2022 KIA TELLURIDE Complaints

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHEN THE TELLURIDE CRUISE CONTROL IS ACTIVE, THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING WILL ACTIVATE THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM, WITHOUT ANY OBJECTS IN THE ROAD. WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE TO ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (2.15.2022). THE SECOND TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY A WEEK LATER. THE THIRD THIS PAST WEEK (3.18.2022) EACH TIME IT OCCURRED, IT WOULD ALARM, BREAK, AND RETURN TO CRUISE SPEED OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE CRUISE WAS DISABLED. APPOINTMENT FOR WARRANTY CHECK SET FOR (3.23.2022) KIA WAS INFORMED, CUSTOMER REP SAID TO TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP WITH NO OTHER EXPLANATION OR HELP.

Brand new vehicle with 14 miles on it. Drove an hour home from the dealership. There's an issue with the transmission. Transmission will slip / skip gears while both accelerating and braking. Verified in all drive modes (Eco, Normal, Sport, Auto). Burning smell coming from vehicle. Buzzing noise coming from engine bay. Our safety was put at risk because when it shifts gears suddenly the car leaps forward, can even happen during turns. Vehicle has not been inspected by dealership yet as it's about an hour away and we do not feel safe driving the vehicle. No warning lights have appeared. Read others with similar transmission issues needing to be resolved.

After parking, I tryed to retrieve an item that fell between the console and the right side of the Driver's seat . To my horror my arm got stuck. There was nothing I could do and since I am a nurse realized that time was of the essence so I would not lose circulation to my dominant hand. I was able to retrieve my cell phone with my left hand and call 911. It took 3 EMTs to extricate my arm from this terrible design. I currently sustain a bad contussion. During the emergency, my husband also confessed to have gotten his arm stuck with resulting scrapes, bruising and bleeding and our daughter who is a Medical Doctor who borrowed this car also got her arm stuck. This console is too big and too dangerous.

We had a rock hit our windshield and a crack happened. I know this is possible, but of all the cars I’ve driven in my 25 years of driving this has never happened with a simple rock hit. I am in a group for Telluride owners on Facebook. This is a fairly common complaint that is made by owners. I was in a Tiguan group prior to trading that in and never once saw a post for rocks causing cracks. Kia is clearly not using the best glass. This can be very dangerous.

The contact's wife owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated while his wife was reversing, the instrument panel became inoperable. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that as his wife turned off and restarted the vehicle, the instrument panel lights illuminated; however, the failure returned after a while. The contact stated that the failure had been occurring intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. Additionally, the dealer informed the contact that they could not repair the vehicle under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V577000 (Electrical System) since the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,200.

Sunroof spontaneously exploded while driving on the highway at around 65 mph. Fortunately, the shade underneath it was closed so the glass did not get in my car and fortunately, my children were not with me.

Sunroof exploded while driving at 65 miles per hour on I 65 Interstate. We heard an extremely large explosive type sound and saw that the sunroof cover was retracting. Small pieces of glass and rain began falling into the vehicle. It was determined later, that most of the glass was blown outside. It is unknown if the glass pieces made contact with any vehicles behind us. KIA roadside assistance was automatically activated and we requested the address of the nearest KIA dealership. We drove approximately 10 miles to a KIA dealership who placed “crash film” over the gaping hole. The sunroof had been closed before this incident. There were no warning lamps/messages prior to the sunroof exploding.

Purchased on February 10, 2022 after driving a week windshield cracked, traveling at 40mph on city street.

Purchased 2022 Telluride SX on 02/14/2022. Today(2/19/2022) noticed a chip/crack on windshield in driver sight. I believe chip/crack happened for no reason. Crack is in drivers sight and it will be a safety concern.
