2020 KIA TELLURIDE Complaints

The rear self leveling shocks have locked up resulting in bone shattering jolts. The Telluride forum reveals these shocks frequently fail at low mileage and affect the cornering and stopping characteristics of the vehicle.

High beam lights just stopped working as soon as my warranty was up. Went to Kia they said i would have to replace my entire light housing

Switching from low to high beam does not operate. Vehicle no longer allows high beams.

2020 Kia Telluride 70,000 miles. Sunroof/moonroof off track and cannot close. Kia refuses to cover under warrantee despite car being only three years old. Both social media and NHTSA have multiple complains from other kia Telluride owners of identical issue.

Over the past 2 weeks my Telluride has stalled when restarting at a turn or sign sign 3x. I didn't take it to the mechanic yet because it restarts fine and there are no lights on the dashboard or codes so I know the mechanic would send me away. Tonight I was driving home on a local highway and heard horrific sounds coming from the car and smoke from under the hood. I pulled over to the side of the road, the lights all came on the dashboard, and the car turned itself off and would not come back on. I had to be towed. After my Telluride was up on the flatbed, the tow truck driver told me it was bad news. He pointed to some liquid and debris on the road and told me those were pieces from my engine. My engine blew up! He said it was a known thing with Kia engines. My car is 3 years old and had 69,500 miles on it. i have made sure it has all needed upkeep.

I live in the desert where there isn't any light at night. I was driving home as usual and my highbeams would not turn on. I couldn't see very well because it was so dark and had to go really slow and way under the speed limit. I was so nervous due to the lack of visibility. It put myself and my young kids in danger. I don't feel safe driving at night now. There was no warning indication on the dash. It shows the blue highbeam light when I turn them on, but they don't actually go on.

Windshield cracks with minimal pressure. I have replaced 3 windshield within a year. The smallest rock causes chips that instantly spread.

The high beam headlights have stopped working out of the blue. The standard headlights are working. I live in dark rural area and rely on these high beams for night driving. Wondering in there is going to be a recall to repair this issue.

The contact owns a 2020 Kia Telluride. The contact stated that while driving at night at an undisclosed speed, the high-beam headlight switch was activated; however, the high beam headlights failed to operate as designed. The contact was concerned that the failure could cause an accident because the illumination was not adequate while driving at night. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.

I had service on my vehicle on 6/1/23. Now my vehicle has lost complete power several times while driving. The vehicle shuts completely down and the hazards or no other function works when this happens. I lifted my hood and open the positive battery box and the vehicle turns back on. When this happens the rear seats automatically move and fold on their own. I have witness to this event happening on 3 occasions. I reported this issue to kia on 6/30 and I have gotten no response from corporate or the dealership service department where the service was performed.
