2022 KIA TELLURIDE Complaints

Sunroof is stuck in an open position unable to be closed. Upon attempting to open the sunroof, the deflector snapped off the assembly and the sunroof track broke. Took car to dealership (Raceway Kia, 4044 US-9, Freehold, NJ 07728) for service. Dealership indicated the sunroof is beyond repair and requires installation of an entirely brand new sunroof assembly at a cost of $5730 because it occurred outside the warranty (warranty expired at 60,000 miles and the car had 70,463 miles when sunroof broke). They were unable to manually close the sunroof as a temporary solution. Therefore, the sunroof remains open due to the broken track and is covered with plastic to avoid the elements. There were no prior symptoms indicating that the sunroof would break in this way. In fact, in three years of ownership, the sunroof was rarely used and only opened a handful of times before breaking. At this time of this writing, the sunroof is available for inspection while I look for more economical means of repair versus the dealership's plan to replace the entire assembly.

The sunroof broke while being opened which required immediate repair since it was propped open. The only fix according to the dealer was to replace the entire unit which cost more than $5k with parts and labor

The sunroof glass of the Kia Telluride EXPLODED while driving on the freeway. It sounded like a gun fired off inside the vehicle. NOTHING hit the glass to cause this to happen.

Received a software "fix" that engages my parking brake every time I turn off the engine. I don't want the parking brake engaged each time I stop - the potential for freezing in place due to cold or rust is too much. Not even sure what this "fix" was supposed to resolve.

The sunroof in my 2022 Kia Telluride will not slide backwards to be completely open. It will slide about an inch then stop. Yesterday I took it to the local Kia dealership who tried to clean the tracks. They told me that didn’t work and that I would need to bring it back, leave it all day and pay close to $400 JUST to find the problem. Today I was taking a look again myself and noticed the deflector is broken. The cheap plastic has just broken right off and the piece is laying there lifeless. Because I travel for work, I am no longer under warranty. An estimate just for parts to fix everything is close to $4000! Without labor!! And, I did all of that research in 10 minutes which would have cost me $400 and a whole day without my car if I had done as they wanted. This is outrageous. My car is TWO years old and already things are breaking. I see in forums that this is NOT a new issue. Why isn’t Kia doing something about this? People don’t have thousands of dollars to just throw around when we already pay an arm and a leg for the car anyway! I am now stuck with a sunroof that doesn’t work properly unless Kia will PUT OUT A RECALL!!!!

Windshield had a small chip and then spidered next day across entire windshield. Dealer said, “So sorry, but can’t help or repair.” The 2020 Telluride had a recall and they fixed my first one after repeated calls.

The contact owns a 2020 Kia Telluride. The contact stated that while reversing, after releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated to 4 MPH. While driving, after releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle independently accelerated. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who informed the contact that the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 38,300.

Description of Problem: Component/System: Windshield Failure/Malfunction: The windshield on my 2022 KIA Telluride developed a 6-inch crack that rapidly expanded to approximately 27 inches over the course of one night while the vehicle was parked in my garage. The crack appeared without any visible external impact or cause. Safety Risk: The sudden and significant expansion of the crack compromises the structural integrity of the windshield, posing potential safety risks for the driver and passengers, including impaired visibility and reduced impact protection. Confirmation/Reproduction: While the issue has not yet been confirmed or reproduced by a dealer or independent service center, I have found numerous online complaints from other KIA Telluride owners experiencing similar issues with their windshields cracking without apparent reason or after minor impacts such as small stones. Inspection: The vehicle and component have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or any other parties at this time. Warning Symptoms: There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the crack’s appearance.

A small rock hit my windshield on my way to work but did not initially appear to cause damage. Upon arriving at work I made no notice of any visible cracks or damage. Went in to the office, worked 8 hours, proceeding to get in my Telluride, removed my sunshade and noticed about an 18" to 24" long crack in my winshield running right down the middle. It was mindblowing how bad the crack was after a day that was not extremely hot or cold.
