2022 KIA TELLURIDE Complaints

I was the first car in line stopped at a traffic light - no vehicles in front of me - and I heard a loud pop. Immediately, I noticed a curved crack in the upper center of the windshield that wrapped below the rear view mirror area. There was no impact to the glass at the time - the windshield just simply popped for seemingly no reason whatsoever. This has been an issue on 2020 and 2021 Kia Tellurides, and Kia has been aware of this issue for a while, blaming it on a "windshield bonding problem" at the factory.

Exploding Sunroof At approx. 6:45am on July 29th, while driving on highway with no other cars in sight the Sunroof exploded. Sunshade was closed therefore glass did not fall onto us while we were driving. The sound was extremely load, we heard a load pop and then the shattering of glass. We all jumped inside the vehicle but thankfully no cars were in sight around us as we did swerve. We were approx. 2 miles from the dealer's exit so we drove directly to the dealer. Manufacture is not taking any responsibility as they say it was due to impact but there was absolutely nothing that hit our car. No other vehicles around or debris on highway.

Purchased a brand new 2022 Kia Telluride. After less than 5K miles, engine overheated and I had to stop the car in order to let the engine cool down. The coolant level was fine, I did not see any leaks, and I did not notice an smoke from the engine compartment. After 30min of letting the car cool down, I started the car and checked to make sure the radiator fan was working - and it was working fine. The car's temperature gauge showed normal temp. I turned on the heater full blast as I drove home, just in case. Temperature remained normal. I am unsure why the engine temperature reached critical levels causing the warning and beeping from the car's computer. I am still looking for a dealership to schedule diagnostic of the car to figure out the problem. All Kia dealerships are booked until Nov 2022!

Instrument cluster goes blank. “Data error” message displays. Speedometer stops working. Fuel gauge goes to “empty”. Compass displays the opposite of what is true (says I’m going north when actually traveling south). Warning message (voice and display on map) giving me a dangerous warning that I’m traveling north while in a southbound lane. No speedometer puts me and others at risk. Problem has been reproduced at dealership on 7/20/2022. No prior symptoms or warning lights when problem first occurred with 300 miles on the odometer. Created a case number with KIA on 6/23/2022 (14889564). This problem seems very similar if not exactly like NHTSA campaign number 22V344000 and KIA recall number SC237. KIA seems to be dragging their feet in fixing this dangerous problem. It’s been very difficult getting any answers on when they will fix the problem. I could use your help. This issue has occurred 9 times in 8 weeks.

Front windshield developed hairline crack on lower driver side. Crack measures approximately 12 inches in length. No evidence of any impact. Crack noticed by owner at roughly 7AM CDT on Tuesday, Jul 5, 2022. Vehicle had been driven the previous evening by same driver. At that time no crack was noted. Vehicle was garaged overnight. As previously stated, there are no signs of impact or other abnormal stress to the windshield. Vehicle purchased new in July 2021. Dealer to inspect week of July 25, 2022.

Small rock hit windshield which caused the windshield to crack. Never seen a windshield crack so easily.

I was hit on the front driver side of my car by someone who flew through a red light. The impact was so hard that my head slammed against the driver side window and shattered the glass. No airbags in my car deployed. The other drivers airbag deployed. I had to crawl out of the passenger side door because her car was slammed into mine. I sustained a concussion and injury to my arm from the impact. I’m 5’10” and was wearing a seatbelt

We have had the vehicle for less than a year and the windshield has already broken twice from very small/light pebbles. The star caused by the most recent one was so small we didn't even hear it and has now spread to a 30"+ crack across windshield. We learned through researching that the windshields on these cars are becoming notorious for easy breakage and we do not feel safe having such a weak windshield.I have been driving for 18 years and have only ever once before had a windshield need replacement. The crack is so large I am afraid the glass will fall through while driving and it distorts the view. Should not have to keep replacing the windshield for every grain of sand that strikes it!

Windshield cracking on a brand new 2022 telluride. This could cause severe issues at high speeds.

Windshield crack developed 6 inches above from bottom from drive side when driving on highway after 2 hours of drive. No one near my vehicle and not related to any Collison. Crack increased from 3 inch to half of the screen on parked car. Not inspected by police or insurance company as of now. Went to dealer in Norwood, MA and person at dealership reviewed and confirmed it happed without any specific external hit.
