KIA Telluride Lemon
Our 2024 Telluride (at 2800 miles): Had problems soon after getting it. Had to buy a battery jump device as it was failing to start without a jump. First time in KIA service garage they could find nothing, yet problem continued. Service finally replaced the battery and car worked for a couple of months. Have had to tow this lemon in five times now in the February 2024 to February 2025 period. Have had the car in the KIA garage in total approximately seven weeks now and still not fixed according to service. KIA’s own service records document this. Problem is intermittent. The car starts behaving for a time after service tells us it is fixed, or that after weeks there, they can’t find anything to fix. A car that you can’t rely on to do groceries or go to the library is worthless. We know by now we can’t trust it for any trips. Not acceptable. We ended up with a lemon by most any measure. Beautiful car, when it works! Greg Starkey [contact info removed]
Telluride complaints
I drove a Honda Pilot for 8 years. Wanted a newer and sleek body style, so I bought a Telluride. Sadly, I didn't drive it on a freeway or keep overnight for some extra time in the vehicle. It has a bumpy ride and lots of road noise. The seat belt strap is very far back on the car door and extremely hard to reach. I can't just reach and grab it, without turning my entire body to grab it. Then when seatbelt is on, it rubs my neck. I'm 5' 2" and it cant be adjusted better. Only two drink holders in the front. The Pilot has 4. More cubby holders would be better. Love the Captain Chairs in second row and love the lowered area behind the third row seat, for cooler, grocery items to sit & not fall over, etc.

What's not to like?
Good power, solid build, quiet ride and amazing interior, you would be hard pressed to find a 3 row SUV with the features the 2024 KIA Telluride offers. My only minor complaint would be the less than stellar gas mileage. .

Great Ride
I've had my Telluride almost a year. Still love it as much as the day I bought it. I travel a lot and drive many different rental SUVs. Ive always liked the Telluride and last year I had a chance to rent one for 11 days. I drove it about 1500 miles (city, highway, mountains) and found it to be one of the most comfortable cars ever. I typically have back problems on long drives. When driving the Telluride I had no back pain or soreness. When I needed a larger car to accommodate 2 car seats and all the goes with 2 kids the Telluride was a clear choice. Our other car is a Genesis GV70 and the Telluride is more comfortable and enjoyable to drive. Fuel economy isn't great but everything else is. Highly recommend the Telluride if you are looking for a comfortable and affordable mid size SUV.

Telluride can't tow
I hate the car The dealership lied about the availability of a trailer hitch and even though I paid for the towing package the wiring harness is still an additional installation and cost. If and when you can get one.
