| Date | Component | Summary | Severity | Mileage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 2020 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | THE VEHICAL WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES UP TO 6000 RPM WITH NO OR LITTLE ACCELERATION WHEN THE GAS PEDDLE IS DEPRESSED.. THIS ALSO OCCURS AT LOWER SPEEDS, NO OR LITTLE ACCELERATION WHILE THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES TO 5000 RPM VISIBLE ON THE TACHOMETER AND HEARD FROM THE ENGINE NOISE. THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO BE SLIPPING OR DOWN SHIFTING TO MANY GEARS FOR THE AMOUNT OF FUEL DEMAND. THE DEALERSHIP WITNESSED THIS PROBLEM DURING A TEST DRIVE AND I SHOWED THEM A VIDIO OF THE SPEEDOMETER VERSUS THE TACH READING WHILE THIS PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING. IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS AND KIA STILL HAS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCEDENT ON ONE OCCATION AND A NEAR MISS HEADON COLISSION WHILE DRIVING THRU OREGON AND TRYING TO PASS IN A PASSING LANE, ON A VACATION DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED SINCE DAY ONE OF THE VEHICAL PURCHAS AND HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE OF THE PROBLEM ON 3 OCCASIONS. KIA DEALER SAYS KIA HAS NO KNOWN FIX. | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,900 |
| Sep 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING, I HEARD A SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD. IT LEFT A PIT THAT STARRED OUT TO ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME, I FIGURED I WOULD CALL A GLASS REPAIR SHOP TO REPAIR IT IN THE MORNING. I PARKED THE CAR AND AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT TOW HOURS THE SMALL ROCK CHIP TURNED INTO A 2 FOOT CRACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE A LETTER FROM KIA WHICH STATES THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD FOR FREE AS THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT WINDSHEILD. I AM HOPING THAT THEY HAVE BETTER REPLACEMENTS AS THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE CRACKED SO EASILY OR AS BADLY AS IT DID. | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,000 |
| Sep 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | WINDSHIELD CHIPS VERY EASILY, ONE CHIP FROM A SMALL ROCK CAUSED THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO THE PASSENGER END OF THE WINDSHIELD WITHIN AN HOUR. I'VE HAD PLENTY OF ROCKS HIT CARS IN THE PAST, THIS ROCK WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO HAVE CAUSED THIS KIND OF DAMAGE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 5,000 |
| Aug 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | WINDSHIELD IS CHIPPING EXTREMELY EASY DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING. WITHIN 2 MONTHS, THREE SIGNIFICANT CHIPS WITH ONE OF THEM CRACKING. | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,000 |
| Aug 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | PURCHASED KIA TELLURIDE AWD NEW IN OCT. 2020. CRACKED FORMED IN WINDSHIELD OVERNIGHT WITHOUT DRIVING. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED OVER 40 PIT SPOTS IN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 21,600 |
| Aug 2020 | POWER TRAIN | MY TRANSMISSION IS RANDOMLY AND FREQUENTLY SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL, MOSTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS WHILE SHIFTING AFTER A TURN AND INCREASING SPEED. THE RESULT IS THAT I HAVE NO POWER WHILE NAVIGATING IN TRAFFIC AND MUST SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART TO REGAIN POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION. ALMOST LIKE A REBOOT OF THE SYSTEM. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN TRAFFIC AND MY FAMILY NO LONGER WANTS TO RIDE IN CAR. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO KIA BACK IN JANUARY AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. KIA HAD ME PUT A DATA READER IN THE VEHICLE TO CAPTURE THE DATA DURING THE OCCURANCES AND HAVE NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY, EVEN WHEN JUST GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE SEEN ON A TELLURIDE SOCIAL MEDIA SITE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. KIA IS NOT HANDLING THIS SATISFACTORALLY. | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,000 |
| Aug 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | WINDSHIELD HAS MANY CHIPS. IT SEEMS THAT MORE THAN OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. TELLURIDE ONLY HAS ABOUT 13,000 MILES AND I GET SPARKLES ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING IN THE SUM FROM ALL OF THE SMALL CHIPS. CAR ONLY DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY ON SELDOM TRIPS FROM LOS ALAMOS TO ALBUQUERQUE. I NOW SEE WHY THEY DO NOT COVER THE WINDSHIELD ON WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I PURCHASED | Crash: No Fire: No | 13,000 |
| Aug 2020 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER | ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE, MY WINDSHIELD CRACK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I NOTICED A SMALL LINEAR CRACK ALONG THE CENTER BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AFTER IT BEING PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. WITHIN HOURS THE CRACK SPREAD ALONG THE ENTIRE GLASS. KIA REPAIRED IT UNDER THE GOOD FAITH WARRANTY BUT I HAD TO WAIT 3-4 WEEKS FOR A WINDSHIELD TO COME IN, HAVING TO DRIVE IT LIKE THAT IN THE MEANTIME. AFTER THEY REMOVED THE WINDSHIELD AND INSPECTED IT, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY KIND OF IMPACT MARK. ONE MONTH AFTER REPAIR, A VERY SMALL PIECE OF DEBRIS HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE I WAS DRIVING (APRX 40-45 MPH) AND CAUSED A SMALL CIRCULAR CHIP THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CURED WITH RESIN TO PREVENT IT FROM SPREADING. HOWEVER, WITHIN 15 MINUTES THE CHIP CONTINUED AND SPREAD IN 3 LINEAR CRACKS. BY THE NEXT DAY THE CRACK RAN ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD AND NOW THE WINDSHIELD HAS TO BE REPLACED, AGAIN. ASIDE FROM IT BEING ANNOYING AND COSTLY TO FIX, I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FEELING LIKE THE WINDSHIELD COULD COMPLETELY BREAK ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING. | Crash: No Fire: No | 3,200 |
| Aug 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | 10/25/2019-THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS HIT BY SOMETHING WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. I INSPECTED THE WINDSHIELD AND DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE. THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A LONG CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED KIA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED WITH A KIA REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD BY SAFELITE. THE COST OF REPAIR WAS $1,540.43. A CLAIM WAS MADE AND PAID BY MY INSURANCE CARRIER AIG. A FEW MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM KIA ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE PAID FOR BY KIA. I CONTACTED AIG AND LET THEM KNOW, BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, AIG HAS NOT MADE A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. 8-10-2020 MY REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD WAS HIT BY A SMALL OBJECT WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE WINDOW IMMEDIATELY DEVELOPED A CRACK THAT CONTINUED TO EXPAND AS I DROVE. THE BREAK HAPPENED YESTERDAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A KIA DEALERSHIP AND HAVE FILED A CLAIM. I AM WAITING FOR A DECISION AND A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD. IN THE MEANTIME THE CRACK IS CONTINUING TO GROW AND IS NOW 24' LONG AND GROWING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT KIA IS GOING TO PAY TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, BUT MY SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT KIA WOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENTS. NOTE BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPEN ON THE WAY HOME FROM MY WEEKEND HOUSE ON US-59 NORTH. | Crash: No Fire: No | 26,000 |
| Aug 2020 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | THE EXHAUST PIPE END BY THE REAR BUMPER IS CAUSING BURNS ON MY HUSBAND AND TWO OUT OF THREE OF MY CHILDREN. IT IS NOT PUSHED BACK ENOUGH SO WHEN THE TRUNK IT OPENED AFTER DRIVING AND WE GO TO REMOVE ITEMS FROM CAR IT LEAVES BURNS. THE DESIGN NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AND A RECALL WOULD BE EXPECTED AS I HAVE FOUND WHILE DOING RESEARCH MANY TELLURIDE OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT IS NOT SAFE. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 3 Medical attention | 2,000 |
| Jul 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | 7/29/2020 DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, SEMI DRIVES BY AND A ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, IT DID SOME PRETTY GOOD DAMAGE, I DROVE STRAIGHT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY BY THE TIME I HAD ARRIVED THERE IT WAS SPLINTERING EVERYWHERE, MY AGENT CAME OUT TO LOOK AT IT AND HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THE DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE ROCK., MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CARE FOR 3 MONTHS. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING FOR A NEW WINDSHIELD AND CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE SO I THOUGHT I WOULD REACH OUT TO YOU ALL SINCE I AM STILL TRYING TO FIND A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD. | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,200 |
| Jul 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | TINY CHIP FROM PEBBLE IN BOTTOM CORNER IS NOW CRACKING TOTALLY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD IN 1 DAY | Crash: No Fire: No | 8,300 |
| Jul 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 20 MPH GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE THAT IS LOCATED 2 BLOCKS AWAY FROM MY HOUSE, IT STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK AND BY THE TIME I WAS DONE WITH THE SHOPPING THE CRACK SPREAD TO 2' ATTACHED PLEASE FIND PICTURES SHOWING HOW THE WINDSHIELD LOOKS | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,100 |
| Jul 2020 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | THE HALOGEN PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2020 TELLURIDE SX ARE UNSAFE AT NIGHT. THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH LIGHT OUTPUT TO PROPERLY ILLUMINATE THE ROAD AND IT'S VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE LIGHT SPREAD IS VERY LIMITED AND DOESN'T SEEM TO GO FAR ENOUGH. SEVERAL CUSTOMERS ON KIA FORUMS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SOME ARE HAVING THEIR HEADLIGHTS ADJUSTED WITH NO SUCCESS AND OTHERS ARE CHANGING THEIR OEM LAMPS FOR AFTERMARKET ONES TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURE. HYUNDAI OFFERS A NICER LED HEADLAMP ON HIGHER UP TRIM LEVELS BUT I DIDN'T NOTICED I HAD THE POOR PERFORMANCE ONES UNTIL I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. REMEMBER THAT COSTUMERS DON'T USUALLY DO TEST DRIVES AT NIGHT. I SHOULDN'T NEED TO GO TO AFTERMARKET TO INSTALL QUESTIONABLE NON-OEM BULBS TO OVERCOME THIS PERFORMANCE SHORTFALL AND POTENTIALLY CREATE AN ELECTRICAL OR FIRE HAZARD HOPEFULLY HYUNDAI QUICKLY REALIZES THAT THESE LAMPS ARE NOT WHAT'S EXPECTED ON A SUCH A NICE VEHICLE AS THE TELLURIDE AND INSTALL A NICER, BRIGHTER, SAFER ONE AS STANDARD. THANK YOU | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN THE BOTTOM PASSENGER SIDE CORNER AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND SPREAD OVER 12 INCHES BY THE NEXT DAY WITHOUT HAVING ANY REALLOCATION THAT SOMETHING EVEN HIT IT. THE CRACK DOESN'T LOOK TO HAVE A "ROCK CHIP" TYPE OF MARKING. | Crash: No Fire: No | 900 |
| Jul 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I PURCHASED MY KIA TELLURIDE SX IN JUNE 2019. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 12K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. A FEW DAYS AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I CHANGED LANES WITH A SMALL CAR (HONDA CIVIC OR EQUIVALENT) ABOUT 5 OR MORE CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF ME. AS I COMPLETED MY LANE CHANGE, A PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE PASSENGER A-FRAME, ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY UP. THE PEBBLE MUST HAVE BEEN SMALL AS WE WERE ON THE MAIN LANES OF THE HIGHWAY, AND THERE WERE NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AROUND. THE PEBBLE MADE A SMALL IMPACT POINT, AND A NEAR-IMMEDIATE 6-8 INCH CRACK. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95F TO 100F. OVER THE NEXT 2 HOURS, THE CRACK GREW QUICKLY TO AROUND 30 INCHES ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE. IT HAS CONTINUED TO GROW A FEW INCHES A DAY, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN AND I SUSPECT THAT HOT OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURES INCREASE GROWTH. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL KIA DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND ALSO INFORMED THEM OF THE CORPORATE GUIDANCE SENT OUT FROM KIA IN NOVEMBER 2019 ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO PROVIDE GOODWILL REPLACEMENTS TO TELLURIDE OWNERS. THEY WERE AWARE OF THE GUIDANCE AND AGREED TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD AT NO CHARGE TO ME. | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,000 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I HAVE HAD MY KIA TELLURIDE EX 2020 FOR THE PAST 4 MONTHS. ON MONTH 3 ITS WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE DRIVING ON RIGHT LOWER SIDE AND CRACKS STARTED TO QUICKLY EXPAND NEEDING TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD THROUGH INSURANCE AND PAID 500$ DEDUCTIBLE. I NEVER ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AT THAT TIME. AGAIN JUST A FEW DAYS AGO IN MONTH 4 OF OWNERSHIP WINDSHIELD GLASS HAS CHIPPED FROM TWO PLACES. I NEVER SAW OR HEARD ANYTHING HITTING THE GLASS WHILE DRIVING AND I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,500 |
| Jun 2020 | AIR BAGS | A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND HIT THE SIDE OF MY TELLURIDE. IT SPUN ME AROUND AND I HIT THE SIDE OF A BRIDGE HEAD ON. NOT ONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED I. THIS CRASH WHICH IS VERY TROUBLING TO ME. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES. THE TOW DRIVER SAID THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS NOT CONNECTED. *TR | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 1 Towed Medical attention | 15,000 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | VEHICLES WINDSHIELD HAS MULTIPLE CHIPS AND CRACKS. WINDSHIELD WAS HIT WITH SMALL ROCK LEAVING LARGE BUBBLE AND CRACKS IN THE GLASS. A WEEK LATER A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD LEAKING A SMALL CHIP. A MONTH AFTER THAT IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITH EVEN A SMALLER ROCK. ALL DAMAGE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN TOWN GOING UNDER 50 MPH. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,400 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM CHIP THAT I HEARD HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY 3/6/2020. THIS WINDOW IS AN OEM REPLACEMENT WINDOW FROM KIA. THE FIRST WINDSHIELD HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN IN JULY 2019 WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF PURCHASING THE CAR. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,000 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A FAIRLY QUITE NOISE, LOOKED UP AND THERE WAS A QUARTER SIZE, BULLSEYE CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD WHICH QUICKLY GREW TO A 3 FEET AND GROWING CRACK. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,800 |
| Jun 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY IN LATE FEBRUARY, A SMALL ROCK HIT THE DRIVERS SIDE LOWER WINDSHIELD. IMMEDIATELY, I SAW A BULLS-EYE APPEAR FOLLOWED BY A LINE CRACK. AFTER DRIVING A MILE OR SO I SAW THE CRACK QUICKLY EXPAND. OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW DAYS IT GOT WORSE. I FILLED A CLAIM AND GOT IT REPLACED WITH AN OEM WINDSHIELD. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CAR WASH AND NOW THE WINDSHIELD HAS FINE SCRATCHES ALL OVER IT BUT NOT THE REST OF THE CAR. SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY AMISS HERE. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,500 |
| Jun 2020 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | CONCERN REGARDING THE FACTORY INSTALLED TRAILER TOW PACKAGE, SPECIFICALLY THE LIGHTS CONTROLLED BY THE 4-PIN FACTORY SUPPLIED CONNECTION. THE TRAILER LIGHTS DO NOT ALWAYS WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MAIN BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE TELLURIDE - SPECIFICALLY WHEN USING 'AUTO HOLD'. THE DISCUSSION IS NOT IF 'AUTO HOLD' SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH A TRAILER. IT'S POSSIBLE TO USE 'AUTO HOLD' WHEN TOWING, SO IT WILL BE. THE CONCERN IS IF THE TRAILER, OR LOAD, BLOCKS THE VIEW OF THE MAIN BRAKE LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE - THE TRAILER WILL DISPLAY NO BRAKE LIGHTS IF THE DRIVER REMOVES THEIR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE STOPPED AND HELD WITH 'AUTO HOLD'. THIS CREATES A POTENTIALLY, SERIOUSLY UNSAFE CONDITION. WHILE IN 'AUTO HOLD', THE MAIN BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE DISPLAY THE SAME WHETHER OR NOT THE DRIVER'S FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, ANY LIGHTS CONNECTED TO THE 4-PIN FACTORY CONNECTOR FOR TRAILER LIGHTS ONLY FUNCTION WHEN THE DRIVER HAS THEIR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. ANY LIGHTS CONNECTED TO THE 4-PIN FACTORY CONNECTOR SHOULD ALWAYS FUNCTION THE SAME AS THE MAIN BRAKES LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE. FIRST NOTICED WHEN AN AUXILIARY HITCH LIGHT WAS CONNECTED TO THE 4-PIN FACTORY CONNECTION, AND VERIFIED LATER DURING THE FIRST TOW WITH A TRAILER CONNECTED TO THE 4-PIN CONNECTOR.*DT CONSUMER STATED AH, SCC, HDA, AND FCA ALL SYSTEMS INCLUDED IN APPLY THE BRAKES UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.*JB | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 5,000 |
| May 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | MY 2020 KIA TELLURIDE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED. IT'S ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT'S A LONG CRACK THAT START AT THE A-PILLAR AND TRAVELS ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE I SAW THE CRACK. I NEVER SAW OR HEARD ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD THIS TIME. ALSO MY WIFE AND MY SUN NEVER SAW OR HEARD ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD THIS TIME. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,300 |
| May 2020 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | WE PURCHASED THE NEW TELLURIDE IN DECEMBER, 2019. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND THE CRACK RAN ACROSS HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD. KIA DID REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD WITHOUT A CHARGE. THIS WAS ONE IN FEBRUARY 2020. OUR NEW WINDSHIELD NOW AND A BIG CHIP IN IT, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PENCIL ERASER. THERE IS LESS THAN 7000 MILES ON IT. THERE MUST BE A DEFECT OR QUALITY ISSUE IN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS THEY ARE USING. WE ARE IN OUR LATE 60'S. NO OFF READING OR RISKY DRIVING. WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE NEW CHIP HAPPENED. *TR | Crash: No Fire: No | 6,700 |
