2020 Kia Telluride Complaint Log

Inside brake pad on drivers side rear separated from the metal backing plate. Other pad is hardly used and other side is not worn. This caused difficulty stopping and a grinding noise from the left rear of the vehicle.

The headlights in general are very dim and don't shine out to create an illuminated peripheral view. Also, both high beams have completely stopped working.

Windshield cracking from a small rock barely hitting it while driving. Seems to be a flaw in the Kia product.

My windshield was hit by a tiny rock and had a small pit. The next day when I went to my car, there was a crack across 1/2 of my windshield. The spot the rock hit did not even star crack. This is a safety issue for the window to crack that sat.

High beams do not switch on from low beams. Safety is put at risk due to not being able to have visual on roads with no street lights in rural areas. The problem has been reproduced even with new bulbs. No warring messages have appeared.

My wife and I purchased a 2020 KIA Telluride in November of 2019. A few weeks after we took delivery we received the attached letter dated 12-9-2019 from KIA stating there may be an issue with the windshield cracking and that they would replace the windshield if this happened. This did happen and KIA replaced the windshield on 03-26-2020 at no charge as they had stated in the letter we received. On the morning of 6-5-2021 I moved the Telluride out of the garage to the driveway, when I went to move it back in a couple of hours later the windshield was cracked across the drivers field of vision. We called the dealership (Moritz) and made an appointment for 6-22-2021 (we were on vacation from 6-9-2021 until 6-19-2021) to have the windshield replaced. After the windshield was replaced we were told it would be $868.31 (invoice attached), the MORITZ KIA service manager (Joby Spradley) told the service advisor (Trai Chavez) to inform us that he had checked with a ‘KIA representative’ and KIA would not pay for replacing the cracked windshield even though the windshield cracked while the vehicle was sitting in our driveway. The letter we received did not state that KIA would only replace the windshield one time. We shouldn’t have had to pay a for manufacturing / quality issue.

Collision warning system failed. Barnett Kia St Paul MN said two weeks to get an appointment for. Safety issue?

AC Condenser failed after 13,500 miles

AC Condenser failed at 13,500 miles

High beam function does not work. Went out completely with no warning or indication.

I HAVE HAD THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED THREE TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED 14 MONTHS AGO. KIA ACKNOWLEDGES THE ISSUE BUT HAS NOT PROVIDED A TRUE "FIX" FOR THE PROBLEM AND NOW HAS INDICATED THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACEMENTS BUT TO CONTACT MY INSURANCE CARRIER. THE CRACKS COME IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING AN IMPACT WITH A ROCK OR DEBRIS AND SPREAD IMMEDIATELY AFTER IMPACT SO THE REPAIRS CANNOT BE MADE. I HAD MY FIRST ONE REPLACED USING INSURANCE AND KIA REPLACED THE SECOND ONE BUT NOW REFUSES RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS ODD THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE INITIALLY AND SAY THEY WILL PROVIDE A REMEDY ONE TIME BUT DO NOT HAVE ANY RESOLUTION TO CURE THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM THAT THE WINDSHIELDS HAVE EITHER A QUALITY OR AN ENGINEERING DEFECT.

While driving my suv on the highway the day I purchased it on 6/5/20 it disabled 5 times where I was only able to use brakes and pull off side of road. I was 36 weeks pregnant and had my 2 year old in the car. I didn’t make it home. There was highway construction locally and no edge to pull off on if needed. We could of been seriously injured or died. It was towed to my local Kia dealer where they didn’t find anything wrong with it. They replaced the battery. It seemed to be running ok then on 5/5/21 my suv disabled again only being able to use the brakes and pull over while driving it on a hilly, narrow backroad with someone driving behind me with my 10 month old in the car. Every time this has happened the suv loses all power and needs to be placed in park to be restarted. The Kia dealer has had my suv for over a week and cannot find anything wrong with it. They reached out to the Kia tech line who says they’ve done all the right testing and there is nothing else to do. The Kia dealer believes it has an electrical problem that they have not been able to reproduce. There are no warnings before the suv completely disables. This problem could cause serious injury or death. The dealer is telling me my suv is ready to be picked up. I refuse to take my suv back from the dealership. I’ve started Iowa lemon law papers 5/6/21 and I’m waiting for the Kia manufacturer to receive them certified mail.

I WAS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY AND A ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD. IT LEFT A SPOT NEAR THE REARVIEW MIRROR, BUT NO CRACKS. THEN 2 DAYS LATER I HAVE A CRACK GOING ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. WITHIN ANOTHER 4 DAYS, THE CRACK IS NOW ALMOST ACROSS THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE WINDSHIELD AS WELL AS UP TO THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. I'VE HAD OTHER VEHICLES GET DINGED WITH ROCKS BUT NEVER HAD ONE CRACK THIS QUICKLY OR CONTINUE TO SPREAD DAY AFTER DAY EVEN WHEN IT IS JUST SITTING IN MY CARPORT.

IF THE WINDOWS ARE DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ABOVE 50MPH,) THEY CANNOT ROLL BACK UP COMPLETELY. IT SEEMS THAT THE PRESSURE OF THE SPEED STOPS THEM FROM COMPLETELY CLOSING. IN ORDER TO ROLL THEM BACK UP I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO AROUND 35 MPH. I'VE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON KIA OWNERS FORUMS.

MY TELLURIDE ALL OF A SUDDEN HAS CHIPS ALL OVER THE WINDSHIELD NEVER NOTICE ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD THAT WILL CAUSE ALL THIS CHIPS.

WITH LESS THAN 7500 MILES ON MY TELLURIDE, I HAVE 3 SMALL CHIPS ON MY FRONT WINDSHIELD. LAST CHIP WAS YESTERDAY HAS DEVELOPED A SMALL CRACK

HIGH BEAMS WILL NOT FUNCTION. REPLACED LIGHT BULBS. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLM. REPLACED RELAY AND FUSE. DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. TOOK TO DEALER. SERVICE TECH APPEARED TO BE BEFUDDLED. HIS ONLY SUGGESTION WAS TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AT A COST OF OVER $2000.00 OR JUST WAIT UNTIL KIA ANNOUNCED A RECALL AS HE COULD NOT DETERMINE EXACT CAUSE OF PROBLEM.

The high beams are no longer operable.

I WOKE UP TODAY TO AN ODD SHAPED CIRCULAR CRACK AND SUBSEQUENT SPIDERING OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD OF MY TELLURIDE. THE CRACK IS QUITE LOW NEARLY UNDER THE TOP OF THE HOOD AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT HAPPENED. AFTER REVIEWING ARTICLES I DISCOVERED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST KIA FOR DEFECTS TO THE WINDSHIELD SO I THOUGHT IT BEST TO REPORT IT. THE CRACK WAS NOT THERE WHEN I LAST DROVE IT 3/26.

I PURCHASED MY 2020 KIA TELLURIDE ON 10/16/2019. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LETTER I WAS SENT A LETTER FROM KIA 'GIFTING' A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD DUE TO SOME CONSUMERS EXPERIENCING DEFECTIVE GLASS THAT JUST BREAKS FOR NO REASON. EARLY JANUARY 2020, MY WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED WHILE JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. KIA REPLACED IT. NOW 14 MONTHS LATER, THE REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD DID THE EXACT SAMETHING!!! THE CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I LIVE IN CHARLESTON SC AND WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY EXTREME TEMPERATURES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND UNSAFE.

ON 3/23/21 I WAS IN MOTION WHEN I SAW A SMALL CHIP IN MY WINDSHIELD AFTER AN HOUR IT BEING STATIONARY IT GREW TO 7". BY THE END OF THE DAY STILL STATIONARY IT WAS HALF WAY ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. I CALLED MY NEAREST DEALERSHIP AND THE EARLIEST APPT. WAS 3/31/21.

OUR WINDSHIELD CRACKED AND THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO REPLACE IT WITHOUT CHARGING US OVER $1300

WINDSHIELD CRACKING EVEN AFTER REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 KIA TELLURIDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KIA OF WILMINGTON (1603 PENNSYLVANIA AVE, WILMINGTON, DE 19806, (302) 656-3100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE WINDSHIELD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

White Pearl Paint peeling which I paid extra for to get this paint color / type.

Headlights high beams have not been working for over a year. When the high beams trigger is pulled/turned to on you can see a slight lift in the low beam attempting to transition to high beams but it fails. No high beams are activated.

SOMETHING SMALL FLEW UP AND CHIPPED THE WINDSHIELD ON THE SERVICE ROAD GOING 45 MPH. NO CRACKS JUST A CHIP

THE LIGHTS WONT DIM, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO DROVE THE VEHICLE THE NEXT NIGHT AND THEY WORKED OK ,DROVE IT LAST NIGHT THEY WOULD NOT DIM OR BRIGHT COULD NOT TELL WHAT THEY WAS STUCK ON, THE INSIDE INDERCATOR WORK FINE. I THINK THIS MIGHT B A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.THANKS

I WAS DRIVING AT MAYBE 40-45 MPH ON FRIDAY MORNING AND HEARD A *PING* AS A PIECE OF ROAD SALT (I ASSUME...WE HAD A LOT OF SNOW THIS WEEK) HIT MY WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I DIDN'T SEE ANY DAMAGE TO THE GLASS AT THE TIME NOR ON MY COMMUTE BACK HOME. WHEN I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, I NOTICED AN 8" CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. SUPER SURPRISING...AND AGGRAVATING. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A VERY TINY CHIP FROM THAT MORNING'S "PING" THAT FURTHER CRACKED...

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 OR 15 MINUTES BOTH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND THE FORWARD COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM STOP OPERATING. EVEN AFTER YOU CLEAN OFF THE SENSOR IT DOES NOT HELP. IT RANDOMLY CLEARS ITSELF, BUT WILL ALSO STOP AGAIN AFTER SOME TIME. THIS HAPPENS BOTH ON LOCAL ROADS AND THE HIGHWAY.

At about 45,000 miles on the vehicle both bright lights no longer worked suddenly at the same time. I figured they had burn out so I purchased brand new bulbs for both sides at advanced auto parts. advanced auto parts installed the lightbulbs, and when I flipped the switch for brights again no bright lights. Apparently there’s an issue on the 2020 tellurides for some reason, the bright lights quit working. This is a serious safety issue, especially with it getting darker earlier and with deer running at this time of the year.

BOUGHT THE CAR IN FEBRUARY 2020, STARTING THIS WINTER A HIGH PITCHED WHISTLE NOISE CAN BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE BAY DURING COLD START IN THE MORNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S FREEZING. DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TWICE YET THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE CANNOT BE LOCATED. KIA REFUSED TO OFFER MORE HELP, SIMPLY ASKING ME TO WAIT UNTIL IT GETS WORSE OR SOMETHING REALLY BREAKS. THIS KIND OF NOISE COULD BE AN INDICATOR OF OTHER ENGINE OR AIR INTAKE PROBLEM WHICH KIA IS NOT CAPABLE TO DIAGNOSE.

High beams stopped working. Lights are terrible at night. No warning, just stopped working all of a sudden.

High beams do not work. Had bulbs replaced but no effect. Checked all fuses, and they checked out ok.

WITH WINTER COMING ON THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN IN NIGHT TIME CONDITIONS. THE FACTORY WINDOW TINTING INTERFERES WITH THE ABILITY TO SEE DOWN THE ROAD EFFECTIVELY AS THE TOP PART OF THE WINDOW IS DARK AT NIGHT. .

CAME OUT OF MY HOME THIS MORNING (12/9/2020) TO FIND A LARGE CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD STEMMING FROM A SMALL CHIP. I'M THE ONLY DRIVER AND ENCOUNTERED NOTHING ON MY DRIVE TO OR FROM MY DESTINATION TO RESULT IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THERE IS NOTHING NEAR WHERE MY VEHICLE IS PARKED TO RESULT IN SOMETHING LIKE THIS EITHER. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF JUNE 2020 AND MY DRIVING IS MINIMAL.

ACTIVE SAFETY RECALLS: ' SC194 TRAILER BRAKE LIGHT (NHTSA #20V436)

I LOVE THIS CAR. I REPLACED MY 2016 LEXUS GL 460 WITH THE 2020 TELLURIDE EX V6, A LOW MILAGE PREVIOUSLY OWNED CAR I FOUND AT A DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I FELT IT COMPARED FAVORABLY IN EVERY WAY WITH THE LEXUS, WHICH I HAD BOUGHT NEW. UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE OTHERS WHO HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME LIGHTING ISSUE, I DID NOT DO A NIGHT TIME TEST DRIVE OF THIS CAR, BUT WHEN I DID FINALLY DRIVE IT AT NIGHT - WOW! THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED AS A DRIVER. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE DRIVING THIS KIA AFTER DARK ON A CITY STREET PROVED TO BE DANGEROUS AND SCARY. LIGHTING WAS SO POOR- ESPECIALLY THE PERIPHERAL LIGHTING AND LOW BEAM HEIGHT RANGE - THAT I COULD NOT FIND MY DESTINATION BECAUSE THE HOUSE NUMBERS ON THE MAILBOXES AS WELL AS THE STREET SIGN WERE NOT LIT WELL ENOUGH TO READ. BUT WHAT WAS WORSE IS THAT I VERY NEARLY HIT A PEDESTRIAN WHO WAS WALKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. BY THE WAY, MY VISION IS 20/20 AND NIGHT DRIVING HAS NOT PREIOUSLY BEEN A PROBLEM. I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHTING SYSTEM SO THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE CAR STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER WHO CHECKED THE BULBS AND THEIR PLACEMENT; HE FOUND NO PROBLEM. I AM A WIDOW SO I DRIVE MYSELF EVERYWHERE I GO, INCLUDING AT NIGHT. BRIGHT, SAFE ILLUMINATION IS A MUST! I AM NOT DRIVING MUCH AT NIGHT THESE DAYS BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS WAY TOO RISKY CONSIDERING THE POOR VISIBILITY AFTER DARK. I CAN TELL YOU THAT KIA WILL HAVE A LAW SUIT (OR MULTIPLE SUITS) ON THEIR HANDS WHEN THIS POOR HEADLIGHT SITUATION IS THE CAUSE OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!

ABOUT A WEEK AGO, MY WIFE DROVE OUT TO GO SHOPPING BUT RETURNED WITHIN 5 MINS DUE TO A LOW PRESSURE TIRE WARNING. THE TIRE WAS VERY LOW AND SHE PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE. I REMOVED THE JACK (WHICH HAD NEVER BEEN USED PREVIOUSLY) AND STARTED TO JACK UP THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE FLAT WAS. I WAS SHOWING THE NOTCHES FOR POSITIONING THE JACK TO MY WIFE AND SHOWING HER HOW TO PROPERLY JACK UP A VEHICLE. BEAR IN MIND, I HAVE ROTATED MY TIRES AND DONE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS ON MY CARS/SUVS, VANS FOR OVER 30 YEARS. I HAD THE JACK STRAIGHT UP IN THE CORRECT POSITION AND ON A PERFECTLY FLAT GARAGE FLOOR AND STARTED TO JACK THE CAR UP. BY THIS TIME THE TIRE HAD DEFLATED TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT HAD ABOUT AN INCH OR TWO FROM THE RIM TOUCHING THE GROUND. I HAD JUST GOTTEN THE VEHICLE UP TO NORMAL RIDE HEIGHT WHEN THE JACK COLLAPSED SUDDENLY AND THE CAR CAME DOWN. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND AM JUST THANKFUL THAT I WASN'T IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO TAKE THE WHEEL OFF. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE JACK AND THERE IS A BOW TO THE THREADED ROD BUT OTHERWISE YOU CAN'T SEE VERY MUCH FROM THE PICTURE. WHEN YOU TURN THE JACK, YOU CAN EASILY SEE A SIGNIFICANT WOBBLE IN THE WINDING ACTION. I CAN'T IMAGE HAVING TO TRY AND JACK UP A VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN LESS THAN IDEAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT I HAD IN MY GARAGE. SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST.

I have had been in several times to correct the recall, they noted the seat repaired under warrenty but the service advisor was stuck when retrieving my car. Headlights have need in twice and I’m being told the fix failed to correct the headlights. Wipers stop working intermittently and paint is down to bare metal along windshield and hood. This car is crap.. rear seat folds up when sitting on it and I am repiadmy told they don’t see a problem. Seats are not electric in the rear. This has a feature of an auto close from the back for loading. And it is triggered when my kids sit in it. Only the right rear captains chair.

FRONT COLLISION WARNING MALFUNCTION. WHEN A VEHICLE TO MY LEFT AND IN FRONT OF ME BRAKES, MY VEHICLE THINKS IT'S IN FRONT OF ME AND AUTOMATICALLY BRAKES WITH WARNINGS ON THE WINDSHIELD DISPLAY. VERY DANGEROUS TO THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES. TWICE THEY RECALIBRATED THE SENSORS AND ON THE LAST VISIT, THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR. IT'S STILL HAPPENING SO I NEED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN. I'VE SEARCHED THIS ONLINE IN FORUM AND YOUTUBE, AND IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME KIA ISN'T AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SAID THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN A CRACK APPEARED THAT CAME FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE ALMOST ALL THE WAY INTO HE FIELD OF VIEW. AFTER INSPECTION, I DO FIND A VERY SMALL (SMALLER THAN A PIN HEAD) CHIP. SHE NEVER RECALLS HEARING SOMETHING HIT THE VEHICLE.

VIBRATION/HUMMING NOISE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (MOST NOTICEABLE BTWN. 65-75 MPH). CONFIRMED BY 2 DIFFERENT KIA DEALERSHIPS, SUSPECTED TO BE AN ISSUE WITH DRIVE SHAFT OR REAR DIFFERENTIAL.

Rear Struts/Shocks have been replaced twice due to failure and they have failed again. The first time was due to horrible noises coming from rear of vehicle going up inclines. The second time they were replaced noises came from the rear going over any slight bump or rough terrain.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THE ES MODEL ARE SO BAD. THERE IS MINIMAL PERIPHERAL ILLUMINATION OUTSIDE OF THE LIGHTS . THE LIGHTS ARE SO POOR THAT THE DRIVER CANNOT SEE THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON UNLIGHTED ROADS OR GOING AROUND A CURVE. VERY DANGEROUS. THE FIRST SET OF LIGHTS STOPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WAS REPLACED BY DEALER WITH NEW FACTORY LIGHTS THAT DO NOT ILLUMINATE ADEQUATELY AND ARE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR BOTH DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING, I HEARD A SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD. IT LEFT A PIT THAT STARRED OUT TO ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME, I FIGURED I WOULD CALL A GLASS REPAIR SHOP TO REPAIR IT IN THE MORNING. I PARKED THE CAR AND AFTER SITTING FOR ABOUT TOW HOURS THE SMALL ROCK CHIP TURNED INTO A 2 FOOT CRACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE A LETTER FROM KIA WHICH STATES THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD FOR FREE AS THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT WINDSHEILD. I AM HOPING THAT THEY HAVE BETTER REPLACEMENTS AS THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE CRACKED SO EASILY OR AS BADLY AS IT DID.

WINDSHIELD CHIPS VERY EASILY, ONE CHIP FROM A SMALL ROCK CAUSED THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO THE PASSENGER END OF THE WINDSHIELD WITHIN AN HOUR. I'VE HAD PLENTY OF ROCKS HIT CARS IN THE PAST, THIS ROCK WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH TO HAVE CAUSED THIS KIND OF DAMAGE.

I RECENTLY HAD TAKEN MY FIRST ROAD TRIP IN MY NEW VEHICLE AND WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. A ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSED A CRACK TO GO FROM ONE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO THE OTHER SIDE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A WINDSHIELD CRACK SO EASILY ON A VEHICLE. I CONTACTED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY $500 TO REPLACE A WHOLE WINDSHIELD WHEN I HAVE NOT HAD THE CAR FOR LONG AT ALL. I LOVE THE VEHICLE BUT IF THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO THEN I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT. KIA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.

PURCHASED KIA TELLURIDE AWD NEW IN OCT. 2020. CRACKED FORMED IN WINDSHIELD OVERNIGHT WITHOUT DRIVING. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTICED OVER 40 PIT SPOTS IN THE WINDSHIELD GLASS.

MY TRANSMISSION IS RANDOMLY AND FREQUENTLY SLIPPING INTO NEUTRAL, MOSTLY AT LOWER SPEEDS WHILE SHIFTING AFTER A TURN AND INCREASING SPEED. THE RESULT IS THAT I HAVE NO POWER WHILE NAVIGATING IN TRAFFIC AND MUST SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART TO REGAIN POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION. ALMOST LIKE A REBOOT OF THE SYSTEM. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN TRAFFIC AND MY FAMILY NO LONGER WANTS TO RIDE IN CAR. I HAVE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO KIA BACK IN JANUARY AND HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. KIA HAD ME PUT A DATA READER IN THE VEHICLE TO CAPTURE THE DATA DURING THE OCCURANCES AND HAVE NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY, EVEN WHEN JUST GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE SEEN ON A TELLURIDE SOCIAL MEDIA SITE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. KIA IS NOT HANDLING THIS SATISFACTORALLY.
