I purchased a new 2024 Telluride with in a week my infotainment screen would be blank when started which meant you have no back up cameras and can't change your radio the dealer told me there is a small reset hole which you can stick a pen in to reset your screen but at 60,000 you shouldn't have to reset the screen been in the shop 5 times to fix at one point they said the wires were crossed this didn't work had to wait 2 months for corporate to approve new unit installation. Then went through the local touch less car wash and all my door trim started blowing off the dealer tried re-glue back on which did not work after a few more washes all the trim was flapping in the wind had to used good old duct tape hold temporarily while I'm waiting for new trim on back order. This problem is now a recall issue. Then I had pink liquid puddles on my new concrete driveway that ended up being a radiator hose fitting leak which they fixed. Also my music station and seats were changed when I went to start the vehicle I believe they have a computer problem with this vehicle. You have a lock and unlock buttons in door but they do not work when you want to leave the vehicle and lock you doors you have use the door handle why have the buttons. The gas mileage is absolutely terrible approximately 16 miles to a gallon. Also on the screen it will show your availability gas mileage the screen will show say 24 miles per and suddenly change 12 for example the average cannot drop like that if you have say 6,000 miles thats not possible this happens often. Just waiting to get fixed so I trade this in on another vehicle which will cost you thousands. My trim level is an x pro with a towing package. DO NOT BUY!

Three weeks after I bought the car, I discovered that the hood's heat shield was severely damaged. Neither the dealer, nor Kia customer services accepted to fix it. Both said it was "cosmetic damage," probably caused by a rodent. Therefore, it wasn't covered by the warranty. I spent 50k+ on the car. I am pissed.

Too Many Trim Lines and Lack of Standard Features

2024 Kia Telluride EX 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

Our vehicle (not a Kia) was totaled and we had a week to figure out which Telluride to go with once we decided we liked the model. Frankly, Kia has far too many trim lines that makes it incredibly difficult for the consumer to compare and contrast. We thought the EX AWD would fit the bill however features you would expect to be standard among any of the trims are not. There are nuances that no consumer could possibly know until they spend significant time inside the car messing around with the features to realize that what you see online and in their manuals don't apply to this model. If you are looking for a Telluride, opt for the SX trim line or above because it seems most of the major reviews online are based on the SX lines. Kia failed to make certain features standard across the trim lines that one would expect especially since it would more than likely reduce their manufacturing costs. Here are some of the major nuances that we did not know when we purchased the EX trim line. No garage door opener built into the rear view mirror. You can purchase one for $500 plus install. The cluster dash does not have an option to change the view to the round MPH and RPM view. It's a clunky and cheap looking number display. Remote start with this is only available via the Kia Connect App versus the Key FOB. The App requires an annual subscription of $100 plus. Door handles are not a touch and open/lock. You have to push a button on the handle to lock and unlock. Don't get me wrong its a nice looking and driving SUV. We've had it for 4 days. But I feel a bit duped, misled, and frustrated they make it such a difficult SUV to wrap your head around. I mean, how can you offer heated and ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel and not offer a rear view mirror with a garage door opener or a way to change the dash view?!

We’ve had it for 3 months and, so far, this is the best car we have ever owned. It has so many top of the line features and gizmos that we are discovering new ones almost every time we drive it. The V6 is very quiet and responsive and, for a car this large and heavy, the gas mileage is reasonable. The stop/start feature is jerky and annoying, but easily defeated with the 10 minute installation of an Autostop. I like the fact that, unlike many cars in its class, it doesn’t have a tiny 4 cylinder with a turbocharger strapped on to it. Because they operate using exhaust gases, turbos get extremely hot and the engine oil passes through it, deteriorating the oil that lubricates the vitals of the engine. One feature of the Honda Pilot that was a deal breaker for me is their cylinder deactivation system. Several years ago before the system was fully thought out, it was installed and sold to the unsuspecting public and caused lots of problems. They’ve retweaked it several times, but the concept is problematic. I had a Pontiac V8 a few years back with the same system, and reports of excessive oil usage were legion. It was worrisome enough that I easily defeated the system with an ECM reflash, which cannot be done on the Honda. If not for that, we may have bought the Honda instead. The lengths that manufacturers are having to take to get an additional half a mile per gallon because of the unrealistic CAFE requirements are ridiculous. This is one really great car.

A little over priced

The trim level we desired was the SX Prestige X-line because of the HUD but it going to cost about $60K with taxes and all. Looked at stepping back to the SX X-Line but it's only about $2K less. Consider instead the Hyundai Palisade which is essentially the same vehicle. HUD is included in the limited edition and it doesn't have those ugly black painted wheels. Also the Palisade Limited has features not offered on the Telluride such as auto dimming side view mirrors, and power folding and heated 3rd row seats for $7-8K less.
