2024 Kia Telluride

The cluster display on the vehicle has went black. i am unable to see my speed, gas level, nor use cruise control. this is now the second time this has happened and kia has no solutions for repair.

Vehicle was turned on and the dashboard displaying speedometer and rpms is completely black.

Car is parked, off and locked tailgate has automatically opened. this has happened 3 or 4 times now.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer for a routine oil change prior to the failure. the vehicle was taken to another local dealer, van nuys kia (6115 van nuys blvd., van nuys, ca 91401); where it was diagnosed that the evaporator cooler and charcoal canister were leaking emissions. there was a small leak in the evaporator system. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that there were no recalls or warranty coverage on the vehicle. the failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

Windshield made a popping noise while stopped at a signal light and a crack began to spread from the bottom left side of the drivers side, up the middle of the glass towards the passenger side. there are two cracks forming,

The front passenger seat of my 2024 kia telluride began emitting smoke while i was driving it. it quickly incapsulated the entire interior of my vehicle in thick smoke. the fire department had to be called to extinguish the fire. prior to a fire starting while i was driving my vehicle, my vehicle had been in for a recall where they allegedly fixed the problem. the kia telluride is not safe for anyone to drive when the product they’re producing starts a fire while it’s being driven.

During normal driving conditions, the windshield started cracking halfway up the drivers side horizontally. the crack begins from the edge under the trim and goes almost halfway across. the windshield does not appear to have been damaged in any way and no impacts from rocks. i saw the crack start from the outer edge and travel across the windshield as i was driving. the vehicle is kept in a garage. i contacted the dealer and they told me to contact kia customer service which i am doing later today. this certainly appears to be a defect and is a safety hazard as the glass cracked without any direct cause. the vehicle is available for inspection.

While driving under normal conditions and with significant distance from another vehicle in front of me, a small rock/pebble hit the windshield of my vehicle, which caused a rock chip. the rock chip quickly "spidered" out and spread within a matter of an hour. currently there are known and report manufacturer defects with regards to kia windshields, specific but not limited to the telluride model. in my case i have a 2024 kia telluride sx-prestige x-pro. i have also discovered a chip in the rear passenger side window. my vehicle is approximately 23 days from the date of purchase (7/8/2024). i am aware that there is an open class action lawsuit against kia for 2019-2022 telluride model vehicles. this needs to be extended through to the 2024 model years.

Only had vehicle 2 weeks and a small debris (pebble or dirt) hit windshield only going around 30mph and windshield chipped. when trying to do windshield repair kit on chip, the chip turned into a long crack. i had seen class action lawsuits where telluride windshields were weak/defective and this still seems to be the case.

4 days after i bought the car brand new on an off ramp going about 30mph a car sent a pebble into my windshield. it made a chip and then a crack about 12” long. called kia dealership and they said they won’t repair because rock hit windshield. there is a class action lawsuit against kia and their windshields cracking. upon waiting for insurance and a new windshield 3 days later the crack has gotten bigger without driving. it is a hazard because glass could shatter and now the crack is disturbing visibility

Vehicle at 700 miles is having suspension issues causing bumping and shaking during the ride making it unsafe.

Winow satin trim - rust spots showing on the satin trim around vehicle windows upon receipt of vehicle. contacted original dealership that sold us the vehicle about the issue immediately, no assistance was given. took the vehicle to another dealership this morning to notify them of the issue, have it officially documented, and request a warranty request be submitted. the vehicle had never been washed or detailed prior to the appearance of the spots. unfortunately, the vehicle arrived from the dealership with the rust-looking defect. after some quick research, this seems to be an ongoing issue with some kias, regardless of model. i have owned this vehicle for 2 months and notified the same dealership that it was purchased from immediately upon receipt and no assistance has been given, just a suggestion to clean it. the spots have not lessened. i would like my brand new car purchase to look like a new vehicle, sans rust-like defects on satin trim.

Unknown - we have discovered a substantial amount of water coming up from the flooring behind the passenger seat under the second row of our 2024 kia telluride purchased 2 months ago. took the dealership this morning and after 4 hours attempting to diagnose where the water was coming from, they were unsuccessful. they checked ac lines, making sure nothing was disconnected or clogged, checked seals on doors, etc. they got the vehicle lifted to look underneath and were able to remove a panel to expose a rubber gasket that they removed under the second row passenger flooring and water gushed out! additionally, the vehicle has begun to smell of mildew/mold and i am concerned for my young families safety, as i have three children under the age of 5 that spend a significant part of their day in the vehicle between drop-off and pick-up at school, to and from extra curricular activities, errands, etc. the dealership is attempting to obtain a loaner vehicle large enough for our three car seats so that they can have the vehicle for a day or two to officially diagnose the issue, but i am devastated that the significant amount of water we’ve been removing from the car has caused mold in the cabin and will cause burnout of wiring/electronics in the future. we are a military family, this is our first brand new vehicle and the primary vehicle for our large family. we purchased the vehicle in july and it had less than 3,000 miles when the issue was reported. it’s terrifying to think that this issue could potentially cost us thousands on the devaluation of our vehicle in addition to the risk to our family’s health and safety.

I was driving down the highway at 65mph and my 2024 kia telluride sunroof violently imploded. i pulled over thinking i was shot at by a gun, but there was no evidence that i was hit by something. it felt like an explosion next to my face. very loud! i have 490 miles on this vehicle. i have called kia dealership and they are going to investigate and call me back. no warnings went off in the vehicle and i was not harmed but i do have anxiety now. worried it will happen again once fixed. i honestly felt like this was a safety issue and so i went online only to find this has happened to others all over. not sure how this has happened to so many others and there is no recalls. please help me understand. this was very scary.

Brand new 2024 kia telluride. came outside this morning to see a nice crack across the drivers side of the windshield happen before my eyes when i turned on defrost and windshield wipers for the rain. i see this was a common problem with 2023 kia's. also after speaking to service dept (gay kia, dickinson, tx). i truly get the feeling this is still an issue. biggest down side to this, is they tell me they cant even get me a 2024 telluride windshield right now. if you rub your finger across windshield you definitely can feel a extremely small chip feeling in the glass.

Car was traveling down the road at 45 miles an hour. the windshield cracked under normal driving conditions. living in iowa this would fall under the class action.

The bottom bolt that attaches the second row driver side seatbelt to the side of the car came loose and fell out when a passenger tried to buckle up.

Within a week of taking delivery of my car after purchase the lower right corner of my windshield developed a 16" crack. to my knowledge, my windshield had not been struck by any object and i had only driven it 300 miles since picking it up. the crack is a safety issue as it limits or inhibits visibility through the windshield.

The windsheild easily cracks. less than 1000 miles and it cracked.

We bought a 2024 kia telluride and had it literally 2 weeks long with about 684 miles. my husband and i were driving on a major highway and suddenly we hear a noise and engine line pops up on screen. car proceeds to literally shut off, the wheel locked up, and we barely made it to shoulder of highway. this was huge safety issue, we had cars honking and speeding by us at 70+. we called the kia roadside assistance who didn’t get a tow truck there till 3 hours later. we don’t have anything paper wise yet from the service department . they called and said engine was seized and needing replacement. we are very concerned about getting new engine that could potentially do this again.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated that while driving with the vehicle in snow mode, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. the contact switched to sport mode for the vehicle to respond and accelerate as needed. there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the contact stated that while his wife was driving and switching to snow mode, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and depressed to the floorboard but the vehicle failed to accelerate. the driver switched to sport mode to drive the vehicle as needed. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was approximately 5,800. the vin was not available.

Kia connect safety services are not available in massachusetts due to kia not complying with the right to repair law. when in an accident emergency services are not called and this poses a big safety threat as there is a delay to services arriving to help in the case of an accident. kia should be forced to separate the telematics service information from key emergency services capabilities so that this car and every kia in massachusetts has the equivalent safety capabilites to others

I purchased my new kia telluride on 10/28. on 11/10 i was driving on the highway when i heard a rattling noise from the engine and realized i was losing speed, with an unresponsive gas pedal. i was in a construction zone and managed to find a safe place to pull over - but it was an extremely dangerous situation. as i sat on the side of the highway, i realized the steering wheel had locked and all electricals had also gone down. there were only 300 miles on the car at the time. the diagnosis is that the “engine seized” but there is no known cause - likely a manufacturer’s defect.

Within the first 1000 miles my windshield chipped. now at 8000 miles, there is another crack. seems to be a common issue with this vehicle that the windshield is soft and not durable.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph in snow mode, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. the vehicle was started but was unable to drive as needed for approximately 30 minutes. the contact stated that after turning off and restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal operation. the contact pulled over to the side of the road and had the vehicle towed. the vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 1,748.

The panoramic instrument cluster would not display any information. since the entire instrument cluster is electronic, no information on vehicle speed, rpms, gas, battery, etc. could be shown. vehicle would still start fine and drive fine, but vital driving information could not be displayed

Windshield crack appeared spontaneously while driving at 20mph in parking lot. no known impact with rock or other projectile, i had been driving the car for 3 hours at that point. crack is approximately 10 inches long, from passenger side lower edge toward center of windshield.

I purchased this vehicle brand new and has the panoramic screen. it blacks out and when that happens i am not able to use any of my safety features. i have taken it back to kia service 3 times and it still happens. i don't know what to do. i have heard some other owners have the same problems. i have a video. it started the first week i bought it on 7/24/2023.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated that while driving at 5 mph, the contact enabled the snow traction feature. the contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle lost motive power. the contact stated that the failure had occurred twice. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 4,201.

Vehicle has 6k miles. upon starting for the evening commute, dashboard is blank screen - will not give speedometer, odometer readings or fuel levels. other lights on gearshifter not working. gps not reading correctly. blind spot detection not functioning. can get the screen to display the brightness indicator, but that refuses to leave the display, even when car turned off - assumedly a drain on the battery. this left us unable to identify our speed or how much fuel we had. the dealership indicated that this problem was seen in 2022 tellurides and was typically fixed by a reset + system update. the dealership did fix the problem, but not sure of what the root cause is.

Incident 1: seatbelt was fastened as i returned from picking a child up from school. as we turned into our driveway my seatbelt unlatched unexpectedly. in addition, none of the warnings sounded that typically notify you when someone has taken off their seatbelt prematurely. incident 2: i was pulling onto a main road from a side road when my seatbelt unlatched. none of the safety warning sounds came on. in both situations there was nothing near my seatbelt that could have accidentally depressed the button (and if there had been there should have been a seatbelt warning). both incidents occurred close to or as i was making a right turn at slow speed.

Windshield cracked 12 days after purchase

Vehicle has 650 miles now. it was leased from kia. i noticed the brakes fading when at a long stop light or stop sign. vehicle would start to roll/creep forward and brake pedal would drop slightly. the longer the stop light the more this would happen. when this happened as i was parking i left the vehicle and called the kia help number and had the vehicle transported to kia dealership. this was 10jan2024. the dealership notified me that the could find no problem. i picked the vehicle up and drove home. the same problem occurred and i had the vehicle transported to the dealership. they replaced the brake master cylinder and abs module. they notified me it was repaired. when i check the brakes the pedal still slowly went down. i refused to take the vehicle and left it at the dealership. the vehicle had been at the dealership for over 30 days before they notified me it was repaired.

After owning this brand new car for less than 2 months, i've had 2 rocks hit my windshield and resulting in cracks. those rocks were not big and i wouldn't have expected those to result in actual windshield cracks. after looking this up, it seems that this is a common issues with kia telluride and that the quality of the windshields is not great.

When in snow mode the vehicle basically shuts all power down when going up an incline from a complete stop. you can’t accelerate at all the gas pedal just goes flat and feels like you’ve lost control of the vehicle completely. this is the third time this has happened. this time the vehicle behind me was inches away from slamming into the back of me. this is a huge safety issue.

A rock hit the windshield for 1000 miles and completely shattered the front windshield. the rock was the size of a small pebble.

My windshield just split across the driver side in my brand new 2024. i just made the first payment last week. my 2021 did the same thing and had 11 different places it cracked. it's as if anything touches them they split!

The contact's father owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated that after parking the vehicle while away from home, the entire instrument panel had gone blank upon the start of the engine without warning. due to the failure, the contact could not view the gear position, speedometer, odometer, and several other safety-related features. the dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 1,600.

I went into the dealership to have the air condition system looked at because on 2/27/2024, the weather was warm enough to have the ac on while driving home. the ac was not working as far as cooling, it was just blowing hot air. no indication of any issue with the coolant system at all. i call and make an appointment to the dealership to have this looked at on 3/02/2024 and they said that the condenser was damaged. they said that they thought it might be from debris from the road, i said at that point i believe it to be a defect on design. they gave a song and dance in regards to my logic but then did say that kia is aware of the issue but it doesn't happen to much. i have also checked to see if this was and is a design problem, seeing that this particular issue has been going on for several years it should be corrected. this item and the rest of the front of the vehicle go through a lot of stuff over it's time on the road or off-road. which brings up the other issue that this is an off-road suv made to not be on regular road conditions whatever they are. this suv has never been off-road and i have not done anything to the vehicle to cause this issue. it is a design defect and needs to be corrected.

There is a design defect in my 2024 kia telluride. there is no protection for the condenser/radiator. my air conditioner did not work. brought it to dealer, dealer said a foreign object penetrated the condenser. i asked how it happened, dealer said there is no protection for the radiator or condenser so this problem may happen again and again. kia does not offer a screen to be installed in front of condenser/radiator. my bill to repair was $2,400. plus car rental of $100.. i have asthma and it was almost impossible for me to drive the 200 miles to get the car to service. i contacted kia claim # 16235056 and was told they will not help.

On multiple occasions, the automatic braking has engaged while reversing even though there has been no risk of collision. it has happened with no cars, pedestrians, or other obstacles in sight. the brakes engage suddenly and with no warning causing the car to come to a violent stop. in one case it happened while reversing off a main road into our driveway. the sudden and unnecessary stop meant that the front of car was jutting into the main road with oncoming traffic. in other cases, it has just caused immediate unnecessary concern that we have hit something. it is possible to disable this functionality but the setting cannot be saved - so it needs to be disabled every time you turn on the car. we have engaged with the dealer and with kia directly and neither have offered any solution to the problem. the suggestion seems to be that this is normal behavior for the car. from my perspective this is a defective system and is dangerous. at a minimum, it should be possible to disable it completely.

The forward collision warning has been turning on and off for no reason. river oak kia has checked the system once. my windshield has cracked twice. i am having a third windshield installed when i obtain the funds. i purchased the car on 12/30/2023. the windshield has cracked two time and i am about to install third windshield. i am having the same problem with my 2021 palisade.

Digital dash that displays speed, rom etc is blank

My dashboard keeps producing these errors 1. check lane change assist 2. check blind sport safety system 3. check forward safety system 4. check parking collision avoidance assist system 5. check lane safety system also, my engine light is on and it’s not shifting right and i can’t drive it now. there's also a burning rubber smell. the driving speed isn't working correctly and will say i'm going 0mph when i'm going 25. when driving, it sometimes jolts.

Second day we owned this brand new vehicle we had a small rock hit the windshield at highway speed. the impact created an immediate chip and small star in the glass. within 2 hours it had cracked over 6 inches. i have never had a windshield crack so fast and large after a rock impact. the size of the chip would not lead you to believe the windshield would crack. i have read multiple complaints of this exact same issue.

The instrument panel in front of the driver is black. i’m unable to see the speed limit, warnings, safety or collision warnings, etc. the vehicle is not making any noise or beeping to allude to the fact that there might be an issue but the kia app is stating that there is an issue. i have used the vehicle yesterday 3/23/24 with no issues and when i went to drive this morning (3/24/24) it’s not working.

The display in front of the steering wheel when out yesterday. it is completely black. we have only had the vehicle for three months. there is no way to know what speed you are driving, how much fuel you have, see any warnings or anything! the kia dealer said they can check out the problem next wednesday, april 3, which is one week from when the problem occurred. this is a major hazard to not know your speed or be able to receive any warnings.

I have a few issues: 1. i can be driving on an empty road and i get alerted that i am about to hit someone and it brakes on its own. with no one in sight in either direction. 2. my alarm keeps going off when i leave the vehicle due to motion being detected but no one is in the vehicle and it is locked. 3. my lane assistance has tried running me off the road multiple times. 4. when i park my car continues to rolls

There was a small impact on windshield and huge crack appeared on it

Windshield cracking with minor damage. vehicle has 7,500 miles

When i was sitting in my vehicle with the car running, the entire electronic dashboard (panoramic and front view dash) went completely dark. the car was still running but the vehicle did not have any information on display.

I purchased my 2024 kia lx awd telluride on 2/29/24, it had approximately 2,100 miles when my cluster screen went black. this occurred on 5/25/24 without warning. i went to turn my truck on and was unable to read the speedometer, rpm, gas gauge, mileage, and engine temperature. the blindspots warning, or other safety warnings were not working properly. when using the navigation system it wouldn't work properly. it seemed as though it was confused on the direction i was going. i called the dealership where i purchased the vehicle and they were able to get me in for a service repair in 1.5 weeks. dropped my vehicle off and came back for it a couple hours later. they mentioned the electrical was fine, and could have been that it was loose, and a bump in the road could have caused it. although, the screen didn't go out while i was driving. they also fixed other items that it has recalls for, such as, radiator cover, and abs. i was not charged for any of these repairs/services. the dealership was very friendly and responsive.

The front passenger power seat folded in on my son while i was driving yesterday without warning. the back rest moved forward causing my son to have to bend over to move with it. at first, the seat would not move but he was able to after a few minutes. i immediately pulled over to ensure there was nothing in the way to cause this to happen, but i did not see anything there. i'm not sure if this is related to the recent recall, but it is a safety risk not only to my passenger but also to me as the driver. i have not had it inspected, and i am available to have it inspected upon request. i called the dealership that i purchased my vehicle from, and they stated that they have no knowledge of this incident happening with any other vehicle.

The hold display went black , stop vehicle turn off car and restart everything came back up . had to go back into the control settings to turn on radio& lost all stations that was saved also lost all my saved place on navigation system . a few days late try to start the car it wouldn’t start by pushing the start button, it said i had to use my key bob to push the start button to start it . then it started

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated while driving at approximately 25 mph with the snow mode activated, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. the contact stated that the accelerator pedal failure only occurred while driving with the snow mode feature activated. no warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was test-driven with the service manager and the failure was replicated. the contact stated that the vehicle remained with the local dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 450.

While driving the digital instrument panel has gone completely black and nothing is showing. in turn making it dangerous as i have no idea how fast i am going, how much gas in the car, etc. the radio side is fine but its just where your old school odometers etc use to be ,back when the world wasn't all digital. i have called and they acted like its the first time they have heard about it , but it seems to be an issue when researching online. from 2022 all the way up to now. i am taking the car in today but wanted to report this as this issue is still an issue with the kia telluride.

Was driving on highway. did hear a pebble/rock impact the right side of my windshield. no visible signs of a chip or damage. finished trip. hours later, took a short trip, still no visible signs of damage. 2 hours later, returned to car to find a crack had appeared that went from bottom right corner of windshield to about 1/3 of the way across. don’t believe the impact should have been significant to crack the windshield

All 4 windows have an auto up/down feature on the driver door switches. intermittently the auto up/down feature does not work on 1 of the 4 windows randomly. if i roll all 4 windows down for example and then decide to roll all 4 up, sometimes 3 out of the 4 windows will roll up auto with 1 touch, and the random 1 window that decides to not roll up automatically will work by holding the button up manually and then resetting it by continuing to hold up while the window is all the up for 3-5 seconds. this fixes it temporarily until the next time. i can not recreate the problem, if i use the key fob and hold the unlock bottom to open all 4 windows, sometimes 3 out of the 4 windows will open and the last one has to be manually reset. the dealership looked at it and reset the window they mentioned, the problem still exists. could go without an issue for a few days or multiple times a day and it's any of the 4 windows at any time.

The windshield on my 2024 kia telluride developed a small crack while driving on an highway. there was no construction vehicles in front of us or any construction happening on the road and were driving with significant distance from the vehicle in front. the windshield cracked by itself and upon inspecting the crack it’s clear that the crack was more within the glass instead of an external element. this could be potentially related to the known issue with kia’s defective windshields for model years till 2023. i believe 2024 model year also exhibits the same issue. i request kia to look into 2024 model years and initiate a recall to replace the defective windshields.

Trim is coming off below windows. can be a hazard if it comes off in traffic and flys into another vehicle.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated that while reversing the back over prevention camera failed to display an image, creating a visibility hazard for the driver. the contact stated that the failure was intermittent. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 22,000. the vin was not available.

The dash above the steering wheel is not lighting up to show me the speed, gas, rpm. or any other lights. my safety and others is at risk because i am not able to know my speed or any malfunctions that would other wise be displayed on the dash. this just happened and i cannot reach the dealership until tomorrow. this has not been inspected by anyone as of now. no other warning lights or symptoms prior to this.

I bought a kia telluride on [xxx]. i drove it to michigan on [xxx]. during the trip, a highway pebble kicked up from the tire of a truck in front of me and hit the windshield. the chip from the rock cracked the windshield from the passenger side to the driver side of the vehicle in a matter of minutes. i researched this kia telluride windshield incident via the internet, and there is evidence that it is due to manufacturer negligence. the windshield is defective, and a class action lawsuit has been filed. in 2020, kia even sent letters to owners offering to correct the problem. the windshield failed and it is available for inspection. the crack in the windshield is a visual impairment for the driver. the problem hasn't been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or mechanic. the vehicle component hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer or others. there were no warning lights or messages. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The car has a surround view monitor that turns off at 7 miles instread of the 9 miles advertised. the monitor is designed to help with parking and show a 3d view. helps with parking assistance.

I took delivery of my new telluride on 9/27/2023. on 11/22/2023 i started getting a warning message on my dashboard that my battery was discharging due to external electrical devices. there was nothing on in the vehicle, nor was there anything plugged into the vehicle. this message would come up after the vehicle had been sitting for a number of hours.this message came on on 4 or 5 different occasions. then on 11/29/2023 my entire dashboard went blank. nothing would show on it, not even the speedometer. the car was running, and everything else was working fine. i called the dealership where i bought the vehicle and i was able to get it in that day. i picked up the vehicle the next day. it was some sort of computer problem and they were able to fix it quickly. what makes me most irritated is it happened when my vehicle was less than 2 months old. and my son and daughter-in-law also bought a telluride at the same time as i did, and they just had to bring it in to the dealership for the exact same issue. two out of two vehicles with that same issue is scary, and very frustrating that we spend that much money on a vehicle and it has these types of computer problems before they are even a year old. including the safety recall that has been issued for the vehicle, another computer problem.

Upon starting car, display control cluster was black. no visibility of speedometer, turn signals, or any other vehicle control are visible. restarting vehicle did not correct issue.

The electronic instrument panel stopped working suddenly. i am unable to see important gauges including speed, gas in the tank, etc...

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 24v407000 (seats); however, the contact was informed by two local dealers that the vehicle could not be taken in for the recall until late fall. the contact stated that the dealer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Dashboard not illuminating when car is turned on. i am able to drive the car without knowing what speed the car is going or how much fuel is remaining. i drove the car two hours turned it off prior to this issue. no warning lights were shown in the previous drive.

I was driving my 2024 kia telluride when the sunroof just exploded outward. it was very load and luckily i had the sunroof cover closed so no glass came inside the car. talked with wilde kia in waukesha and they said this was not covered under the warrantee and there where no recalls or safety bulletins regarding this issue. i looked online and there were numerous people that had experienced the same problem.

Dealership (kings kia in mason, ohio) failed to respond to nhtsa recall. (sc316). despite recommendation to “park outside due to risk of vehicle catching on fire” refused to fix recall in timely manner (refused to fix in next 3+ months). unacceptable.

My entire instrument cluster/dashboard display is blank. i cannot see my speed, how fast i am going, collision warnings, if my lights are on, etc. i have called the dealership, and they indicated there is no active recall. they said they cannot diagnose and fix the issue for a month. this is a major safety issue, since i have no indication of my speed or gas or anything else. it is all controlled by the dash that is blank.

Instrument cluster went black. no sensors when changing lanes can't tell mph, fuel levels. car said i was driving the wrong direction.

Kia has failed to remedy this in a timely manner. from the day i called to schedule when i received recall, appt was 3 weeks out. kia then cancelled the appt and when i asked why they said they needed vin to order part which i provided and they rescheduled the appt. i showed up for appt and they said they needed to look at car for which part (which they were to order a week prior when i provided vin and recall info). stated it would be a week and they’d have the part and it fixed. now are saying they have no clue when they can get us in and are not telling us if they have the part or not. this is our only vehicle and cannot drive it as it states it can catch on fire parked or while driving. i have two small children, one with medical needs. we need our vehicle and when i explained this to kia diehl in hermitage the manager laughed in my face. every time i call it’s a different story. kia is refusing to fix in a timely manner or provided rentals. i am making my car payment on a brand new 2024 vehicle that i cannot drive without reimbursement or able to receive service for a vehicle that can catch on fire. we have contacted the kia diehl parts 3x with no returned call on an update on when the part will be in. we were told today even if they had the part they have no upcoming appts open to fix it.

Our telluride was less than a week after purchase and driving down the street when my wife heard a crack and a small crack appeared in lower driver side of the windshield. before reaching home within the hour, the crack has spread across half the windshield. i dont believe there was a point of impact to cause the crack. it just happened spontaneously.

The vehicle will randomly hit the brakes hard and the collision warning system goes off. this happens when there is no obstacle or vehicle near the vehicle. it happens on 6 lane highways and the interstate. it almost caused numerous accidents before paramount kia's solution was to disable the navigation assisted automatic braking system.

Inferior windshield and door safety glass. had to replace drivers side window twice and now our front windshield has a chip not caused by any object and is starting to spider crack and will need replacement for what will be the 3rd glass replacement needed in less than a year. 1st incident drivers door $503.00 09/25/2023. 2nd driver window replaced 05/06/2024 warranty covered. 3rd incident windshield chip and cracked. dealer appointment not until 09/16/2024

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated that the vehicle had seized in 5th gear and failed to accelerate as intended. the contact stated that on several occasions while stopping at stop lights or stop signs, the vehicle failed to operate as intended. the contact stated that on another occasion, the check engine warning light illuminated and then disappeared. the vehicle was steered to the side of the roadway and restarted intermittently. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was not able to be replicated. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

When i parked my vehicle i had a little less than half a tank of gas. i started my vehicle again 2 hours later and a low fuel warning appeared. i immediately looked at the instrument panel confused and the fuel gauge had no illumination as if the tank was completely empty and miles to empty showed 121. i turned off the vehicle, waited a minute and turned it back on. again, the low fuel warning appeared, no illumination on the fuel gauge and this time the miles to empty was a dash line. i parked the vehicle nervous to drive it anywhere in this condition. i checked it again in a couple of hours with the same result. i put 1 liter of gas in the tank and the errors disappeared and the fuel gauge now shows half tank and 140 miles to empty. there is definitely something wrong somewhere.

I was backing out of a parking space and the automatic emergency brake kicked in. it scared the daylights out of me. i was actively using my mirrors and there was nothing behind me and nothing else moving for that to have happened.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated while the vehicle was at the local dealer for routine maintenance, the mechanic discovered a crack in the oil pan. the cause of the failure was not yet determined. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 5,066.

Turned car on to go to work and cluster infotainment screen with speedometer and gas gage was blank.

On multiple occasions, the forward automatic breaking system has forced the breaks to turn on when there was no potential collision, causing the car to auto break/slow down in the flow of traffic and nearly get rear ended. the collision warning system triggers and the breaks quickly come on, out of my/the driver’s control. it has happened multiple times with family members in the car including young kids/infants/while i was pregnant and getting rear ended would be very dangerous. i’ve taken the vehicle to the dealership twice and have been told they are unable to replicate the issue and therefore unable to help.

Subject: urgent safety concern regarding 2024 kia telluride – defective trim/molding adhesive dear national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa), i am writing to report a significant safety concern regarding my 2024 kia telluride. specifically, the horizontal trim/molding located under the windows has defective adhesive, causing these pieces to detach from the vehicle. i am deeply concerned that if these pieces fall off while i am driving, especially on the highway, they could potentially strike another vehicle, leading to an accident. i have brought this issue to the attention of kia, and they are aware of the problem. in fact, the necessary parts are currently on back order, which indicates that kia recognizes the widespread nature of the defect. however, despite this acknowledgment, no interim solution has been provided. at this point, i have had to resort to using tape, at my own expense, to temporarily secure the trim pieces and prevent them from falling off. this situation is not only an inconvenience but also poses a serious safety risk to myself and others on the road. my question is: who would bear the liability if a piece were to detach and cause damage or injury to another driver? i believe that kia, knowing about this defect, should be taking proactive measures to prevent such incidents from occurring. i urge the nhtsa to investigate this issue, as it needs to be escalated due to the potential danger it presents to public safety. thank you for your attention to this matter. i look forward to your prompt response.

Sunroof shattered while driving. nothing struck the glass, we were not around any other vehicles, etc. it just exploded. the slide was closed, so no glass fell in vehicle.

Windshield cracked.

I was driving on the highway, heard a pop noise, assume a rock hit windshield but did not see anything, i got off on my exit, went into a store and came back out a few mins later and saw windshield had a long crack from the top down approx 14 inches.

Gauge cluster is completely black. i am unable to tell the speed i am going, see how much gas i have or use features like the blind spot detection.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver's side rear window independently fractured. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic; however, the cause for the failure was not yet determined. the window was replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the dealer was made aware of the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 8,400.

I was driving at on the highway at 65 mph in 60-65 degree temperatures on an open highway with minimal traffic on clean roads with no road debris. a loud explosion followed by observing through the rearview mirror shattered sunroof glass shower over the back of the car. there was no damage to the shade cover nor remainder of the roof to suggest something struck the top of the car.

The vehicle fails to accelerate from a stop in snow mode. engine does not respond to acceleration pedal. my wife was stuck halfway in a intersection of a state highway. she had to shut off engine and restart the vehicle to get the car to function. no warning lights appeared. this has happened twice in the last week and after some research on the internet, it seems like this is not an isolated incident. others have reported this same problem. here is one particular case id i saw was #11560843 with the same problem.

I have trim pieces around side windows falling off my new vehicle or in process of falling off my vehicle. this seems to be possible safety hazard to other vehicles on the road.

Intermittently, the forward collision system engages (including self-braking) inappropriately when car is moving and there are no objects that should engage system. happens at lower cruise control speeds most often. i started noticing after an update was installed to my vehicle in late aug 2024. i went to jeff wyler fairfield kia, 5815 dixie highway, fairfield, oh 45014. they refused to fix issue for unknown reasons. obviously, a car braking suddenly without warning when moving is a serious issue that can result in serious injury, death.

Brand new kia, and window door trim adhesive fails within four months and trim is falling off while driving. all four trim has fallen off. kia is aware of the issue and parts have not been available to fix. dealers do not have parts and kia usa says its unavailable. just one of many example of others with the same issue: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

The brakes on this car had a failure. as the car was approaching a stop, the pedal went to the floor without any notable slowing of the vehicle. fortunately, there was not a car immediately in front my telluride or approaching from the side, so there was no impact. the car was then towed to the robert brogden olathe, kia and inspected. they reported that the abs light was on and that their was air in the brake line. using a manual bleeding procedure, the air was removed, but they have not found how their air got into the line during the last mile. obviously, root cause for the air getting into the sealed system must be identified for this car to be considered safe to drive. we took delivery of this vehicle on [xxx] with fewer than 50 miles on the odometer and it was inspected and tested for 100% of all systems fully operational. during the first 700+ miles, the brakes worked perfectly. kia service ticket it [xxx]. kia customer service case number [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

I parked in a covered parking garage for about two hours. when i came out there was a crack about a foot long on my passenger side windshield. the crack quickly spread over the next couple of hours while driving almost double the size. there was not a rock that hit my car and it looks like tiny hold in my windshield very strange looking and then spread quickly. i believe my windshield is defective.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, he observed a metal trim on the driver's window detached partially. the contact inspected the vehicle and observed a big jagged metal sticking out from the bottom of the driver's window. the vehicle was taken to a dealer twice where the dealer taped the trim, but the failure re-occurred within hours each time. on one occasion while parked, a friend's child ran near the vehicle, was caught by the protruding metal trim, and seriously scratched. medical attention was not needed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

Sunroof spontaneously exploded while driving.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated that while driving with the vehicle in snow mode and depressing the accelerator pedal while making a left turn, the vehicle stopped. the contact stated that after taking the vehicle out of snow mode, the vehicle worked as designed. there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the local dealer. the failure mileage was approximately 3,898.

When driving with my speed control set at 35 to 45 mph, i will sporadically and without warning get a forward collision warning, and the car brakes. when this occurs, there is absolutely nothing around that should cause this warning.the warning occurs for no reason at all. i took the car to my kia dealership and also provided them with videos taken at two different times. they kept my car for seven weeks and just returned it to me having done nothing to fix the problem. the reason stated was that the kia engineers felt that they needed to have the dealer reproduce the problem. because it is sporadic one, the dealer was not able to reproduce the problem. however, the dealer did acknowledge that i had a problem, but said there was nothing more they could do. the danger is that if someone is following you closely behind and all of a sudden you get this forward collision warning that breaks the car, the car behind has to break suddenly in order to avoid a rear end collision. i have researched online and find that there are other owners of this same car that have had the same problem. i found only one instance where kia accepted the videos as evidence of the problem, and apparently gave the dealer instructions that when accomplished, seem to have fixed the problem. i have tried to include several videos of these incidents but can’t figure out how to send them to you.

The dashboard will turn black while driving. it will reset after disconnecting the battery, but it will do the same thing a few days later. also, with cruise control, the car will suddenly slow down on the highway when no vehicles are in front of the car.

The contact owns a 2024 kia telluride. the contact stated that all four windows' exterior b-pillar trims had detached. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the b-pillars needed to be replaced; however, the parts were on backorder. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed being aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

Fixed rear skylight exploded

Found crack in windshield while parked in garage, approximately 8 inches long on passenger side about 6" up from bottom of glass starting at the a pillar. crack doubled in size by following day. there was no impact, it just cracked in a single line horizontal to the middle of the glass.

When active cruise control is active the forward collection activates when their are shades and sun breaks in the road. also when cruise control is activated, the forward colition should slow down and or stop the vehicle whne it approuches a vehicle in front of it. often when approuching a stoped car etc infront or foward of the telluride it does not break or slow down, it acts as if their are no obsticials in front of it. i have brought the vehicle to dealer when it had less than 3000 miles for this issue and will be bringing it back again on 1/28/2025 for this reacuring issue. just today 1/17/25 it happened 7 times within a 5 mile travel.

The trim is coming off on my vehicle and before it comes off while driving and impacting another vehicle like someone else has reported on a community board i took it in to be replaced. i drive a lot but i'm lucky i'm still under 36k but this will only address the 2 pieces that are currently coming off. my concern is after 36k the rest will fall off and while driving so not only will it not be covered but it could impact other drivers if it flies off while driving.

A rock (a small one) was kicked up on my window by a passenger truck that was traveling in front of me that was going on to the shoulder of the road to make a turn into a parking lot. i went into the store and came back outside to see that a crack formed in my window. i continued on my way to work, worked my 12 hour shift and then came outside to a bigger crack in my window. while i was driving home from work the following morning the crack actively spread further in a u shape while i was driving down the highway. in no way should a small rock hit my windshield and in less than 15 minutes a crack appears that only gets bigger and eventually spreads across the entire windshield in less than 24 hours. i've never in my life seen something like this. i've driven cars for years with a chip in the windshield that never progressed or if it did progress it was a minimal crack, nothing at all like this. this is insanity. it makes me question the safety of the windshield in general. is the glass going to break while i'm driving down the highway?

The window trim on all four of my windows has come or is coming apart. there is a hazard to having these items fly off my car. i went into kia reported the issue and they stated the parts are in back order. the existing trim has been taped down as this can impact other vehicles on the road. i am supposed to get a call with the parts like many others on this forum and have heard nothing back. fyi it’s not just the plastic of the trim that has come loose but the whole trim panel under the windows.

When you are stuck in the snow and start to spin, the awd kicks out and you cannot move. very big issue for anyone that lives in an area that snow accumulates.

As i was driving to work my sunroof exploded. i was miles away from an overpass and nothing flew out of any vehicle around me. it just randomly exploded. i could hear glass shuffling around on my sunshade. thankfully the sunshade wasn't open or else i would have been covered in glass. took it to a dealership and they told me it wasn't covered under any warranty and to tell my insurance it was "due to weather and wind causing the sunroof to bend and flex".

Heads up display

Window trim flew off on expressway. this is a known issue with kia.

2 electrical related issues: 1. the car's on/off button will not engage with key fob inside the vehicle. can only start the car with remote start (this first occurred on 2/3/25; peak kia service was called on 2/4/2025 and service scheduled for 2/12/2025) 2. car battery died unexpectedly and within 3 months of ownership (2/11/2025) - put my own safety at risk as i was in a dark parking lot and my car, while it would unlock, would not turn on - car battery dying unexpectedly puts my and my children's safety at risk particularly when confronted with cold temperatures and the inability to use the vehicle unexpectedly aaa was called on 2/11/25 and they found the battery had an unusual drain registering 340/800. the car was jumped and left running for 30 minutes. peak kia was made aware of the issue with the non-start issue on 2/4/2025, they gave me verbal confirmation they have had no known issues with this, specific to the kia telluride. no warning signs prior to either issue.

I have owned the vehicle for less than a month, 750 miles to date and the windshield is cracked down the center possing a safety risk while driving.

Transmission constantly slipping after driving and transmission gets warmed up. vehicle continues to rev up and enter high rpms before changing gears and then jolts the vehicle as changing gears. also steadily leaking coolant fluids, have taken vehicle to the dealership as of now three times to have the coolant issue serviced. repairs are still not complete to date.

The manufactured seat belt and alarm system failed. my seat belt alarm for the 3rd row rear seat fires intermittently while driving when the seat is empty (no one or no items are in the seat) since i purchased the vehicle. i had this issue evaluated at a kia dealership, but they ran diagnostics and "no codes" came up so they did not fix anything. the issue persists. recently, i had my rear passenger side window broken by a thief and they entered my vehicle when it was locked. the manufacturers alarm did not fire at all.

Software malfunction left the primary dashboard and all associated systems inoperable and in an unresposive state.

My suv was sitting in the driveway and a crack appeared out of nowhere.

The trim on my passenger door is coming off! the adhesive is obviously defective. the piece flops when driving and is a risk to others as it may pop off. i’ve read that thousands of 2024 telluride models have this problem! it is dangerous problem that kia needs to fix!

Instrument cluster above the steering wheel is black and will not work. no way to know speed as well as other important things.
