2022 KIA TELLURIDE Complaints

The contact owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated while placing the tongue of the seat belt into the receiver, the driver’s side front seat belt assembly separated from the body of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the seat belt assembly was torqued to the manufacturer specs. The other seat belt assemblies were checked. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle needed to be diagnosed. The failure mileage was 4,040.

Driver assistance causing car to slow down or come to a complete stop on freeway when another car cut in front of me. Also, slowed down when car approaching me getting in turning lane. It is not operating correctly can lead to someone hitting you!

Crack on the inside section of windshield. Top left corner sitting against the roof. Looks to be failure at install.

3 days after receipt of my brand new 2022 Kia telluride I noticed a crack in the top of my winshield. After inspecting there was no visible chip and it started right at the top of the glass. A month the crack took over almost my entire windshield. Disappointed in the quality is an understatement.

Windshield is cracked and only after 3 weeks of purchasing. The crack is in the top middle of the windshield and is spreading very rapidly across the passenger side. Very disappointing considering the price of the vehical!

On July 20th, 2020 while driving our 2022 KIA Telluride at freeway speeds with A/C operating we noticed a change in humidity in the cabin. Immediately looked at the engine temperature gauge and it appeared normal. A few minutes later checked engine temperature again and once more temperature looked normal. Shortly thereafter came to a stoplight and glanced at the instrument cluster and noticed the engine temperature needle was pegged to the far right side of the gauge - indicating a extremely hot engine - and a "Engine Overtemp" message appeared in the message portion of the instrument cluster. The alternator warning symbol was also lit. Immediately pulled off the road into a service station and shut down the engine. Upon opening the hood noticed that the electric fan was running and observed no coolant leaks. Contacted our KIA dealer and upon explaining the problem to their service manager was asked to check the serpentine drive belt. I did so, and found that the belt was shredded and wrapped around the AC compressor pulley. We arranged to have the vehicle towed 100 miles back to our Kia dealer while we arranged transportation for ourselves. At the time of this belt failure this vehicle had approximately 3,600 miles on the odometer. The failed serpentine belt is KIA PN 25212 3LAC0. It is now August 23, 2022 and a replacement belt has been on backorder since July 20, 2022 and the dealer can provide no information as to when the new belt will arrive. We have had no use of this vehicle since the incident occurred and it has been sitting at the dealership.

Vehicle was parked on level ground in the garage with the transmission in park. Parking brake was not set. I returned home in a different vehicle and checked the clearance on the garage door prior to closing it. It was at this point that I noticed that the garage door (which was previously closed) would not be able to close without hitting the Telluride. The Telluride was not driven, moved, touched or occupied during this brief period. Somewhere between opening the garage door and parking my other vehicle, the Telluride rolled back 1-2 feet. I tried pushing it and confirmed it wouldn't move, but it would have been impossible for the garage door to have opened or closed with the Telluride in the current position. As the garage was closed just before I opened it, and there were not any scratches on the Telluride or garage door, there is no explanation other than the Telluride rolled back. Since that incident, we have been setting the parking brake (manually). I understand the EV6 has a recall for a similar issue. Seems like the Telluride may have a similar problem.

Crack appeared in center of windshield after being parked in my driveway overnight. The crack is approximately one inch in diameter and circular.

I have experienced 3 windshield cracks within the visual field since purchasing the vehicle new. Each time the pebbles are small and the crack is requiring complete windshield replacements

We were driving down the freeway and the car overheated and power stopped. Turn our the drive belt was shredded and most of it missing. This was verified by the dealership once it was taken to them. This is a known problem through the community who owns these cars.
