Within the first 1000 miles my windshield chipped. Now at 8000 miles, there is another crack. Seems to be a common issue with this vehicle that the windshield is soft and not durable.

I purchased my new Kia Telluride on 10/28. On 11/10 I was driving on the highway when I heard a rattling noise from the engine and realized I was losing speed, with an unresponsive gas pedal. I was in a construction zone and managed to find a safe place to pull over - but it was an extremely dangerous situation. As I sat on the side of the highway, I realized the steering wheel had locked and all electricals had also gone down. There were only 300 miles on the car at the time. The diagnosis is that the “engine seized” but there is no known cause - likely a manufacturer’s defect.

Kia connect safety services are not available in Massachusetts due to Kia not complying with the right to repair law. When in an accident emergency services are not called and this poses a big safety threat as there is a delay to services arriving to help in the case of an accident. Kia should be forced to separate the telematics service information from key emergency services capabilities so that this car and every Kia in Massachusetts has the equivalent safety capabilites to others

Within a week of taking delivery of my car after purchase the lower right corner of my windshield developed a 16" crack. To my knowledge, my windshield had not been struck by any object and I had only driven it 300 miles since picking it up. The crack is a safety issue as it limits or inhibits visibility through the windshield.

We bought a 2024 Kia Telluride and had it literally 2 weeks long with about 684 miles. My husband and I were driving on a major highway and suddenly we hear a noise and engine line pops up on screen. Car proceeds to literally shut off, the wheel locked up, and we barely made it to shoulder of highway. This was huge safety issue, we had cars honking and speeding by us at 70+. We called the Kia roadside assistance who didn’t get a tow truck there till 3 hours later. We don’t have anything paper wise yet from the service department . They called and said engine was seized and needing replacement. We are very concerned about getting new engine that could potentially do this again.

The bottom bolt that attaches the second row driver side seatbelt to the side of the car came loose and fell out when a passenger tried to buckle up.

Car was traveling down the road at 45 miles an hour. The windshield cracked under normal driving conditions. Living in Iowa this would fall under the class action.

Brand new 2024 Kia Telluride. Came outside this morning to see a nice crack across the drivers side of the windshield happen before my eyes when I turned on defrost and windshield wipers for the rain. I see this was a common problem with 2023 Kia's. Also after speaking to Service dept (Gay Kia, Dickinson, TX). I truly get the feeling this is still an issue. Biggest down side to this, is they tell me they cant even get me a 2024 telluride windshield right now. if you rub your finger across windshield you definitely can feel a extremely small chip feeling in the glass.
