2020 Kia Telluride

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY FORWARD COLLISION WARNING INDICATOR STARTED FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD WHILE A DINGING SOUND WENT OFF. THERE WAS NOTHING AROUND ME, THEN MY TIRE PRESSURE WARNING STARTED GOING OFF WHILE MY PRESSURE WAS FINE. THE INDICATORS WOULD SWITCH BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN BOTH WARNINGS, THEN MY MIRROR SENSORS WERE INDICATING THAT SOMETHING WAS NEXT TO BOTH OF MY MIRRORS WHILE NOTHING WAS THERE. THEN ALL OF MY WARNING INDICATORS BEGAN FLASHING AND CONTINUED TO FLASH. ONCE THESE ISSUES STARTED MY BACK UP CAMER NO LONGER WORKED WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE DAYS LATER WHEN THE ISSUE PERSISTED TO THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY ARE ORDERING A NEW BACK UP CAMERA WITH NO REAL EXPLANATION. CONSIDERING THIS RELATES TO A COLLISION WARNING SOMETHING IN THE VEHICLE MEANT TO PREVENT A COLLISION, NOT WORKING PROPERLY MY OPINION IS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

Driving down the highway and notice a small chip in the windshield.We heard no impact noise while driving. It went from a micro chip to the attached picture in approx an hour. We are outraged because we just repaired our windshield last week from an unknown chip/crack that we came outside to one morning. It spread from the rear view mirror area to the passenger edge of the windshield in 2 days.

About a few weeks ago my family and I were on our way to Disney for vacation. While on the highway driving around 70+ mph the vehicle suddenly made a big bang sound. The radio shut off and the checkESC (electronic stability control) message popped up on the display. A few miles later it did the same thing. Good thing we had just started our 10 hour drive to be able to take a back road back home doing 55 mph to switch vehicles. Once we got back from our vacation, we took it to a Kia dealership. On our way to the dealership the radio was constantly rebooting itself and then the big bang will happen. The dealership said they could not duplicate the issue and fixed the recalls instead and called us to come pick the car up. On our way home from the dealership, the radio again started rebooting itself. We tried to take it to an Hyundai dealership because it’s a lot closer to our house, only to find out when we got there that they don’t have the equipment to electrically work on a Kia product. So on our way home from the Hyundai dealership the radio starts doing the same thing and while going over an overpass, it did the bang thing twice. The bang feels like the car is stopping and starting back up really fast while the car is in gear and rpm’s jump up as well. It all starts with the radio constantly rebooting itself nonstop. As of 6/10/23 the car is back at the Kia dealership. After explaining and showing recorded videos to the service advisor, they claim the car cannot possibly be repaired unless they are able to duplicate the issue. They think we have an issue with the radio constantly rebooting itself, which we do, but it’s more so of a safety issue of the car shutting itself off while driving. We purchased this vehicle 2 months ago and have put less than 2500 miles on it. Also the other day, we were pulling up to our home and when I put the car in reverse to back in, the car shut off. This has to be the worst purchase we have made. It only has 54,000 mikes on it.

Over the past few days, I have noticed a complete failure of the high beam functionality in my vehicle. Whenever I attempt to engage the high beams, there is no response or illumination. This issue persists regardless of the driving conditions or the operation of other lighting features, such as the low beams, turn signals. The inability to utilize high beams while driving at night significantly compromises visibility, thereby increasing the risk of collisions, particularly with animals that may suddenly appear on the roadway. This issue not only endangers my own safety but also jeopardizes the lives of pedestrians, other motorists, and the innocent wildlife that inhabit our surroundings.

High beam headlights stopped working. There are no maintenance indicators that tell me the high beams do not work. When I pull the switch to turn on high beams, the high beam dash indicator lights up on the dash, but the high beams do not turn on. I have replaced both high beam bulbs, but that did not fix the issue, so I just do not drive this vehicle at night anymore. I was researching recalls and issues with my make/model, and read about other people having this issue and researched how to report it. This is a serious concern when driving at night, as the low beam lights by themselves are a hazard because they do not properly project lighting more than a few feet. Without high beams, driving at night is completely dangerous. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center, or inspected. There are no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms.

The contact owns a 2020 Kia Telluride. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front windshield cracked without impact. The vehicle was taken to the local glass repair shop and the windshield was replaced. The contact stated that the failure recurred approximately six months later. During the failures, there was no impact to the windshield to cause the crack. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.
