Ac blowing hot

My car is 2 months old and the air started blowing hot.Brought it in to dealer and first thing out of service techs mouth was oh a rock must of hit your condenser.Then comes to tell me yah it was a rock and your warranty doesn't cover that. Then go to read 30 other reviews of the same issue and how they were told to make a claim with their insurance and just pay the deductible to get it fixed..Wow same exact thing I was told! There's no way me and 30 plus other kia telluride owners all have the same issue and here about a rock hitting the condenser before even being looked at!!Kia knows this is a issue and Shame on them!!!

Kia Telluride

My Kia Tellude after 17,000 miles started randomly slaming on breaks with no cars in front of vehicle. We have had it in Kia dealership for 4 weeks and they have no idea how to fix it. They said they had 3 other Telluride doing same thing. Will never buy another Kia. Sad thing is it will take someone being killed in the car to get recalls. But it won't be my family selling ASAP.

Great car electrical issue

I love this car. The only problem is an electrical issue that the dealer has not been able to fix. When the car sits for more than 3 days, it does not start. It has been at the dealer twice and is currently there since 12/9. They have replaced parts in the door but it still has an issue

Battery dead after a day and a half

I purchased this SX Telluride October 2019. The battery died 4 times, the first time was March 3rd, May 6th, August 10th and September 8th. I took the vehicle to the Dealership 3 times and the last time I took it in they kept it for 5 days. On September 16th the day I picked it up, the dealership told me they could not find a problem with the battery and charged me $75.00 for checking all the vehicles systems. Now it is September 27 2020 and the vehicle will not start nor will any of the interior lights come on! THIS vehicle a LEMON!!! and I am reaching out Monday Morning to every Governmental agency I can find to get rid of this vehicle Chicago,IL 60622

Nice SUV with way too many problems

We really like the Telluride, however, ours has been riddled with problems since the second month of ownership (build date is 01/2020). I won’t get into the details of all the issues as a simple google search or look at Telluride forums mirrors most of the problems we have. All speaks to the dismal quality, it all looks nice but underneath it’s junk. Our number one issue is a driveline vibration that is not always apparent making it very difficult to repair. We’ve had new torque converter, driveshafts, hubs, and even tire to no avail. Also, dealer service absolutely sucks. I really miss owning a Toyota.
