THE WINDSHIELD HAS APPEARED TO CRACK FOR NO REASON. WE DID RECEIVE A LETTER FROM KIA SAYING THEY WOULD REPLACE IT BUT THEY NEED TO ACTUALLY RECALL THESE WINDSHIELDS IF THEY ARE HAVING SUCH AND ISSUE WITH THEM. I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 4 MONTHS. NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS BUT WE JUST NOTICED IT THIS WEEKEND.

I'VE HAD MY 2020 KIA TELLURIDE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, GOT INTO THE CAR WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. NEVER HEARD A ROCK HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AT ANY TIME (I'M THE ONLY DRIVER), THE CRACK STARTED IN TOP CORNER ON PASSENGER SIDE AND TRAVELED ACROSS THE TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD IN ABOUT 3 HOURS. HAD A 2014 SORENTO WITH 12 TO 14 ROCK CHIPS THAT NEVER SPREAD LIKE THIS.

NIGHT DRIVING IS HORRIBLE ON THE EX TRIM WHERE VISIBILITY ON EITHER SIDE IS DANGEROUS. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN BECAUSE THE VISIBILITY IS SO POOR. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. PLEASE DON'T WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE FATALLY INJURED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

LIGHTING FAILS TO ILLUMINATE TO THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE ON THE EX TRIM SO THAT THERE ARE SPOTS OF NO LIGHTING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING CORNERS. THIS SHOULD BE REMEDIED AND A RECALL ISSUED TO CORRECT THE CONCERN AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

BLIND SPOT COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONS WHENEVER IT RAINS. VEHICLE HAS 3000 MILES ON IT AND FOR THE 5TH TIME IN 2 MONTHS THE BLIND SPOT SYSTEM ALARM SYSTEM GOES OFF WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. DEALERSHIPS REFUSING TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM UNLESS THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WHICH IT TURNS OFF ONCE THE SENSORS DRY OFF LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE TOO BRIGHT... POLICE HAVE STOPPED ME TWICE THINKING THEY ARE HIGH BEAMS.. ALSO ONCOMING TRAFFIC CONTINUES TO BLAST THERE HIGH BEAMS AT OUR VEHICLE THINKING OUR HIGH BEAMS ARE ON CAUSING A DANGEROUS DRIVING SITUATION.. LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO FIX WARRANTY PROBLEMS BECAUSE CAR WAS NOT PURCHSAED FROM THEM

VISIBILITY/WIPER
LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY NEW KIA TELLURIDE, THE WINDSHIELD SUSTAINED A HIT FROM A SMALL ROCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE ROCK HIT SOUND WAS LOUDER THAN WHEN THIS HAPPENED IN OTHER CARS I HAVE DRIVEN. IT WAS VERY LOUD. I COULD SEE THE HIT RIGHT AFTER ON MY WINDSHIELD AND COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. THE DIAMETER AND DEPTH OF THE HIT WERE SERIOUS. I TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO A GLASS REPAIR VENDOR PER GEICO. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE WINDSHIELD DAMAGE WAS A COMPOUND FRACTURE AND THAT I WOULD NEED AN ENTIRE NEW WINDSHIELD. THEN THE TECHNICIAN ASSIGNED TO WORK WITH ME TOLD ME TO GO WITH A PATCH FOR NOW BECAUSE HE COULD REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD AND THEN THIS MIGHT HAPPEN ALL OVER AGAIN IN A FEW MORE DAYS. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH A PATCH SINCE IT WAS FIXED SWEATING EVERY DAY THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS NOT GOING TO HOLD UP. NOT ONLY THIS, I HAVE QUESTIONED WHETHER OR NOT I CAN EVEN RUN THIS CAR THROUGH A CARWASH. I AM AFRAID OF ANY PRESSURE BEING PUT ON THE DAMAGED SPOT WILL MAKE THE HAIRLINE CRACKS GET LARGER BECAUSE THE PATCHED AREA ITSELF IS SHOWING SMALL HAIRLINE CRACKS COMING OUT FROM THE SIDES AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY AND THOSE OF MY PASSENGERS IF THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT GET FIXED. ALL OF THIS SAID, I AM ENCOURAGED THAT KIA IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT BECAUSE THEY SENT ME A LETTER AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THAT THE WINDSHIELD WOULD BE REPLACED. I HAVE ONLY STARTED THIS PROCESS AND HOPE IT GOES WELL. I AM SAD TO BUY THE FIRST NEW CAR I HAVE OWNED IN A LONG TIME AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN EVEN BEFORE I HAVE MADE THE FIRST CAR PAYMENT. AGAIN, I AM ENCOURAGED THAT KIA IS STANDING BEHIND ITS BRAND AND PROACTIVELY OFFERING TO HELP TELLURIDE CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS.

MY WINDSHIELD HAS TWO CRACKS IN THAT IMPAIRS VISIBILITY. IT WAS NOT HIT BY DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD. THE BOTH START FROM THE EDGE OF THE GLASS AND SPREAD ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND CAN HAVE IT REPLACED FOR 800.00!!!!!! I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO IT BEING A WIDESPREAD ISSUE.

ON THE 19TH OF FEBRUARY, 2020 AT APPROX. 11:00AM, I WAS HEADING EAST BOUND ON I-44 NEAR FT LEONARD WOOD, MO WHEN MY SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED. I HAD MY CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 72MPH. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN MY GENERAL AREA. ALL WINDOWS WERE ROLLED AS WELL AS THE SUNROOF BEING CLOSED, WITH THE INSIDE SUN SHADE BEING IN THE CLOSED POSITION. INSIDE TEMP WAS SET AT 72 DEGREES WITH THE FAN SETTING ON THE THIRD SETTING. I AM UNSURE OF THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE BUT IT WAS ABOVE FREEZING. MY LOCAL KIA DEALER, ROPER KIA OF JOPLIN, MO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THURSDAY MORNING AT 8AM, AFTER THEIR INSPECTION THEY CONTACTED THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER WHO AUTHORIZED THE SUNROOF TO BE REPLACED UNDER GOODWILL WARRANTY AT NO COST TO MYSELF.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BLIND SPOTS ON THE SIDES. WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES YOU LOOSE THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NO VISIBILITY AT ALL AT NIGHT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TALKED TO COMPANYS THAT INSTALLS HEADLIGHTS AND OTHER MECHANICAL PARTS TO VEHICLES AND WAS TOLD THAT ADDING FOG LIGHTS WILL NOT HELP BECAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ONLY PROJECTING FORWARD LIGHTS. WAS TOLD THAT ADDING FOG LIGHTS WOULD ONLY PROJECT FORWARD ALSO BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY WOULD HAVE TO SET. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED!!!

WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, LIKE GLASS BREAKING AS WE WERE DRIVING. THE NEXT DAY WE WENT TO OUR TELLURIDE AND FOUND THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED ALMOST HALFWAY ACROSS. THE CRACK STARTED IN THE UPPER CORNER, PASSENGER SIDE, AND TRAVELED DOWNWARD TOWARD THE CENTER. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN DECEMBER. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE CRACK TRAVELED BUT WE HEARD THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING.

HALOGEN BULBS IN HEADLIGHTS ON S TRIM ARE SUBOPTIMAL FOR ROADWAY ILLUMINATION DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING REGARDLESS OF TERRAIN, ENVIRONMENT, OR DIRECRION. UPGRADE TO LED BULBS SHOULD RESULT IN IMPROVED VISIBILITY.
