Telluride 2024

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

Bought 2024 brand new EX Telluride. First month, dash went black. Immediately took it to Kia dealership and they told me it is OK for me to drive it because they don't have any appts for a week. That means, can't see gas mileage, warning lights, speed, etc. Finally got that fixed after a few weeks. Next, check engine light on and off. Taken it several times. Code shows misfire. They say there is bad gas. I get gas at Costco. They told me I can only get gas at chevron or Shell. What the? Had recall for seat lever. Had to park away from house due to fir Hazzard. Took forever to get notice so I could make appt to get fixed. Got my car back and they did not put the seat back together correctly so plastic piece was hanging off seat and rattling. Had to make another appt in a week to get that addressed. They had my car on and off for a week to tell me I had bad gas in car. I had no other car to use. They said if check engine light comes back on, then fuel injectors need to be replaced. Car now has 11,000 miles. Haven't even had it a year. Had a toyota highlander for 6 years, 99,000 miles and never had 1 issue with it. Wish I kept that car.

Numerous problems

Besides all of the recalls there have been, they now have a faulty navigation system that I need to pay to get the update to fix it. Their system sends you on the wrong routes, and the route may change as you’re going adding hours to your trip. If their system is flawed, why am I paying for it to be fixed?

Gasoline Sensor Failed -Wow!

I bought my Kia Telluride in late March based on reviews after driving a Palisade for 4 years. It now has 1196 miles on the odometer (5/16/2024). A couple of weeks ago I had filled the gas tank when, in the morning two days later, I started the engine and received a warning that the fuel level was dangerously low and I should look for a gas station immediately. Since I had only driven home from the gas station and had not driven it afterwards, I thought that somehow the gasoline had been stolen overnight. Not seeing any damage to the gas cap cover, I figured that somehow the tank had been penetrated and the gasoline stolen. I then drove to the nearest gas station and filled the tank with 4.7 gallons of gasoline and the gas gauge showed full. What the ----? I immediately drove to my dealer service department, reported the issue and a gasoline sensor was ordered. I then made an appt. to have it installed. The service was great, the dealer paid for a Lyft to my home and back to the dealer and my Telluride was washed. What is bothersome is that the sensor failed with less than 1000 miles on the car. This should not have happened to this top-of-the-line Telluride. After reading a number of reviews on this website, I am thinking that I should have done a lot more research before buying.

A good choice, not a perfect vehicle

I have had a 2024 for 5 months and really like it. Solid, comfortable, roomy. There have been a couple of minor recalls that were easily addressed, about the same as my last car, a Honda. I wish the gas mileage was better, but it is OK for a 6 cylinder engine that can tow 500 pounds or more: 22-23 in the city, 27-28 highway. I see the complaints and I am sure that some people have them but reliability (according to a variety of sources) is pretty good, better than Ford or GM, not quite Toyota level.

Just leased my first Telluride and I’m coming out of my second Jaguar F-Pace. Although I loved my Jaguars, they haven’t changed and aren’t keeping up with the wonderful technology I was seeking. The Telluride is amazing with great technology, more horsepower than my F-Pace!, and a quiet, comfortable ride. The interior is nicely designed, seats are heated/cooled, and the doors are beautifully lit at night. The sound system delivers well with great surround sound. The performance is surprisingly sporty and fun to drive.
