2022 Kia Telluride owner complaints

Description of the Problem: I noticed a crack suddenly appearing on my car’s windshield without any external impact, such as a rock or debris. The crack seems to have formed spontaneously, starting from the bottom edge and growing through the center of the glass, and there are no visible signs of external damage or impact points. This raises concerns about the quality or structural integrity of the windshield. It started early in the morning at about 6 inches but now has more than 12 inches and two ramifications. The car was parked in front of our garage and there were no extreme temperature changes. Concerns: I am worried that the windshield may have a manufacturing defect or material issue that could compromise the safety of the vehicle. This could pose a risk if the crack spreads or the

The contact owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rear windshield inadvertently shattered. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who was unable to diagnose the failure. The contact was informed that the manufacturer was aware of the issue. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not assist. The failure mileage was 37,000.

Windshield easily cracked with a small small kick up in snow. Several small chips in the windshield for low visibility in a car with less than 1500miles on it. Several groups of telluride owners report the same problem on 2020-2022 models

I had noticed a 1" wide crack had formed in the center of the windshield after first night of cold weather (~10°F). There was no prior damage to the windshield before the crack formed. I'm concerned that the crack will continue to spread as we progress into the winter in the upper Midwest, ultimately shattering while I'm driving.

I was traveling on a local road at approximately 35 mph, with only 1 other vehicle near me. I heard a crack, but did not see any rock hit the windshield. I immediately saw a spider crack form on the driver's side. The car is less than a month old and the windshield has no previous wear.

Windshield keeps getting chips and 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.

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.

Screens remain black on start up. Unable to read USB

On 12/09/22, the center lcd instrument cluster went blank 2 different times while my wife was driving. Vehicle has 2200 miles on it. Kia issued a recall in May 2022 for this exact issue but only covered roughly 2700 vehicles. This vehicle does not have an active recall and was produced after the issue was supposedly fixed at the kia factory. Obvious safety issue and clearly affects more than the 2700 vehicles already recalled.

My 2022 Kia Telluride is experiencing several serious safety-related defects. The backup camera does not work, the second-row bucket seats fold up on their own while driving, and the electronic parking brake becomes stuck on and will not disengage. The transmission hesitates and shifts harshly, creating a risk during acceleration and lane changes. The engine is consuming oil between changes. The heating and air conditioning stop working when the vehicle is idling at stoplights, and electrical components including the front phone charger and heated passenger seat have failed. The exterior window trim is deteriorating. These issues are ongoing and have not been resolved by Kia. Several of these failures match known defect and recall categories. These create a significant crash and safety ri

Plastic oil filter housing cracked after oil change around 100k miles.

This is a very well known issue among all model years of the Kia Telluride. The plastic filter housing is made out of plastic and over time it ends up failing causing an oil leak. I ended up having to pay out of pocket for a aftermarket housing that was metal and not plastic that won’t fail.

While driving our 2022 Kia Telluride under normal operating conditions, the panoramic sunroof glass suddenly and spontaneously shattered outward with a loud explosion-like noise. The sunroof was fully closed at the time of the explosion. There was no impact with any object, no debris strike, no road hazard, and no external cause observed. Weather conditions were clear, traffic was normal, and the vehicle was traveling at a normal speed. The failure occurred without warning. There were no prior cracks, chips, noises, warning lights, or messages before the incident. A large hole immediately formed in the sunroof glass, and glass fragments fell into the vehicle and were caught by the shade. The sudden shattering and loud noise scared the driver and passengers and created an immediate safety

My new AWD 2022 Kia Telluride vibration/ humming at 65 mph and above from day 1. It’s been in service 5 times and they are not able to fix the problem. The dealership we bought it from didn’t even admit there is a problem so we had to take it to another dealership which actually admitted there is a problem. They just changed the drive shaft and rear differential and the problem is still there . It’s been in service longer than it’s been with me. Very frustrating.

Since the purchase of my vehicle 7 30 2022 & after driving the first several times in the darkness/evening hours & since I have had safety concerns that the headlamps in my vehicle are insufficient/inadequate - not just the normal headlights illumination but also the high beams. When the high beams are activated the additional effect is negligible/deliver inferior performance. I have continued to reach out to Kia & thus far they have not been helpful. I believe driving at night time is putting me at a safety risk. The dealership did/does not have a way to test the headlamps in any sort of calibration or measuring means other than to turn on the headlights while in the service area and shine them on a wall. When driving during the night time hours I keep my speed on rural roads typicall
