|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2024 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The vehicle will randomly hit the brakes hard and the collision warning system goes off. This happens when there is no obstacle or vehicle near the vehicle. It happens on 6 lane highways and the interstate. It almost caused numerous accidents before Paramount Kia's solution was to disable the navigation assisted automatic braking system. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | Our telluride was less than a week after purchase and driving down the street when my wife heard a crack and a small crack appeared in lower driver side of the windshield. Before reaching home within the hour, the crack has spread across half the windshield. I dont believe there was a point of impact to cause the crack. It just happened spontaneously. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Kia has failed to remedy this in a timely manner. From the day I called to schedule when I received recall, appt was 3 weeks out. Kia then cancelled the appt and when I asked why they said they needed VIN to order part which I provided and they rescheduled the appt. I showed up for appt and they said they needed to look at car for which part (which they were to order a week prior when I provided vin and recall info). Stated it would be a week and they’d have the part and it fixed. Now are saying they have no clue when they can get us in and are not telling us if they have the part or not. This is our only vehicle and cannot drive it as it states it can catch on fire parked or while driving. I have two small children, one with medical needs. We need our vehicle and when I explained this to Kia Diehl in hermitage the manager laughed in my face. Every time I call it’s a different story. Kia is refusing to fix in a timely manner or provided rentals. I am making my car payment on a brand new 2024 vehicle that I cannot drive without reimbursement or able to receive service for a vehicle that can catch on fire. We have contacted the Kia Diehl parts 3x with no returned call on an update on when the part will be in. We were told today even if they had the part they have no upcoming appts open to fix it. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,LANE DEPARTURE | Instrument cluster went black. No sensors when changing lanes can't tell MPH, fuel levels. Car said I was driving the wrong direction. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | My entire instrument cluster/dashboard display is blank. I cannot see my speed, how fast I am going, collision warnings, if my lights are on, etc. I have called the dealership, and they indicated there is no active recall. They said they cannot diagnose and fix the issue for a month. This is a major safety issue, since I have no indication of my speed or gas or anything else. It is all controlled by the dash that is blank. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Dealership (kings Kia in mason, Ohio) failed to respond to nhtsa recall. (SC316). Despite recommendation to “park outside due to risk of vehicle catching on fire” refused to fix recall in timely manner (refused to fix in next 3+ months). Unacceptable. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I was driving my 2024 KIA Telluride when the sunroof just exploded outward. It was very load and luckily I had the sunroof cover closed so no glass came inside the car.

I looked online and there were numerous people that had experienced the same problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jul 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I took delivery of my new Telluride on 9/27/2023. On 11/22/2023 I started getting a warning message on my dashboard that my battery was discharging due to external electrical devices. There was nothing on in the vehicle, nor was there anything plugged into the vehicle. This message would come up after the vehicle had been sitting for a number of hours.This message came on on 4 or 5 different occasions. Then on 11/29/2023 my entire dashboard went blank. Nothing would show on it, not even the speedometer. The car was running, and everything else was working fine. I called the dealership where I bought the vehicle and I was able to get it in that day. I picked up the vehicle the next day. It was some sort of computer problem and they were able to fix it quickly. What makes me most irritated is it happened when my vehicle was less than 2 months old. And my son and daughter-in-law also bought a Telluride at the same time as I did, and they just had to bring it in to the dealership for the exact same issue. Two out of two vehicles with that same issue is scary, and very frustrating that we spend that much money on a vehicle and it has these types of computer problems before they are even a year old. Including the safety recall that has been issued for the vehicle, another computer problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jul 2024 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | I bought a Kia Telluride on [XXX]. I drove it to Michigan on [XXX]. During the trip, a highway pebble kicked up from the tire of a truck in front of me and hit the windshield. The chip from the rock cracked the windshield from the passenger side to the driver side of the vehicle in a matter of minutes. I researched this Kia Telluride windshield incident via the internet, and there is evidence that it is due to manufacturer negligence. The windshield is defective, and a class action lawsuit has been filed. In 2020, Kia even sent letters to owners offering to correct the problem. The windshield failed and it is available for inspection. The crack in the windshield is a visual impairment for the driver. The problem hasn't been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or mechanic. The vehicle component hasn't been inspected by the manufacturer or others. There were no warning lights or messages. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jul 2024 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | The windshield on my 2024 Kia Telluride developed a small crack while driving on an highway. There was no construction vehicles in front of us or any construction happening on the road and were driving with significant distance from the vehicle in front. The windshield cracked by itself and upon inspecting the crack it’s clear that the crack was more within the glass instead of an external element. This could be potentially related to the known issue with kia’s defective windshields for model years till 2023. I believe 2024 model year also exhibits the same issue. I request Kia to look into 2024 model years and initiate a recall to replace the defective windshields. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | All 4 windows have an Auto up/down feature on the driver door switches. Intermittently the auto up/down feature does not work on 1 of the 4 windows randomly. If I roll all 4 windows down for example and then decide to roll all 4 up, sometimes 3 out of the 4 windows will roll up auto with 1 touch, and the random 1 window that decides to not roll up automatically will work by holding the button up manually and then resetting it by continuing to hold up while the window is all the up for 3-5 seconds. This fixes it temporarily until the next time. I can not recreate the problem, if I use the key fob and hold the unlock bottom to open all 4 windows, sometimes 3 out of the 4 windows will open and the last one has to be manually reset. The dealership looked at it and reset the window they mentioned, the problem still exists. Could go without an issue for a few days or multiple times a day and it's any of the 4 windows at any time. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER | Was driving on highway. Did hear a pebble/rock impact the right side of my windshield. No visible signs of a chip or damage. Finished trip. Hours later, took a short trip, still no visible signs of damage. 2 hours later, returned to car to find a crack had appeared that went from bottom right corner of windshield to about 1/3 of the way across. Don’t believe the impact should have been significant to crack the windshield | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jun 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | While driving the digital instrument panel has gone completely black and nothing is showing. In turn making it dangerous as I have no idea how fast I am going, how much gas in the car, etc. The radio side is fine but its just where your old school odometers etc use to be ,back when the world wasn't all digital. I have called and they acted like its the first time they have heard about it , but it seems to be an issue when researching online. From 2022 all the way up to now. I am taking the car in today but wanted to report this as this issue is still an issue with the Kia Telluride. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
