1 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem of the 2022 Kia Motor Telluride

Failure Date: 06/12/2024

I took the car to the selling dealer for an oil change and two recalls. When I picked the car up I was told requested work was performed. I was also told they updated the radio. I did not request this and it was not mentioned prior to receiving the car. The safety issue; practically all systems connected to "kia connect" have changed. This is a major safety issue and distraction. 1. The screen intermittently does not turn on or is slow to respond when the car is started. 2. The touch screen sensitivity has changed. Doesn't always respond to commands requiring several attempts . 3. The entire on-screen radio format layout has changed from horizontal to vertical. 3. The gps has added unnecessary commands 4. The voice activated phone commands have changed with additional unnecessary commands required to complete a call. The phone bluetooth system, unknown to me, now switches to my wife's phone when I get out of the car and return, preventing me from making or receiving hands free calls while driving the car, defeating the whole purpose of a hands free system. Having sold car phones in the eighties, and being one of the first to have hands free in my car, I feel I know the systems better than most. Entire bluetooth voice command and on screen displays have changed. On a recent trip on [xxx] in chester, PA there was debris blocking one lane of the three lane road. I attempted to notify PA state police, when I said "call police" it displayed a number of 911 related phone numbers associated with 911 on the right portion of the screen from which I was required to respond to. Prior to this update the system would simply call "911" as programmed by me. Another distraction when attempting to making an emergency call. The car is over two years old with 51,000 miles. Obviously I have become familiar with all the systems in this time. I called "kia connect" which representative basically told me that was the change and to live with it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5.

2 Navigational (global Positioning System) Gps problem of the 2024 Kia Motor Telluride

Failure Date: 02/06/2024

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.
