2020 KIA TELLURIDE Visibility/wiper Problems

Failed windshield Available for inspection Unexpectedly Cracked across full length of windshield Blocking view of road causes glare There is a 2020 model class action suit and many complaints

It took 8 months to repair the Recall #SC299B HALOGEN HEADLAMP-BOTH. Repair was done 04/03/2025, which appears to have not last long as high beam is low again and I am afraid to drive in early morning, dusk, or evening due to the timid, low bearing high beams. This is very unsettling as we have made three complaints due to negligence and lack of efficiency for recall repair, being in an accident due to not seeing a deer run across and we hit it, as well as, failed state inspection due to light issues (twice) that negatively impacted financial stability and job security as one driver has to have a clear safety inspection in order to work. Kia corporate has been contacted 6 times via email and called back to discuss ongoing issues, however, there does not appear to be any resolution and/or willingness to discuss ongoing issues with our car. It would be nice to discuss this matter and find a solution that alleviates hardship this recall (and apparent lack of fix as lights continue to be an issue) and Kia dealer/company has made. We would appreciate being bought out and/or provided reimbursements and buyout. Either way, we hope others do NOT face the ongoing stress and issues telluride has given us. It is not ideal or fair to continue being fearful of the safety and reliability of our car despite company’s “attempt” of fixing it.

Windshield suddenly has crack along mid passenger side.

Continues to have issues with dealership to remedy/correct recalls. Have waited for 60+ days since recall remedy was initiated in August 2024 Headlights continue to be a hazzard and due to this we had unfortunate incident of a deer running out and inability to see in the dusk of 6am due to lack of head lights. This has caused immense hardship regarding finances and maintaining a job as we are down one car and Kia has not offered and:or received all parts for any repairs of the recall. Advised if we attempted to fix one recall (power seat) then our “ticket will be closed and you will need to pay out of pocket for the headlights”. However this is not consistent or within the regulations of Recalls and good faith attempts. I have already contacted an attorney to pursue legal counsel. I feel KIA will need to apologize and really earn trust from all consumers as Telluride has been an issue to this day, even newer models. Attached is Allstate claim of the incident on 10/18/24 AND attachments reflecting recall announcements via postal and several follow up appointments since remedy was offered, however no action nor diligence made to correct recalls or follow up as appropriately with us to keep us updated about parts etc. .

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.

Driving vehicle at 45 mph on secondary road. Small object impacted near the top of the windshield driver side - presumably from passing car. Within 5-10 minutes a small (4") crack appeared. Within 1 hour the crack was about 6". Within 2.5 hours the crack had extended to about 18". Forty eight hours afterwards the crack has extended to ~24" horizontally at mid-windshield on the driver's side. Weather conditions were sunny, clear with temperatures in the low 70s.

One morning when I went to get into my car I noticed a large crack approximately 12in in length across my windshield. There had been no noticeable chips in the windshield prior and there was no sign of being hit of any kind. I took the car to be looked at by a family member in glass and he said the issue is a manufacturing issue and the glass is thin and unsafe. The dealer said they won’t replace because it isn’t in the date range involved in the class action lawsuit. Since this I have had several more chips and the crack now runs all the way across the glass and extends up and down

When trying to open the sunroof, the wind deflector broke and knocked the sunroof off its track. I had to remove the sunroof and get it back on the tracks to get it to close and prevent water from entering the vehicle from rain.

Tried to open sunroof and it tore itself apart and tore itself off of the tracks and now I can not close the sunroof

The side mirrors don’t fully retract, when the doors are locked or unlocked via the key fob nor depressing the lock/unlock button on the driver door. The side mirrors also stopped working as the driver walks near the vehicle with the key fob. This is a safety issue because when the side mirrors don’t fully release outwards, the driver cannot see vehicles approaching or passing.

Sunroof malfunction while opening. Loud snap sound then wouldn’t shut.

High beam lights do not work. It shows them on but they never turn on. We found out driving on a mountain road in NM that had no street lights. We had to slow down to 10 miles an hour because it was so dark and we couldn't see. It was scary and dangerous. We wouldn't have been able to react in time if a deer or other animal ran into the street. We looked it up and saw it was a known problem. We checked it numerous times, and it never worked. The driver's side window won't close all the way. It has a 1/2 in gap. The only way to get it to stay closed when we are not in the car is to hold the window lever up, turn off the car, and open the door. However, as soon as you start the vehicle, it drops down again. It also doesn't open all the way when you click the down level. It stops about a 1/2 inch left showing. This causes a lot of road noise that is very distracting and makes the safety features difficult to hear. The wire that holds and lowers the spare tire down won't go back up. We had to remove it because it would drag on the ground. We are unable to carry the spare, so we are at risk if we have a flat. We have not had any of these issues evaluated by the dealership. However, we do plan to.

Windshield cracks with minimal pressure. I have replaced 3 windshield within a year. The smallest rock causes chips that instantly spread.

Driving down the highway and notice a small chip in the windshield.We heard no impact noise while driving. It went from a micro chip to the attached picture in approx an hour. We are outraged because we just repaired our windshield last week from an unknown chip/crack that we came outside to one morning. It spread from the rear view mirror area to the passenger edge of the windshield in 2 days.

We came outside to a "L" shaped crack in the windshield starting in the blackened portion where the rear view mirror sits, coming down and turning toward the passenger side.

windshield cracked from camera mount outwards for no reason, no impact

My windshield cracked out of no where. My bright lights stopped working while driving home.

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

In the fall of 2022 my highbeams quit working. There’s no indication that anything is wrong, however, they just don’t turn on anymore. I’m left with only low beams. Changing the lightbulbs didn’t fix the problem.

Headlight Hi-beams stopped working and is very dangerous at night with a lot of wild animals where I live.

While driving the speed limit on I-285 near Atlanta, GA, something hit my windshield. It made a high pitched, popping sound and immediately made a small, star shaped chip on my windshield in my driver field of view. Within 1-2 minutes of the chip, it started spreading long lines throughout the windshield, all coming off the original star shaped chip.

I noticed a small crack in the windshield one day. The next day it grew longer. Then it split out on two sides. It appears to be growing rapidly and I need the windshield repaired. There is a Kia Telluride Good Faith repairs I would like to utilize for the repair/replacement.

We were driving down a road on San Juan Island on May 1, 2022 when a small pattern of radio cracks appeared in the middle of the front windshield. No collision of any kind occurred, and there was no evidence of road gravel damage. We did not hear any impact. There were no other vehicles in front of our vehicle when the cracks appeared. The weather was partly cloudy and the temperature was moderate. We are at a loss to explain the cracks. They interfere seriously with driver visibility and will definitely require the windshield to be replaced.

Got a small ding in the bottom right hand corner of the windshield which was barely visible when it happened. Although I heard the slight sound of something hitting the windshield there was no obvious damage like a smashed glass appearance. However parked the car in the garage and next day when I went out to the car there was a crack that went up the right side of the windshield and then went 1/2 way across vertically to stop just under the mirror. I have no choice but to replace the windshield. I've never seen a window crack like this from such minor damage. It clearly has to be defective.

We have repaired the windshield several times and replaced it, and even the new windshield is cracked with the smallest of pebbles. We have never had problems like this on our other vehicles. We have gone 15+ years without a windshield claim on insurance, and now we have ½ dozen on one car that is less than 2 years old.

WINDSHIELD: Vehicle sustained small rock chip to windshield while driving approx 25mph. Chip was on lower corner of passenger side. Small chip quickly turned into a crack and rapidly shot up and across to driver’s side of vehicle. Claim filed with insurance and sent to Safelite Auto Glass for repair. Been having issues after repair with both HU display and rain senors.

Windshield was repaired September 2020 after a rock chip spread immediately after impact. The recall covered the expense of that replacement. However, the new windshield has the same defect and another rock chip spread immediately and was quite large on impact March 2022. I was driving in a parking lot when it happened, so not a high enough speed to have the rock have much velocity to it. Kia needs to fix the issue when they have a recall, not replace it with the same issue.

Windshield keep getting chipped unnecessarily, I repaired it 3 times already and its being chipped 4th time. Called Kia and they told me to bring the car in to dealership for inspection and none of the dealership has any openings till 3 weeks later, and when i tell them to book appointment the call is dropped , all others are not picking up calls. called Kia Cerritos CA , Riverside CA.

This is the 2nd chip and 2nd crack in my windshield. My vehicle had 16500 miles on it. and is my 11th Kia. I have never had an issue with windshields before this car.

Since purchasing the vehicle new in May 2020 we have had to replace the windshield three times. On three separate occasions while driving down the interstate a small pebble hit the windshield, pitted it and the windshield immediately started to spider. In parking the vehicle in the garage out of the sun the crack continue to grow. In the short time we have had this car we have had Three new windshield that came from KIA. It has gotten to the point where I am scared to drive down the interstate- afraid that if I get close to any car that something will end up breaking the windshield. Once the windshield is cracked the car is basically not drivable because the crack just continues to grow.

While driving my wife had a small stone hit the windshield which caused a small pit and about an inch crack. When she got home, I inspected it and called and made an appointment for it to be repaired the next day. The suv was parked in the garage overnight and not driven. The next morning when I went to go to the repair place, I opened the door to the garage and found the one inch crack had grown to about 2 feet overnight. Not sure how that even happens

Notice windshield crack starting from behind mirror all the way approaching drivers view, just saw it, with no warning, no visible chips, had to look real close and feel for a chip, can see where it started and feel it slightly, never heard anything hit the windshield, but it sure did run fast. Didn't happen on the highway, noticed it when I made a stop and got back in the vehicle, I just had it serviced with a oil change, and they did have a card hanging on the mirror with vehicle number that the service department put on there

I was driving on the highway keeping a safe distance from a dump truck and 18 wheeler truck that were ahead of my vehicle. The dump truck sent a small stone towards my windshield which damaged the windshield on impact. The windshield was inspected by my insurance company which determined the windshield required replacement. This will be third time replacing the windshield in just over a year due to the same type of incident. My families safety was at risk due to the obstruction caused by the windshield cracking due to the impact of the small stone. No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to the incident.

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

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.

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.

Mileage: 35,000

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.

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.

Mileage: 13,654

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.

Mileage: 14,000

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.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING OUR TELLURIDE A SMALL ROCK WAS THROWN UP BY A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT CHIPPED OUR WINDSHIELD. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CHIP IN A WINDSHIELD BEFORE.

Mileage: 1,300

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...

Mileage: 10,000

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.

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. .

SMALL PEBBLE HIT WINDSHIELD OVER 6 MONTHS AGO AND IMMEDIATELY CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. MAKING IT HARD TO SEE. DIDN'T HAVE ANY TIME TO HAVE CHIP REPLACED, AGAIN CRACK SPREAD IMMEDIATELY. DRIVING DOWN A CITY ROAD AT 30 MILES PER HOUR. GOING ON LINE I NOTICED THAT KIA HAS HAD WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT COVERED BUT NOT FOR MY VEHICLE???? WHY NOT?? WINDSHIELD IS STILL INFERIOR TO ANY OTHER WINDSHIELD I HAVE HAD IN OTHER CARS. IS THIS A DESIGN FLAW THAT IS PUTTING TOO MUCH STRESS ON THE WINDSHIELD THUS CAUSING A SLIGHT CHIP TO CRACK IMMEDIATELY?

Mileage: 6,000

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.

Mileage: 14,500

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE A SMALL ROCK HIT THE TOP OF MY WINDSHIELD. THE NEXT MORNING I A CRACKED THAT SPREAD ACROSS MY PASSENGER SIDE. THE CRACK CONTINUE TO SPREAD OVER THE NEXT DAYS. NOW IT REACHES ALL THE WAY TO THE SIDE. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY KIA FOR ABOUT A 1 1/2 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD A ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD IN OTHER VEHICLES AND NEVER HAD A WINDSHIELD CRACK LIKE THIS. IT SUCKS BECAUSE I REALLY LIKE THE TELLURIDE. HOPE THEY MAKE A BETTER WINDSHIELD SOON OR A RECALL.

Mileage: 1,200

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.

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.

Mileage: 12,000

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.

Mileage: 5,000

WINDSHIELD IS CHIPPING EXTREMELY EASY DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING. WITHIN 2 MONTHS, THREE SIGNIFICANT CHIPS WITH ONE OF THEM CRACKING.

Mileage: 4,000

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.

Mileage: 21,600

WINDSHIELD HAS MANY CHIPS. IT SEEMS THAT MORE THAN OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. TELLURIDE ONLY HAS ABOUT 13,000 MILES AND I GET SPARKLES ON THE WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING IN THE SUM FROM ALL OF THE SMALL CHIPS. CAR ONLY DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY ON SELDOM TRIPS FROM LOS ALAMOS TO ALBUQUERQUE. I NOW SEE WHY THEY DO NOT COVER THE WINDSHIELD ON WARRANTY OR EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH I PURCHASED

Mileage: 13,000

ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE, MY WINDSHIELD CRACK FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I NOTICED A SMALL LINEAR CRACK ALONG THE CENTER BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AFTER IT BEING PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. WITHIN HOURS THE CRACK SPREAD ALONG THE ENTIRE GLASS. KIA REPAIRED IT UNDER THE GOOD FAITH WARRANTY BUT I HAD TO WAIT 3-4 WEEKS FOR A WINDSHIELD TO COME IN, HAVING TO DRIVE IT LIKE THAT IN THE MEANTIME. AFTER THEY REMOVED THE WINDSHIELD AND INSPECTED IT, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY KIND OF IMPACT MARK. ONE MONTH AFTER REPAIR, A VERY SMALL PIECE OF DEBRIS HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE I WAS DRIVING (APRX 40-45 MPH) AND CAUSED A SMALL CIRCULAR CHIP THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CURED WITH RESIN TO PREVENT IT FROM SPREADING. HOWEVER, WITHIN 15 MINUTES THE CHIP CONTINUED AND SPREAD IN 3 LINEAR CRACKS. BY THE NEXT DAY THE CRACK RAN ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD AND NOW THE WINDSHIELD HAS TO BE REPLACED, AGAIN. ASIDE FROM IT BEING ANNOYING AND COSTLY TO FIX, I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FEELING LIKE THE WINDSHIELD COULD COMPLETELY BREAK ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING.

Mileage: 3,200

10/25/2019-THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS HIT BY SOMETHING WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. I INSPECTED THE WINDSHIELD AND DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE. THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A LONG CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED KIA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED WITH A KIA REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD BY SAFELITE. THE COST OF REPAIR WAS $1,540.43. A CLAIM WAS MADE AND PAID BY MY INSURANCE CARRIER AIG. A FEW MONTHS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM KIA ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE PAID FOR BY KIA. I CONTACTED AIG AND LET THEM KNOW, BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, AIG HAS NOT MADE A REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. 8-10-2020 MY REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD WAS HIT BY A SMALL OBJECT WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THE WINDOW IMMEDIATELY DEVELOPED A CRACK THAT CONTINUED TO EXPAND AS I DROVE. THE BREAK HAPPENED YESTERDAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A KIA DEALERSHIP AND HAVE FILED A CLAIM. I AM WAITING FOR A DECISION AND A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD. IN THE MEANTIME THE CRACK IS CONTINUING TO GROW AND IS NOW 24' LONG AND GROWING. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT KIA IS GOING TO PAY TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD, BUT MY SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT KIA WOULD NOT PAY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL REPLACEMENTS. NOTE BOTH INCIDENTS HAPPEN ON THE WAY HOME FROM MY WEEKEND HOUSE ON US-59 NORTH.

Mileage: 26,000

I PURCHASED MY KIA TELLURIDE SX IN JUNE 2019. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 12K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. A FEW DAYS AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I CHANGED LANES WITH A SMALL CAR (HONDA CIVIC OR EQUIVALENT) ABOUT 5 OR MORE CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF ME. AS I COMPLETED MY LANE CHANGE, A PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE PASSENGER A-FRAME, ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY UP. THE PEBBLE MUST HAVE BEEN SMALL AS WE WERE ON THE MAIN LANES OF THE HIGHWAY, AND THERE WERE NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AROUND. THE PEBBLE MADE A SMALL IMPACT POINT, AND A NEAR-IMMEDIATE 6-8 INCH CRACK. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95F TO 100F. OVER THE NEXT 2 HOURS, THE CRACK GREW QUICKLY TO AROUND 30 INCHES ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD, TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE. IT HAS CONTINUED TO GROW A FEW INCHES A DAY, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN AND I SUSPECT THAT HOT OUTDOOR AIR TEMPERATURES INCREASE GROWTH. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL KIA DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND ALSO INFORMED THEM OF THE CORPORATE GUIDANCE SENT OUT FROM KIA IN NOVEMBER 2019 ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO PROVIDE GOODWILL REPLACEMENTS TO TELLURIDE OWNERS. THEY WERE AWARE OF THE GUIDANCE AND AGREED TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD AT NO CHARGE TO ME.

A FEW HIURS LATER WE WENT TO THE GARAGE AND ITNWAS A HUGE CRACK SPREAD ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THIS SEEMS LIKE A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH OTHERS AND WE WANT THIS REPORTED AS WELL. WE WERE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING SMALL HIT WINDSHIELD THE CRACK WAS ABOUT A NICKEL SIZE AND THEN BOOOM!

Mileage: 7,500

THE WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES AND HAS EXTENDED BEYOND REPAIR. THIS APPEARED TO HAPPEN DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE US ABOUT $800 TO REPAIR. THIS SEEMS LIKE A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH OTHERS AND WE WANT THIS REPORTED AS WELL.

Mileage: 3,000

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY - SMALL PEBBLE HIT WINDSHIELD WHICH CHIPPED THEN CRACKED VERY QUICKLY IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME PREVENTING REPAIR OF THE CHIP AND REQUIRING WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT.

Mileage: 3,500

THE WINDSHIELD HAS APPEARED TO CRACK FOR NO REASON. WE DID RECEIVE A LETTER FROM KIA SAYING THEY WOULD REPLACE IT BUT THEY NEED TO ACTUALLY RECALL THESE WINDSHIELDS IF THEY ARE HAVING SUCH AND ISSUE WITH THEM. I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 4 MONTHS. NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS BUT WE JUST NOTICED IT THIS WEEKEND.

Mileage: 7,500

I'VE HAD MY 2020 KIA TELLURIDE LESS THAN TWO WEEKS, GOT INTO THE CAR WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. NEVER HEARD A ROCK HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AT ANY TIME (I'M THE ONLY DRIVER), THE CRACK STARTED IN TOP CORNER ON PASSENGER SIDE AND TRAVELED ACROSS THE TOP HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD IN ABOUT 3 HOURS. HAD A 2014 SORENTO WITH 12 TO 14 ROCK CHIPS THAT NEVER SPREAD LIKE THIS.

Mileage: 720

WINDSHIELD RANDOMLY CRACKED WHILE PARKED.

Mileage: 5,400

LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED MY NEW KIA TELLURIDE, THE WINDSHIELD SUSTAINED A HIT FROM A SMALL ROCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THE ROCK HIT SOUND WAS LOUDER THAN WHEN THIS HAPPENED IN OTHER CARS I HAVE DRIVEN. IT WAS VERY LOUD. I COULD SEE THE HIT RIGHT AFTER ON MY WINDSHIELD AND COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. THE DIAMETER AND DEPTH OF THE HIT WERE SERIOUS. I TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO A GLASS REPAIR VENDOR PER GEICO. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE WINDSHIELD DAMAGE WAS A COMPOUND FRACTURE AND THAT I WOULD NEED AN ENTIRE NEW WINDSHIELD. THEN THE TECHNICIAN ASSIGNED TO WORK WITH ME TOLD ME TO GO WITH A PATCH FOR NOW BECAUSE HE COULD REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD AND THEN THIS MIGHT HAPPEN ALL OVER AGAIN IN A FEW MORE DAYS. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH A PATCH SINCE IT WAS FIXED SWEATING EVERY DAY THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS NOT GOING TO HOLD UP. NOT ONLY THIS, I HAVE QUESTIONED WHETHER OR NOT I CAN EVEN RUN THIS CAR THROUGH A CARWASH. I AM AFRAID OF ANY PRESSURE BEING PUT ON THE DAMAGED SPOT WILL MAKE THE HAIRLINE CRACKS GET LARGER BECAUSE THE PATCHED AREA ITSELF IS SHOWING SMALL HAIRLINE CRACKS COMING OUT FROM THE SIDES AND APPEARS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY AND THOSE OF MY PASSENGERS IF THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT GET FIXED. ALL OF THIS SAID, I AM ENCOURAGED THAT KIA IS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT BECAUSE THEY SENT ME A LETTER AND TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THAT THE WINDSHIELD WOULD BE REPLACED. I HAVE ONLY STARTED THIS PROCESS AND HOPE IT GOES WELL. I AM SAD TO BUY THE FIRST NEW CAR I HAVE OWNED IN A LONG TIME AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN EVEN BEFORE I HAVE MADE THE FIRST CAR PAYMENT. AGAIN, I AM ENCOURAGED THAT KIA IS STANDING BEHIND ITS BRAND AND PROACTIVELY OFFERING TO HELP TELLURIDE CUSTOMERS WITH THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS.

Mileage: 850

MY WINDSHIELD HAS TWO CRACKS IN THAT IMPAIRS VISIBILITY. IT WAS NOT HIT BY DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD. THE BOTH START FROM THE EDGE OF THE GLASS AND SPREAD ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND CAN HAVE IT REPLACED FOR 800.00!!!!!! I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO IT BEING A WIDESPREAD ISSUE.

Mileage: 13,000

WE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, LIKE GLASS BREAKING AS WE WERE DRIVING. THE NEXT DAY WE WENT TO OUR TELLURIDE AND FOUND THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED ALMOST HALFWAY ACROSS. THE CRACK STARTED IN THE UPPER CORNER, PASSENGER SIDE, AND TRAVELED DOWNWARD TOWARD THE CENTER. WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN DECEMBER. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE CRACK TRAVELED BUT WE HEARD THE NOISE WHILE DRIVING.

Mileage: 1,500

WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A RANDOM CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS HIT BY A SMALL ROCK CHIP WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY EX MODEL ARE SERIOUSLY DEFICIENT AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY DURING DRIVING IN LOW LIGHT AREA DURING TURNS. AT MY OWN EXPENSE I'VE PURCHASED LED BULBS, WHICH HAVE IMPROVED VISIBILITY AHEAD OF ME. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT IS BLOCKED BY THE PROJECTOR TYPE HOUSING FROM ILLUMINATING THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES OF THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. VISIBILITY DURING TURNS IS NON-EXISTENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

Mileage: 10

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HEARD THE SOUND OF SMALL PEBBLE HITTING THE WINDSHIELD. (I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING) THE CLOSEST CAR WAS TWO LANES AWAY AND MORE TO THE SIDE THAN IN FRONT. I DISCOVERED A DIME SIZE, STAR SHAPED, CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES TWO CRACKS WERE BRANCHING OUT FROM THE CHIP ABOUT 1/2" IN LENGTH. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE THE CHIP REPAIRED SO IT DID NOT SPREAD OUT FURTHER. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY MAKES AND MODELS OF VEHICLES IN 35 YEARS AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE EVEN WHEN HIT BY SOMETHING THAT WAS VISIBLY LARGER. THIS IS WHY I FELT I NEEDED TO VOICE MY COMPLAINT. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO AND THIS IS MAKING ME CONCERNED WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A WINDSHIELD THIS FRAGILE. I FEEL THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, I LOVED MY VEHICLE BUT NOW I WONDER IF I SHOULD KEEP IT. WHAT OTHER MATERIALS ARE INFERIOR? IS IT SAFE? WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I GET STUCK IN A MINOR HAIL STORM? IN MY OPINION, THERE IS NO WAY THIS WINDSHIELD COULD PASS ANY SAFETY TEST FOR STRENGTH OR IMPACT RESISTANCE. I JUST HOPE THAT MY COMPLAINT ALONG WITH THE OTHERS WILL SOON BE ENOUGH TO TRIGGER AN INVESTIGATION AND WE CAN GET A PROPER WINDSHIELD.

Mileage: 2,826

WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A SMALL PEBBLE HIT WINDSHIELD AND HAD IT REPAIRED IN 2 DAYS. THE NEXT ONE HAPPENED IN JANUARY, WENT TO GET IN VEHICLE AND HAD A CRACK RUNNING ACROSS WINDSHIELD FROM TOP OF GLASS BY REAR VIEW MIRROR TO UNDERNEATH REAR VIEW ON DRIVERS SIDE. IT IS STILL GOING ACROSS WINDSHIELD. COST TO REPAIR IS AROUND $900.00 PLUS HAVE TO TAKE BACK TO KIA DEALER AND GET VEHICLE CALIBRATED

Mileage: 4,500

A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THE WINDSHIELD EASILY CRACKED AND CHIPPED. IT HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED FOR $1200. I HAVE OWNED OTHER CARS BEFORE AND NEVER ENCOUNTERED SUCH A FRAGILE WINDSHIELD.

Mileage: 5,000

WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT ANY SIGN OF ANYTHING HITTING IT. MY WIFE WENT INTO THE STORE AND WHEN SHE RETURNED THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD STARTING ON THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER LEFT. NO RECOLLECTION OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD.

Mileage: 1,100

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60MPH A VERY SMALL PEBBLE HIT MY WINDSHIELD ON THE TOP RHS AND PUT A DIME SIZED HOLE IN THE WINDSHIELD COMING TO A POINT ON THE INSIDE MAKING A COMPLETE OPENING. IT IS NOW STARTING TO CRACK LIKE A SPIDERWEB. SAFELITE HAS REFUSED TO TOUCH IT AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL WEEKS TO GET A REPLACEMENT AND THE COST IS UPWARDS OF $750.00+. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, WHEN YOU PAY THIS MUCH FOR A VEHICLE AND YOU HAVE TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO OBTAIN A CHEAPLY MADE PRODUCT AND PAY A NOT SO CHEAP PRICE FOR IT. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HIGHWAY ROBBERY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDED I TURN THIS OVER TO MY CAR INSURANCE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MY INSURANCE PROVIDER, I LEARNED MY PREMIUM WILL INCREASE DUE TO HAVING TO FILE A CLAIM. SO, BASICALLY I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR A CHEAPLY MADE PRODUCT OR PAY AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY OVER WHO KNOWS HOW LONG FOR A CHEAPLY MADE PRODUCT. FROM LOOKING AT THE GROWING AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, THERE APPEARS TO BE A LEGITIMATE CAUSE FOR INVESTIGATION INTO THE PRODUCT KIA IS PUTTING INTO THEIR VEHICLES AND SELLING TO CONSUMERS. ADDITIONALLY, SHOULD SOMETHING SMALL COME THROUGH ONE OF THESE WINDSHIELDS AND INJURE A PERSON INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, I WOULD PRESUME THE AFFECTED INDIVIDUAL(S) WOULD HAVE A LEGITIMATE GROUND FOR A POTENTIAL LAWSUIT. THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS BEING FILED AGAINST KIA FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND FAILURE TO INVESTIGATE THIS MANY COMPLAINTS BY CONSUMERS IS RECKLESS.

Mileage: 8,200

I WAS DRIVING MY 2020 TELLURIDE ON A TWO LANE ROAD UNDER 45 MPH WITH NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND ONE CAR MUCH FURTHER UP THE ROAD. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING HIT MY WINDSHIELD OR COMING TOWARD ME. I HEARD A VERY LOUD CRACKING NOISE AND MY WINDSHIELD HAD A STARBURST CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE NEAR THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. WITHIN 20 MINUTES THE CRACK HAD STARTED TO SPREAD OUT SEVERAL INCHES ON EACH SIDE WITH ONE SIDE CRACKING ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE. THERE WAS NOT A CHIP ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GLASS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT IF SOMETHING VERY HARD LIKE A ROCK HAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF THAT COULD HAVE HIT THE GLASS WAS AN ACORN FALLING FROM A TREE ABOVE THE ROAD. AN ACORN SHOULD NOT CRACK A WINDSHIELD! THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 38 DEGREES AND I THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE CRACKING.

Mileage: 4,000

DRIVING ON A PUBLIC ROAD, ROCK HIT WINDSHIELD AT 15 MPH CRACKED WINDSHIELD, CRACK GROWS 1-2 INCHES EVERY HOUR REGARDLESS OF USE

WITHIN 6 DAYS OF PURCHASING MY KIA TELLURIDE, IT SUFFERED A SIGNIFICANT CHIP AND SMALL CRACKING ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. I DID NOT SEE ANY PEBBLES, ROCKS OR DEBRIS IN THE AREA, NOR DID I OBSERVE ANY PEBBLE ACTUALLY HIT THE CAR. I DID NOT OBSERVE ANY CARS OR TRUCKS AHEAD OF ME ON THE FREEWAY WITH ANY OPEN/UNCOVERED LOADS. IN FACT, I ONLY OBSERVED PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE TIMING OF THE CHIP/CRACK SEEMED TO COINCIDE GOING OVER A SMALL DIP ON THE HIGHWAY.

WINDSHIELD CRACK DRIVING ON HIGHWAY

Mileage: 3,200

I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY 2020 KIA TELLURIDE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING HOME I HEARD A LOUD SOUND THAT STARTLED ME AND MADE ME JUMP. I THEN NOTICED THAT MY WINDSHIELD HAD CRACKED LESS THAN AN HOUR INTO OWNING THE CAR. I WAS DRIVING 30 MPH WHICH ON A CITY STREET.

Mileage: 7,000

DRIVING DOWN THE 35 MPH PART OF HWY 130 YESTERDAY, A LONE CAR PASSED GOING THE OTHER DIRECTION. I HEARD A SMALL "SMACK" OF A SMALL ROCK HITTING MY WINDSHIED. I LOOKED AT IT 3 MINUTES LATER, AND IT WAS ABOUT THE SIZE OF A DIME. I RESUMED DRIVING AND ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. CAME OUT 1 HOUR LATER, AND THE CRACK HAD SPREAD BY 4-5 INCHES. TEMPERATURE WAS 65 DEGREES. THIS WINDSHIELD SEEMS EXTREMELY FRAGILE. NOW I'VE CALLED TO GET A REPLACEMENT - THEY ARE ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH DEALERS AND COST $750. WILL THE NEW ONES BE MORE DURABLE?

Mileage: 11,600

WINDSHIELD WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR AT ONLY 250 MILES. REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD TOOK 6 WEEKS. GLASS SEEMS TO BE THIN OR MORE PRONE TO DAMAGE. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON A TWO-LANE ROAD AND WAS HIT BY SOME SORT OF DEBRIS FROM A VEHICLE GOING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. DID NOT SEE THE DEBRIS BEFORE IT STRUCK THE WINDOW.

Mileage: 250

WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED IN TWO SEPARATE PLACES. MULTIPLE DINGS AND CHIPS FROM SMALL ROAD DEBRIS.

Mileage: 4,800

I HAD A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD FROM ROAD GRADING. IT WAS A NORMAL CHIP, NOT UNLIKE ANY THAT I HAVE HAD ON OTHER VEHICLES. I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT THE NEXT DAY TO HAVE IT FILLED TO PREVENT SPREADING. LEAVING WORK THE NEXT DAY, THE WINDSHIELD HAD ACTUALLY CRACKED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND TO THE LEFT, IN AN L SHAPE. SO, MY CHIP REPAIR BECAME A FULL WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING 3+ WEEKS FOR A REPLACEMENT AS THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE. MY AUTO GLASS PLACE HAS HAD ONE ON ORDER FROM OVERSEAS SINCE THAT NEXT DAY. SO, 4-6 WEEKS TO REPLACE A WINDSHIELD THAT TRULY SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN AS THE CHIP WAS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER CHIP WE GET IN VEHICLES. I ACTUALLY TRIED TO HAVE THE REPLACEMENT DONE BY MY KIA DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE WERE NONE AVAILABLE IN THE US AND GOOD LUCK FINDING ONE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP. WHEN I CALLED TODAY TO INQUIRE ABOUT HAVING THE CAMERAS RE CALIBRATED POST THE REPLACEMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT IF A NON-KIA APPROVED WINDSHIELD IS PUT IN, I WOULD VOID MY WARRANTY. SO, BEYOND WAITING WEEKS ON END TO HAVE A BROKEN WINDSHIELD REPLACED, BEING TOLD 'GOOD LUCK' FINDING ONE AND TOO BAD, THEY CAN'T HELP ME, I AM NOW BEING TOLD I "MAY" HAVE MY WARRANTY VOIDED HAVING IT REPLACED ELSEWHERE, EVEN THOUGH THEY REFUSED TO ASSIST.

Mileage: 7,000

AFTER JUST 6 WEEKS WEEKS OF OWNING THE CAR WE NOTICED AN 18 INCH CRACK IN WINDSCREEN, STARTING FROM THE TOP AND TRACKING DOWN. NO HISTORY OF ROCK STRIKES OR TRAUMA TO WINDSCREEN.

Mileage: 2,000

WHILE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH THE TOP RIGHT SIDE OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS STRUCK BY A SMALL PEBBLE. THE WINDSHIELD SHOWED A DIME SIZE CRACK WITH SEVERAL SPIDER CRACKS NO LONGER THAN QUARTER OF AN INCH. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE ALL NIGHT THE FOLLOWING DAY ONE OF THE SPIDER CRACKS HAD GROWN TO ABOUT 3 INCHES.

Mileage: 8,780

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE UNDER 2000 MILES, THE VEHICLES WINDSHIELD HAS RECEIVED THREE CHIPS AND SEEMS TO BE WEAK (THIN) GLASS. I'M AFRAID IF STRUCK WHILE DRIVING WITH AN OBJECT OTHER THAN A SMALL PEBBLE IT'LL FAIL AND PLACE MY FAMILIES LIFE IN DANGER. THE WIPER SPRAYER ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WHEN DRIVING FAILS TO SPRAY OVER THE DRIVERS VIEW. IT POOLS AT THE LOWER PART OF THE WIPER BLADE AND LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THE WINDOW AT ROAD AND HWY SPEEDS. THIS CAUSES EXCESS AMOUNTS OF FLUID TO BE SPRAYED IN ORDER TO CLEAN THE WINDOW. THE CHIPS ON THE WINDOW ARE SMALL AND TWO ARE IN THE DRIVERS VIEW. I'VE HAD THE SPRAY TIP REPLACED AT THE DEALER BUT IT CONTINUES THE SAME PATTERN.

Mileage: 1,750

SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD FROM A PASSING CAR ON THE HIGHWAY CAUSED A CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD, WHEN SAFELITE TRIED TO REPAIR IT, IT CRACK. SERVICE TECH SAID THAT IT IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ON A SMALL CHIP LIKE THIS ONE.

Mileage: 5,000

ON JULY 4 I NOTICE A CHIP ON RIGHT OF WINDSHIELD WITHOUT NOTICING ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD AS I WAS DRIVING. THREE DAYS LATER IT BECAME A CRACK WITHOUT TOUCHING AND IN A WEEK THE CRACK REACH DRIVER SIDE. WINDSHIELD STILL ON BACKORDER. I REPORTED TO KIA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SOMEBODY ON NHTSA CALL ME AND TOLD ME THAT CRACK CAN HAPPEN THAT IF I PUT A NEW WINDSHIELD AND SAME THING HAPPENS IN LESS THAN 3 MONTH THEN THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. THIS WINDSHIELDS ARE NOT CHEAP AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A WINDSHIELD BRAKING SO FAST BEFORE IN LESS THAN 3 MONTH OF PURCHASE.

Mileage: 4,000

WHILE DRIVING MY 2020 TELLURIDE I HEARD AN ODD SOUND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A SMALL CRACK DEVELOPING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. IT STARTED FROM ABOUT MIDWAY HEADING HORIZONTALLY AND THEN MADE A CURVE UPWARD AS I DROVE. THE CRACK IS AT LEAST 18 INCHES LONG. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE OR MARKINGS OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD NOR DID I NOTICE ANYTHING STRIKE THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK ORIGINATES UNDERNEATH THE MOLDING AND APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT. WHEN THE CRACK STARTED I WAS TRAVELING ON A CITY STREET AT AROUND 30 MILES AN HOUR WITH NO TRAFFIC AROUND.

Mileage: 4,000

THREE DAYS AFTER WE PURCHASED A 2020 TELLURIDE I FOUND A CRACKED IN THE BOTTOM CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. I COULDN'T FIND ANY CHIP THAT MIGHT HAVE STARTED THE CRACK, IT JUST APPEARED THE NEXT MORNING . THE CAR WAS PARKED UNDER THE CARPORT SO NOTHING COULD HAVE FALLEN ON THE WINDSHIELD. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL, INSURANCE HAD TO PAY. SAFELITE AUTO GLASS HAD TO WAIT EIGHT WEEKS FOR KIA TO SHIP A NEW WINDSHIELD. I ASKED THE INSTALLER TO LOOK AT THE CRACK AREA AND SEE IF HE COULD FIND A CAUSE THAT WOULD START THIS CRACK. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT ANY ROCK OR FOREIGN OBJECT STRIKE WILL LEAVE AN INDENTATION WITH SOME SPIDER MARKS, HE FOUND NONE? HIS PROGNOSIS WAS, IT WAS STRUCK ON THE BOTTOM EDGE WHEN ASSEMBLED AND CLOSING THE DOOR HARD WOULD FLEX THE WINDSHIELD AND THAT STARTED THE CRACK. IT HAS BEEN ONE MONTH AND I ALREADY HAVE ANOTHER SMALL CHIP. I HAVE REPLACED ONE WINDSHIELD IN FORTY SOMETHING YEARS, DOESN'T VERY LOOK GOOD FOR TELLURIDE OWNERS, SOMETHING IS WRONG?

Mileage: 556

WINDSHIELD STRUCK (MINOR WITH MINIMAL DEPTH PENETRATION) BY MATERIAL RUNNING ON INTERSTATE. WITHIN 15 MINUTES, CRACK BEGAN AND WAS OVER 16". VEHICLE PARKED FOR 8 DAYS. WINDSHIELD HAS CRACK OVER 3' LONG NOW. WINDSHIELD STAR SHOULD'VE BEEN QUICK EASY FIX INSTEAD THE WINDSHIELD IS EITHER FAULTY OR INSTALLED IN BIND.

Mileage: 492

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING MAYBE 45 MPH, SOMETHING FLEW UP AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING A LARGE CHIP AND SPIDERWEB TO FORM IMMEDIATELY. WHATEVER HIT THE WINDSHIELD WAS SO SMALL I NEVER SAW IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED PLENTY OF OTHER TIMES IN OTHER VEHICLES WITHOUT CAUSING ANY DAMAGE.

DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, I NOTICED A TINY CRACK COMING DOWN FROM THE TOP OF MY WINDSHIELD. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME (10 MINUTES), IT WAS SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRETY OF MY WINDSHIELD. I'BE BEEN WAITING SINCE JUNE FOR A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD.

Mileage: 700

I PURCHASED THE 2020 KIA TELLURIDE ON 04102019. ON 050319 A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DRIVERS VIEW. I WAS ON AN INTERSTATE TRAVELING 65 MPH. THE WINDSHIELD HAD A DEEP CHIP AND IT SPIDERWEBBED OUT. THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. ON 09072019 I GOT INTO MY KIA AND ON THE PASSENGER SIDE A LARGE CRACK IS VISIBLE FROM THE A PILLAR ABOUT 10 INCHES LONG. I NEVER HEARD OR SAW ANYTHING HOT THE WINDSHIELD. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. IT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

Mileage: 1,000

THIS IS MY SECOND REPORT. MY WINDSHIELD ON MY 2020 KIA TELLURIDE IS CRACKED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT'S ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT'S A LONG CRACK THAT STARTS AT THE A PILLAR AND TRAVELS ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE I SAW THE CRACK. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I NEVER SAW OR HEARD ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD THIS TIME. IT COST 1500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR IT LAST TIME, WHICH WAS FOUR MONTHS AGO.ITS GOING TO GET EXPENSIVE IF THIS KEEPS UP. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS OCCURRED.

Mileage: 12,000

IT SEEMS AS IF THE WINDSHIELDS ON THE KIA TELLURIDE ARE SUB PAR. THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF CRACKED WINDSHIELDS WITH THIS VERY NEW CAR, MORE THAN AVERAGE. MY OWN WINDSHIELD OBTAINED A STARBURST CRACK RIGHT IN THE LINE OF VISION FOR THE DRIVER. BEING IN ALASKA, I EXPECT THIS TO QUICKLY SPREAD. WE HEARD A SMALL TAP PRIOR TO THE WINDSHIELD CRACKING WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. MAYBE SOMETHING TO LOOK INTO.

Mileage: 9,000

AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR JUST TWO MONTHS, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY A SMALL PARTICLE STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD AND MADE A CHIP THE SIZE OF A NICKEL. A FEW MILES DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED MAKING A CRACK THAT IS SPIDERING THE SIZE OF A HALF DOLLAR. SPOKE WITH THE KIA DEALER TO REPORT THE ISSUE. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY WINDSHIELD RECALLS AT THIS TIME.

Mileage: 7,000

CRACKED WINDSHIELD. A PEBBLE HIT TO WINDSHIELD JUST BELOW THE FRONT FACING CAMERA AT 75 MPH SPEED. NO IMMEDIATE CRACK, ONLY CHIP. CAR PARKED OUTSIDE AT TEXAS HEAT (+100F) AND CRACK SPREAD ALMOST THROUGH WINDSHIELD WITHIN 48 H.

Mileage: 770

FIRST ROADTRIP IN VEHICLE NOTICED A TINY CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER WHILE REFUELING. I DO NOT RECALL HEARING OR SEEING ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. REACHED DESTINATION AND THE NEXT MORNING I WALKED OUT TO MY VEHICLE TO FIND A CRACK FROM THE TINY CHIP LOCATION ALL THE WAY TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I AM TOLD WINDSHIELD FOR THIS VEHICLE IS ON BACKORDER AND HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A MONTH FOR A REPLACEMENT. CURRENT ESTIMATE FOR REPLACEMENT IS SECOND WEEK IN SEPTEMBER.

Mileage: 4,200

VEHICLE IS 3 WEEKS OLD AND NEXT WEEK WE'LL BE HAVING THE 3RD WINDSHIELD INSTALLED. THE ORIGINAL AND FIRST REPLACEMENT WERE DAMAGED BY ROCKS BEING THROWN UP BY SEMI TRUCKS WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. PREVIOUSLY OWNED A KIA SORENTO AND HAD A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD INSTALLED AND HAD 3 ROCK CHIPS ON THE REPLACEMENT WHEN IT WAS TRADED FOR THE TELLURIDE. SEEMS AS IF THE KIA WINDSHIELDS ARE SOMEHOW INFERIOR.

Mileage: 786

CHIP AND CRACK IN WINDSHIELD. UNSURE WHEN IT OCCURRED, BUT I NEVER HEARD SOMETHING HIT WINDSHIELD. MOST LIKELY IT HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS PARKED IN PARKING LOT.

Mileage: 1,700

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND DID NOT EVEN HEAR OR SEE ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD. IF IT DID IT WAS MINOR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE OF A CRACK THAT SPREAD ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE DRIVEN A 2018 FORD EXPLORER , 2016 GMC YUKON, AND 2019 GMC ACADIA WHEN SOMETHING HAD HIT THE WINDSHIELD THAT CAN BE SEEN AND HEARD WITH BARELY ANY DAMAGE OR DAMAGE THAT IS SIMPLY FILLED/SEALED. PLEASE REVIEW TO SEE IF OTHER COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO THIS ARE IN THE DATABASE FOR THIS NEW ENTRY 2020 KIA TELLURIDE. I LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE BUT THIS. THEY ALSO STATED IT WOULD BE 2-8 WEEKS BEFORE A WINDSHIELD WILL BE AVAILABLE TO INSTALL FROM KIA.

Mileage: 5,200

WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON DAY 1 BEFORE EVEN TAKING DELIVERY OF CAR. NOT A SAFE WINDSHIELD TO DRIVE WITH.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY TODAY, A SMALL ROCK CAME UP AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD. IT WAS VERY SMALL AND SHOULD NOT HAVE DAMAGED MY WINDSHIELD. I ENDED UP WITH A LARGE CRACK IN MY WINDSHIELD.

Mileage: 4,000

HAD VEHICLE LESS THEN A MONTH AND NOTICED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. NEVER HEARD ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD, CRACK JUST SHOWED UP.

Mileage: 1,200

SMALL PEBBLE HIT CAR WINDSHEILD ON TOP LEFT CORNER. PLANNING ON PULLING OVER TO ACCESS SITUATION. THEN NOTICE A CRACK THAT WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL IT REACHED THE REVIEW MIRROR. I CALLED KIA CORPORATE TO REPORT AND THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE 2020 TELLURIDE ARE HAVING WINDSHIELD CRACKING PROBLEMS BUT WILL NOT REPAIR IF CAUSED BY PEBBLE. ONLY IF STRESS CRACK. I HAVE HEARD OF TO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE 2020 TELLURIDE WINDSHIELD AND THINK THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE ISSUE FURTHER FOR SAFETY REASONS.

I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE GLASS QUALITY/DESIGN. IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS (5/13/19) MY RIGHT PASSENGER WINDOW CRACKED. I DID HEAR A VERY SLIGHT SOUND (LIKE A WATER BOTTLE EXPANDING) BUT DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. WITHIN AN HOUR, THE CRACK OCCURRED. THERE WAS A VERY SMALL 'DING' BUT CONTINUED TO BREAK. I REPAIRED IT WITH MY INSURANCE. ON 7/16 I PARKED AT WORK AS USUAL. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR, MY FRONT WINDSHIELD HAD A 6-7 INCH CRACK. I COULD NOT SEE AN IMPACT SITE. THE CRACK IS UP AROUND 10 HIGH AND NOW SPLITTING TO THE LEFT ACROSS. WE WERE ABLE TO SEE WHAT AMOUNTS TO A 'SCRATCH' TO THE TOUCH. IT IS NO LARGER THAN THE TIP OF A SHARP PENCIL. I UNDERSTAND DEBRIS HITTING GLASS MAY RENDER A CRACK, BUT TO THIS DEGREE SEEMS TO BE A BIGGER ISSUE I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE QUALITY AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I HAVE HAD THESE TWO ISSUES WITH VERY LITTLE IMPACT TO THE GLASS. IN PREVIOUS CARS I HAVE HAD HUGE ROCKS HIT AND ENDED UP WITH SCRATCHED/DINGED GLASS. WITHOUT SHATTERS, CRACKS. I RESEARCHED MANY WEBSITES AND DEALERS AND I AM SEEING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

Mileage: 2,400

WE BOUGHT OUR 2020 KIA TELLURIDE 7-3-2019 & ON 7-11-2019 OUR WINDSHIELD BROKE FROM A SMALL ROCK WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH TODAY FROM A PASSING CAR. I HAVE HEARD OF 100S OF OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THESE INFERIOR WINDSHIELD WINDOWS WITH POOR UNSAFE PRODUCTION.
