2022 KIA TELLURIDE Complaints

We have taken the vehicle in to Zeigler kia twice to complain about a clicking noise athat sounds like it around the tire area. Neither time has the issue been resolved. We have also taken the vehicle in for a recall that possibly could be related to the sensors being inoperable. This issue has yet to be resolved as well. They are quite unhelpful even making us stay on hold for over 30 minutes to try and speak to a representative. I would like to get the issue resolved as it sometimes sounds like a tire may disconnect.

Driving on the freeway and my sunroof window exploded. It was mid thirty degrees, so the sunroof window was not in use. There was no traffic on the freeway or overpasses, No cars directly in front. We were startled and looked around and heard the noise of broken glass above us. I am planning on taking it into the dealer on Monday. No warning lights or sounds were seen or heard.

The contact owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated while driving at an unknown speed the vehicle lost power, and smoke started coming from under the hood of the vehicle. The contact was able to pull over and shut down the vehicle and the smoke stopped. The contact noticed that the brake control that was added to the vehicle for the tow hitch had melted and burned. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis, and they stated that the tow hitch harness module printed circuit board caused an electrical short. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and they stated there was nothing they could do because the tow hitch and brake control installed in the vehicle was an aftermarket part. The failure mileage was 7,968.

After a short trip to the neighborhood with my toddler son in his car seat, I parked my 2022 Kia Telluride and turned off the engine, got out of the car and took my son out of his car seat. While I was trying to collect my items to get to our home, (my toddler standing waiting for me next to the driver door of the car) the car started to move backwards making a very loud noise. I was stuck in between the driver door but luckily I run with car till it came to a full stop after hitting my neighbor’s mail box. The car is only 6 mths old with about 6500 miles. The car was towed the dealerships (Capital Kia) where we bought the car from and is being examined for default.

Driving slowly after just pulling onto a small road and a passing truck kicked up a very small pebble, it cracked the windshield with almost no impact mark, just left large cracks running across the windshield that spread another 5 inches or so having to drive the car to its destination since there was no one in that remote area to call, no cell service either. I have had many cars get their windshields hit much harder and have never gotten a crack ever, the Telluride windshield is known to be prone to cracking and Kia wont do anything about it. They claimed it was fixed when I asked before buying the car and it is definitely not since I see post after post on the telluride forums of other owners getting cracks sometimes on their first day of ownership.

Dashboard Center LCD screen blacked out right after starting the vehicle. Tried restating the engine but the LCD screen remained blank. I drove 10 miles and after a second restart, the screen came back. The LCD displays important information like the speed and fuel consuption, but I like to use it to display the speed I am driving at as it is more readable than the speedometer. I have scheduled an appointment to have it checked by the dealership.

I was traveling on a local road at approximately 35 mph, with only 1 other vehicle near me. I heard a crack, but did not see any rock hit the windshield. I immediately saw a spider crack form on the driver's side. The car is less than a month old and the windshield has no previous wear.

On 12/09/22, the center lcd instrument cluster went blank 2 different times while my wife was driving. Vehicle has 2200 miles on it. Kia issued a recall in May 2022 for this exact issue but only covered roughly 2700 vehicles. This vehicle does not have an active recall and was produced after the issue was supposedly fixed at the kia factory. Obvious safety issue and clearly affects more than the 2700 vehicles already recalled.

The windows are very loose, if they are down or cracked while driving 60mph+ they shake and rattle seeming like they are going to bust. I only have video proof. The dealership wasn’t able to test drive the vehicle at the speed the problem occurs

Since the purchase of my vehicle 7 30 2022 & after driving the first several times in the darkness/evening hours & since I have had safety concerns that the headlamps in my vehicle are insufficient/inadequate - not just the normal headlights illumination but also the high beams. When the high beams are activated the additional effect is negligible/deliver inferior performance. I have continued to reach out to Kia & thus far they have not been helpful. I believe driving at night time is putting me at a safety risk. The dealership did/does not have a way to test the headlamps in any sort of calibration or measuring means other than to turn on the headlights while in the service area and shine them on a wall. When driving during the night time hours I keep my speed on rural roads typically below the speed limit as I do not feel I could brake/stop the vehicle in the field of vision that the headlight illumination provides. I have reached out repeatedly to the Kia Assistance number & thus far there has been no action or contact made by any positive measures taken to address my concerns. I have even contacted my insurance agent twice to express my frustration of Kia's inadequacy to provide a solution or address my concerns. I ask please for any assistance that you may be able to help remedy this safety/risk concern.
