Tonight I tried to open my sunroof for some fresh air while relaxing in my vehicle. My sunroof made some weird cracking noises and is jammed open. I only used my sunroof 2 to 3 times. However, it's in the stuck position and sounds like crushing glass when I try to open it. My rear right passenger folds down on its own. My grandson has been folded into the seat multiple times. I contact kia and got no resolution. This is dangerous. I went to retrieve my backpack from my backseat yesterday and when I set the sear back it made a auto sound, it slid completely forward hitting me in my face. The seat ejects by itself often and it a safety risk to my family and I. I checked kia forums only to find this is an huge issue and spoked about hundreds of times involving Telluride and sorento models. I'm afraid my sunroof glass with break.

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.

I have 2 problems. The first is that my rear seats lift and move. This has been a problem since I purchased the vehicle. However I'm just reporting the issue because my grandson was injured while in his booster seat. The seat had automatically deployed and moved forward by itself 2x causing my grandson to be smashed into the passenger seat and restrained tightly by the seat belt. The back of the sear folds forward and the entire seat moves forward. Both rear seats does this. I have had incidents where my grocery would fly forward while driving because the seat had deployed. My 2nd issue is that the sensor on the steering wheel has always have issues with detecting hands on the steering wheel. I get warnings while driving to place my hands on the steering wheel. Both hands are on the wheel. However is the only certain places on the steering wheel that detects your hands?.

The heater in the driver side seat, burnt through the seat through a jacket t-shirt, and burnt the back of my son.

VIN: [xxx] owner: [xxx] purchase date: December 2022 I am filing an urgent safety complaint regarding my 2023 kia Telluride. For nearly two years, I have unknowingly driven this vehicle with multiple active safety recalls, including: •airbag wiring harness defect (airbags may not deploy) •seatbelt pretensioner/tensioner defects •front power seat motor overheating (fire hazard) •driveshaft engagement defect (vehicle may roll out of park) kia never properly notified me of these recalls and never repaired them, despite my family using the vehicle daily. I drove this SUV with my autistic child and infant grandchild, believing it was safe. I have now discovered that kia allowed me to operate a vehicle that could: •fail to protect us in a crash •catch fire •roll away unexpectedly •malfunction in ways that could cause severe injury or death this is a serious safety negligence issue. Kia did not offer a loaner vehicle, did not notify me promptly, and has not provided any remedy despite these recalls being federally regulated. I am requesting NHTSA intervention 1. Investigate kia’s failure to properly notify and protect consumers. 2. Require kia to provide a full replacement vehicle (2025/2026 kia Telluride) or a full buyback due to prolonged safety risk. 3. Ensure kia corrects VIN-level recall handling and compliance failures. 4. Document that kia exposed vulnerable passengers (disabled child and infant grandchild) to unsafe conditions for almost two years. My family has been placed in danger this entire time, and kia has not provided a timely or adequate remedy. Please investigate this matter urgently. — [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My car has heated/air conditioned seats. They have started coming on by themselves. My passenger side mirror opens and closes when it wants to. The the auto off works when it wants to. I have the option of turning that feature off but it will turn off anyways. I can also hear my air condition loud and clear when I turn my car off (decompressing I am guessing) it just started when all these other problems started.

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.

I have had been in several times to correct the recall, they noted the seat repaired under warrenty but the service advisor was stuck when retrieving my car. Headlights have need in twice and I’m being told the fix failed to correct the headlights. Wipers stop working intermittently and paint is down to bare metal along windshield and hood. This car is crap. . Rear seat folds up when sitting on it and I am repiadmy told they don’t see a problem. Seats are not electric in the rear. This has a feature of an auto close from the back for loading. And it is triggered when my kids sit in it. Only the right rear captains chair.
