In owners’ own words

Other mileage not reported 2 mo in service
Car was traveling down the road at 45 miles an hour. The windshield cracked under normal driving conditions. Living in Iowa this would fall under the class action.
Other mileage not reported 3 mo in service
Kia connect safety services are not available in Massachusetts due to Kia not complying with the right to repair law. When in an accident emergency services are not called and this poses a big safety threat as there is a delay to services arriving to help in the case of an accident. Kia should be forced to separate the telematics service information from key emergency services capabilities so that this car and every Kia in Massachusetts has the equivalent safety capabilites to others
Other mileage not reported 3 mo in service
Within the first 1000 miles my windshield chipped. Now at 8000 miles, there is another crack. Seems to be a common issue with this vehicle that the windshield is soft and not durable.
Visibility / wipers mileage not reported 1 mo in service
Brand new 2024 Kia Telluride. Came outside this morning to see a nice crack across the drivers side of the windshield happen before my eyes when I turned on defrost and windshield wipers for the rain. I see this was a common problem with 2023 Kia's. Also after speaking to Service dept (Gay Kia, Dickinson, TX). I truly get the feeling this is still an issue. Biggest down side to this, is they tell me they cant even get me a 2024 telluride windshield right now. if you rub your finger across windshield you definitely can feel a extremely small chip feeling in the glass.
