Kia is stealing my money. In March of this year, our 2023 Kia Telluride (3rd Kia in a row), that we lease through Kia, was involved in an accident. Since March, our Kia has been sitting at the repair shop awaiting parts that Kia cannot provide. 6 months later, no parts, no eta, and the parts can't even be ordered yet. This is unacceptable. This should be criminal. We are leasing a Kia, through Kia, paying Kia, and Kia refuses to provide the parts to fix it. Kia has told me there is no one at Kia that can help me and that my issue is with my dealer. They want me to lease a near totaled car that I can't drive for 3 years because Kia can't provide the parts to fix it. You crooks have blocked me on social media, you delete my posts, and hang up on me. You are a disgrace, no integrity, no morals, no ethics. I am going to quit making my lease payments to Kia for the Kia vehicle they won't provide the parts to fix. Kia can come repo it from Sonny's body shop in Traverse City, MI, bring a flatbed. Thanks for nothing, former loyal Kia customer

If you are looking for a grocery-getter, school taxi, beach valet, the 2023-2024 Tellurides are wonderful vehicles. However, if you think you might need a trailer hitch for the slightest reason, stop and move on to another vehicle. I have been back and forth with KIA corporate for months on the availability of an OEM hitch and wire harness. Their latest response basically stated, there is no solution, no ETA for a solution, but you can have your dealer install a third-party product. The response to the warranty question was frustratingly vague and based on my limited experience with KIA I would expect them to deny any warranty related work related remotely to towing or the hitch once installed. Let's not even mention the fact that third party hitches either hang below the bumper (compromising ground clearance) or require cutting of the facia trim since KIA doesn't supply one. The warranty document referenced in their reply basically states they will not warranty a third-party product (normal warranty exclusion), which is what I expected. Given their track-record with electrical fires I'm more concerned about the wire harness, which the warranty does state: "What is not covered: Damage or corrosion due to such factors as accidents, negligence, improper repairs or adjustments, misuse, alterations or collision." They key part of this phrase is "Damage due improper alterations" A third-party wire harness (even the palisade one) could be construed as an improper alteration. So. This will be my first and last KIA product. caveat emptor

Even though Kia says it comes with a 5500lbs towing capacity with self leveling suspension and trailer bread controls. What they don't tell you is there isn't a factory trailer hitch or bumper cover available. If you reach out to customer service they will tell you there is no ETA on when it will be available. Even if your like myself that just need a hitch to haul a bike rack.

No trailer hitch/wiring available!

They advertise this car as being able to tow 5500 lbs. but do not have a hitch or a place to wire in trailer lights! Kia has been having issues with fires in trailer wiring of other models and now have no fixes available for hitches/wiring for 2023 tellurides. If you plan to use it to tow stay away! If you don’t believe , do your web search. I bought this car to be able to tow my boat and jet skis but not anymore. Other than the lack of towing capability it appears to be a great car at least after the first couple months of ownership

Oil thirsty telluride

We got this car last year I was very impressed with this vehicle, however after having it for 15 months it’s seems to be consuming oil , I have put 4- quarts of oil in with only 12000 miles, the Kia dealer I take it to insists this is normal which I totally disagree, they had a class action lawsuit that was dismissed, this is very concerning, most owners don’t even check there oil levels. Some of these people are now have law suits because Kia is blaming them for a damaged engine, buyers beware this is a great vehicle and performs very nicely however , Kia knows very well about this problem and has yet to do the right thing to fix it, I personally had 2- sorento (2017-2020) which never needed any additional oil…
