    Both high beams stop working without any advice. While driving at night low beams provide low visibility and when I try to use high beam did not change at all from low beam. This truck comes with a system that moves low beam light to high beam light only one bulb ( one filament ) no two filaments. There is 37 complaints online and no recall. Visibility is a hazard in united states.

    basically the windshield is defective this model and Dan Obrien Kia Concord New Hampshire (lynn/ in service took pictures and said it would be two days to order it in ? says that they’re not gonna handle it basically even though they have for others? I got this info from Kia consumers affairs case# 14813171 Mike and Kayla . I’ve talked to Kia consumer affairs and haven’t got an answer but they were quicker to respond. Dan O’Brien never responded back to me. so the window started with a 4 to 6 inch crack now it’s been two weeks no answers other than no and Kia directly said that the Vin is within the guidelines of the letter that they circulated so they replaced it for others but they can’t do this one? I keep getting the phone tag game transferred to different states and also they’re not covering their warranty that they promised. On drive train

    I noticed a small crack in the windshield one day. The next day it grew longer. Then it split out on two sides. It appears to be growing rapidly and I need the windshield repaired. There is a Kia Telluride Good Faith repairs I would like to utilize for the repair/replacement.

    We were driving down a road on San Juan Island on May 1, 2022 when a small pattern of radio cracks appeared in the middle of the front windshield. No collision of any kind occurred, and there was no evidence of road gravel damage. We did not hear any impact. There were no other vehicles in front of our vehicle when the cracks appeared. The weather was partly cloudy and the temperature was moderate. We are at a loss to explain the cracks. They interfere seriously with driver visibility and will definitely require the windshield to be replaced.

    Got a small ding in the bottom right hand corner of the windshield which was barely visible when it happened. Although I heard the slight sound of something hitting the windshield there was no obvious damage like a smashed glass appearance. However parked the car in the garage and next day when I went out to the car there was a crack that went up the right side of the windshield and then went 1/2 way across vertically to stop just under the mirror. I have no choice but to replace the windshield. I've never seen a window crack like this from such minor damage. It clearly has to be defective.

    High beams do not switch on from low beams. Safety is put at risk due to not being able to have visual on roads with no street lights in rural areas. The problem has been reproduced even with new bulbs. No warring messages have appeared.

    We have repaired the windshield several times and replaced it, and even the new windshield is cracked with the smallest of pebbles. We have never had problems like this on our other vehicles. We have gone 15+ years without a windshield claim on insurance, and now we have ½ dozen on one car that is less than 2 years old.

    The 2020 Kia Telluride has a major, yet well-known design flaw regarding the heater block/heater core causing the blowing heat to drop when the car is at idle or moving at low RPMs. As someone living in Minnesota, it's absolutely absurd that a car can be considered "operating as designed" when the car literally has no heat during traffic or at idle - this has the potential to cause occupants serious injury or even death while waiting for assistance in the event of a flat tire or spinout during cold months. We noticed the issue in December 2021 but the dealer was so backed up with Kias that it couldn't get in for service until February 1st. The car was taken to the dealer on 2/1, 2/15, and 2/25 - the thermostat was replaced but I was told at the last visit that there is nothing else that can be done. The tech at the dealer agreed with the problem but was told by the Kia Techline that everything was within the specifications of the design. How can Kia ethically (and knowingly) sell a vehicle that doesn't provide heat in a state that is regularly below zero (and even below freezing) for over half of the year?

    While operating the vehicle and braking, the dashboard warnings lights began flashing. The brake pedal went to the floor and did not brake the vehicle. No amount of pumping of the brakes helped. At about 3-5 MPH I struck the stopped vehicle in front of me at an intersection. Later that day the same thing happened, and this time I pulled the emergency brake lever and held it. The warning alarm sounded but the brakes never slowed or stopped the vehicle. I drove the vehicle safely to a repair shop and it was then towed to a Kia dealership. Where it is available for inspection. The error codes on the ECM indicate that the right rear ABS Speed Sensor has lost communication. I do not know if the component has been inspected by KIA. When the failure occurs the BCW light goes on, the ABS light goes on, the Master warning light goes on, the Electronic Stability Light goes on, and the AUTO HOLD lights amber. The dealership has reviewed the codes on the ECM which follows: ABS/ESC(+EPB) 2 Codes 1.C121102: Wheel Speed Sensor Rear-RH Invalid/no Signal 2.C121002: Wheel Speed Sensor Rear-RH Range / Performance / Intermittent Integrated Body Control Unit- BCM 1 Code 1.B121200: Front Center Right Sensor Fault Integrated Body Control Unit- SMK 1 Code 1.B121200: Front Center Right Sensor Fault Integrated Body Control Unit- TPMS 1 Code 1.B121200: Front Center Right Sensor Fault PSM (Power Seat Module) 1 Code 1.B163700: System Not Initialized BCW (Blind-Spot Collision Warning) 2 Codes 1.C169381: ESC Signal Error 2.C167581: Signal WHEEL FL or WHEEL FR or WHEEL RL or WHEEL RR not Valid MFC (Multi Function Camera) 1 Code 1.C186286: Invalid Signal of SCC SCC (Smart Cruise Control) 3 Codes 1.C121181: Wheel Speed Sensor Rear-RH Invalid/no Signal 2.C136081: ESP Irreversible Error 3.C174181: ESC-not available VSM (Check ESC) 4WD Control 1 Code 1.P183000: Clutch Torque Tolerance Lower Limit.
