is currently at service center waiting for replacement part to determine if this will correct all issues which includes gear shift light indicator not working, voice command stating “turn around you are entering the wrong way” randomly while driving and the instrument panel. Initially the instrument panel screen would alternate between working fine to intermittently being partly or fully snowy before it would go completely dark. This pattern continued until mid May when it went completely dark and has stayed this way. Although there is no recall at this time on my specific vehicle I’m concerned that this ongoing issue could potentially caused me harm while driving.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Both high beams stop working without any advice. While driving at night low beams provide low visibility and when I try to use high beam did not change at all from low beam. This truck comes with a system that moves low beam light to high beam light only one bulb ( one filament ) no two filaments. There is 37 complaints online and no recall. Visibility is a hazard in united states.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
basically the windshield is defective this model and Dan Obrien Kia Concord New Hampshire (lynn/ in service took pictures and said it would be two days to order it in ? says that they’re not gonna handle it basically even though they have for others? I got this info from Kia consumers affairs case# 14813171 Mike and Kayla . I’ve talked to Kia consumer affairs and haven’t got an answer but they were quicker to respond. Dan O’Brien never responded back to me. so the window started with a 4 to 6 inch crack now it’s been two weeks no answers other than no and Kia directly said that the Vin is within the guidelines of the letter that they circulated so they replaced it for others but they can’t do this one? I keep getting the phone tag game transferred to different states and also they’re not covering their warranty that they promised. On drive train

While driving the car, the speedometer on the car read 0, the entire drive. It would not register how fast or slow I was going. I tried turning off the car and turned it back on, it continued to not read my speed. I have video of the entire incident, but it looks like I can't download video to this site.
