general problems of the 2022 Kia Motor Telluride - part 2

I have been having issues with the instrument display panel freezing. This has occurred about seven times this year. I have five of the times documented. Here are videos from the five most recent occurrences; March 18th, June 19th, July 18th, August 9th, and August 22nd.  https://drive. Google. Com/drive/folders/11_if2oi5rqxpzh5k93916ibpnieg59gv?usp=drive_link the July 18th occurrence was particularly concerning because I was low on fuel and had no distance estimate. When the panel freezes I am unable to see import information including the backup camera, turn signal camera, and cruise control information. Turning the car off and on does not resolve the issue.

Was on highway driving and all of a sudden my sun roof exploded. I did have my visor closed, so that protected me from glass coming into vehicle. Stopped at nearest dealership (out of town) and had to be covered with a covering to prevent rain coming inside. Nothing was on road or anything that hit the sunroof. This was relayed and also seen when I took to dealership about 30 minutes after incident. When I returned back to my city 2 days later, I took to dealership in my area. I also notified kia corp. As well. My insurance covered repairs but kia dealerhip said they wouldn't because they felt as if it wasn't due to a malfunction of the product. Which I totally disagreed with since I was in vehicle and knew exactly what occured. I did file a claim and report with kia corp. But they said dealership said they couldn't say it was the product that was faulty. They kept my vehicle for close to a month before it was repaired. Time ran out for my rental because dealership said they had part but no one to repair it and thus we had to oay out of pocket for car rental for a few more days. My vehicle was purchased brand new and had no wrecks or any damage until this issue. And when we took to dealership some of employees said they had had others come in with same issue.

The windshield has cracked in our vehicle. I cannot see any impact that would have caused a crack to form. It appears to be potential defect if the glass or type of glass used.

Driving on the freeway and my sunroof window exploded. It was mid thirty degrees, so the sunroof window was not in use. There was no traffic on the freeway or overpasses, no cars directly in front. We were startled and looked around and heard the noise of broken glass above us. I am planning on taking it into the dealer on Monday. No warning lights or sounds were seen or heard.

After a short trip to the neighborhood with my toddler son in his car seat, I parked my 2022 kia Telluride and turned off the engine, got out of the car and took my son out of his car seat. While I was trying to collect my items to get to our home, (my toddler standing waiting for me next to the driver door of the car) the car started to move backwards making a very loud noise. I was stuck in between the driver door but luckily I run with car till it came to a full stop after hitting my neighbor’s mail box. The car is only 6 mths old with about 6500 miles. The car was towed the dealerships (capital kia) where we bought the car from and is being examined for default.

These windshields are paper-thin. Numerous cracks.

Dashboard center lcd screen blacked out right after starting the vehicle. Tried restating the engine but the lcd screen remained blank. I drove 10 miles and after a second restart, the screen came back. The lcd displays important information like the speed and fuel consuption, but I like to use it to display the speed I am driving at as it is more readable than the speedometer. I have scheduled an appointment to have it checked by the dealership.

Rear passenger window spontaneously imploded while driving on a freeway. I took photos immediately upon arrival at home. No one was harmed, but had it been one of the front seat windows or someone seated in the back seat, they would have been harmed. Has not been inspected. Have appointment at the kia dealership. They have not seen it yet. They resisted repairing it until we told them of other reports of kia windows and sunroofs shattering without cause. I now have some fear of driving it and it occurring again. No warning or indication of the event.

While driving down the highway, the sunroof exploded. There were not cars in front of us or beside us at the time, and we have no indicators of any debris hitting the roof. The sunroof exploded upwards based on the curve of the remaining glass. We were going around 70mph on an 80 degree day. Most of the glass was caught but the visor but some did land on us. We have reached out to kia and they have stated they have never heard of this before despite many other owners on kia complaint forums experiencing the same thing. This occurred on 10/3/2022 at approximately 4pm. We were not seriously injured and maintained control of the vehicle at the time.

The contact owns a 2022 kia Telluride. The contact stated while driving an unknown speed the vehicle loss power, and smoke started coming from under the hood of the vehicle. The contact was able to pull over and shut down the vehicle and the smoke stop. The contact notice that the brake control that was added to the vehicle for the tow hitch had melted and burned. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnoses, and they stated that the tow hitch harness module printed circuit board caused an electrical short. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and they stated there was nothing they could do because the tow hitch and brake control installed in the vehicle was aftermarket part. The failure mileage was 7,968.

Okay so, I noticed my windshield was cracked on my way home from work. It had been parked in front of my work and I live in a small town. I immediately notified kia and asked for the pictures of my car before and after it left the service center because there are 3 visible chips on the lower passenger side of the windshield. Maybe not enough to notice had it not been for my windshield literally splitting. The kia dealership I bought my car from 2 months ago told me it looked like a rock chipped my windshield. I don’t believe this is what happened, I think they set something on my car and chipped the windshield. Regardless the windshield crack has spread half way across my windshield in 24 hours. For arguments sake, if a rock had hit my windshield it shouldn’t crack completely in half. That’s literally insane. I’m beyond upset that my brand new $52,000 car already has to have the windshield be replaced. My biggest concern with this purchase was safety and I was assured that it was one of, if not the safest car on the market. It doesn’t seem safe to me that a small chip the size of a ballpoint pin cracked my whole windshield in half.

I was driving and a small pebble hit my windshield from a truck traveling in the opposite direction. The crack spidered out slightly. After 1 hour it traveled halfway across the windshield in my line of vision. I believe this is a defect with the Tellurides thin windshield glass as a normal car windshield that was hit by a small pebble could have been repaired instead of having to be replaced due to traveling through the window.

1. Speedometer displayed 0 mph on the display screen and odometer. It took 2 days for it to start working again. 2. Backup camera displayed a green screen with a error message for 4 hours.

Display for the backup camera went blank. Has only happen once so far.

Driver assistance causing car to slow down or come to a complete stop on freeway when another car cut in front of me. Also, slowed down when car approaching me getting in turning lane. It is not operating correctly can lead to someone hitting you!.

I was driving on the interstate and my sunroof just exploded, nothing hit it.

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.

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

The windows are very loose, if they are down or cracked while driving 60mph+ they shake and rattle seeming like they are going to bust. I only have video proof. The dealership wasn’t able to test drive the vehicle at the speed the problem occurs.

Windshield has cracked and required replacement twice since I purchased the vehicle in Nov 2021.

Outside temperature: 72 degrees philadelphia, PA no other traffic around. The sunroof seems to have just exploded in the center and the environmental conditions were just fine. There was no road debris and or other traffic around to cause such. The damage fortunately did not injure anybody in the car.

Sunroof, available for inspection but scheduled for repair. Sunroof exploded spontaneously, no vehicle in front and no foreign object found that could have caused explosion damage. I calmly move vehicle off road into parking lot. Explosion was so loud that someone else could have reacted differently and caused an accident. I've read and heard of other incidents where people report the same situation. Insurance has been active in resolving this incident. I've also contacted the kia dealership and kia USA. No warning was given before this happened. I do not have at this time have an insurance claim number, response from manufacturer or repair invoice.

Windshield cracked fully 3 times in a year. Each time needed full replacement and there is no guarantee it will not happen again. I hate the car for this and am thinking about selling it off even though I love the drive of the vehicle.

Was traveling on the interstate when a small pebble hit my windshield creating half dollar size shatter. This car is only 4 months old and I was only traveling about 35 mph at the time and do not feel the impact should have been sufficient to create this type of shattering.

Cross bar key covers keep coming loose and flapping around while driving. They do not stay engaged. I note this was an issue in 2020 models. Please require another technical service bulletin requiring them to fix this. It is dangerous if it flies off while driving and hits other vehicles.

I was driving down hwy 25 no vehicles around us and when all of of a sudden our vehicles windshield literally just started cracking across the front, nothing hit our windshield, the incident happened on 04/11/2022.

Front windshield small crack completely spread across entire windshield.

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.

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.

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.

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.

While driving I noticed my windshield cracking from the lower drivers side. The crack has grown bigger. Nothing hit the windshield to cause it to start cracking.

Windshield keeps getting chips and cracks.

Windshield broke by itself.
