| Dec 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Windshield broke by itself | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2021 | SEAT BELTS | Unable to put the seatbelt latch in the buckle with a booster seat in place. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2021 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Windshield already has a 'rock chip' on the driver's side. We've only had our 22 telluride for 1 week and only has 200 miles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The windshield has cracked on my new vehicle with 3,000 miles. I have investigated this and it seems to be a common problem with this make and model. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2021 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I got a Brand New 2022 Kia Telluride. Same day a rock or a piece of debris hit my windshield it was around 3:30 PM, while I was in the last lane to take my exit, so I was going at a very low speed. The impact was not that loud but caused a crack in the windshield, it quickly continue to expand by the time I got home the crack was several inches wide. It is concerning to me that at such low speed the windshield would crack, my previous vehicles had been hit before but never cracked. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2021 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Had car 5 days. Heard pebble hit windshield - immediate crack - windshield is in terrible shape. No way this should happen, just cracked immediately | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2021 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES | The door locks on the car will start cycling locked/unlocked very rapidly. Sometimes in only last 10-15 seconds, other times it will not stop until I manually click the lock or unlock button. It does this when it is parked and it does this when the vehicle is in motion. I do have a video on my phone of this. Kia is being of no assistance in getting this resolved. Online there are multiple reports of the exact same scenario and everybody is reporting Kia is not fixing the issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2021 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I just recently bought a 2022 Kia Telluride 7 days ago and while driving on the freeway the windshield shattered in the lower corner of driver side. There was no car in front of me (not a close distance) or near me for that matter and there was no overpass for a rock to have fallen from. My windshield shattered and glass landed in my face, eyes, and mouth, and all over the inside of my car. Luckily I was able to maintain some control as there were no other vehicles in close proximity. I’ve had rocks hit my windshield before but never to the point of causing this kind of damage. There have been recalls on previous Kia Telluride model and others with 2022 models have been experiencing this issue as well. This is ridiculous and of course the windshield is on back order and KIA expects me to continue driving around with my windshield like this because they don’t know when they’ll have a windshield available. At the dealership they were adamant that a rock hit the windshield however, myself and the passenger did not see a rock and the level of damage that occurred should not have been this high which is concerning as well. There is no way it is safe for me to continue driving like this especially when KIA doesn’t even have an estimated date for me to get this repaired. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2021 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | This 2022 Telluride EX was purchased on 7/10 and has about 1015 miles. While driving in a 35 mph zone beside a shopping center, I heard a click and then noticed that I had a chip in the windshield directly in front of the driver side. I never saw a rock or anything hit the windshield and there were no cars in front of me or passing me at the time so I don't believe a rock hit the windshield. I am not exactly positive what happened during this low speed incident but I have never had this with any previous vehicle I have owned. I believe there is a safety issue with the glass on this windshield if it can chip or crack this easily. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Bought a new 2022 Kia telluride July 26, 2021. on July 27 the LCD instrument cluster went black. I only had the car one day. Came back from the store started the car and it worked. A new car should not have this problem. In the Kia forums many have also had this same problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Instrument panel located between the speedometer and tachometer which shows information such as MPH, tire pressure, miles remaining, etc. intermittently goes blank. When you start the car, it shows a system check then goes blank. This does not happen every time but it happens frequently (once per day). If you shut the car off and open the door, it usually fixes the issue the next time you start the car. This issue began the day after I purchased the car new. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Day 1 of ownership of brand new vehicle. At less than 100 miles on odometer, the center part of the instrument panel goes completely black and does not display pertinent driving information, potentially information necessary for safety purposes. Problem is intermittent. Dealer is unable to fix and unable to determine cause of problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | 12 hours after departing the dealership with my new car the windshield cracked. I was driving on the freeway and a small pebble size object hit the windshield. Immediately there was a crack and within hours it spread. The object was very tiny. The impact of the object was not strong since I actually assumed it was bird dropping that hit the car. I contacted the dealership and was informed no replacement is available at this time because the car is so new. It is also not under warranty. They have no estimated time as to when I can replace it. I am worried about the safety of my family as the crack continues to spread impacting my visibility. I am concerned it will shatter causing harm to passengers. This problem has been reported by consumers of 2020 model Tellurides and two models later it appears the issue continues with the 2022s. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jul 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The LCD display in the instrument cluster that gives information about many ADAS features stays Off. The screen just remains blank on most starts. Restarting after opening and closing the doors helps some times to bring the display back. But since there is no feedback about many ADAS features because of no display, it is indeed a safety issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The component is called the information cluster which sits between the odometer and the speedometer. It was been inspected and they flashed the firmware but the problem continues to persist. With out the I can not view my mileage I can’t turn on safer features like the alert if a child is left in the back seat etc. I called back to report it still wasn’t working and was told their engineers are working on it.
