While this car attracted me based on all the tech offered (i had the fully loaded X-line) I regret the purchase and got rid of it about 18 months after purchasing new (drove it only 18,000 miles). In that time I had to turn into body shop because the driver door was rubbing against the front quarter panel and wasn't properly aligned on the production line. Then 2 recalls - one for seat adjustment motor spontaneously combusting (and a warning to not park the car in your garage until fixed) and the other for the cars slipping out of park and rolling away (warning to engage emergency brake until fixed). Then all the exterior trim fell off all around the windows on each side (front and second row) and trim around the back gate. THEN interior trim started falling off - plastic box behind rear view mirror on windshield fell off and the triangular interior piece of trim on the drivers window fell off. Car did not easily pick up on key fob when in proximity to car. Gas mileage sucked at 15-16 mpg. Road noise was awful - people on the phone with me could hear all the bumps through the car phone - loud and awful. Positives? More tech offered than Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander when purchased in late 2023 - heads up display, 2nd row heated and ventilated seats, driver seat leg extender, valet mode, etc. Roomy 3rd row. Leather interior was nice. Never experienced these problems with a Toyota or a Honda especially in the first 18 months - will never buy a KIA again. Dumped it and bought a 2025 Honda Pilot and couldn't be happier!

I heavily regret having purchased a 2024 Telluride. Its rating as number one SUV is baloney. I should have read the preceding customer feedbacks before buying this big lemon. Within 50K miles the front passenger side trimming came loose and was flapping that I have to remove it. Replacement didn’t arrive until after 6 months. It took 3 visits within 1 year for them to finally diagnose that the worsening rattle was from a rear shock absorber. I was charged $40 for inflating a low pressure tire. At 14k miles the engine symbol lit up which took 7 working days to diagnose and “fix”. Since the waiting time for a loaner car was 5 weeks (!), quite revealing, I had to rent a car out of pocket. After a few more miles of driving, the orange engine sign lit up again within about a month. It’s been 2 weeks now and the lemon is still ripening in their shop! For what it’s worth they managed to find a loaner for me this time, thank you very much. MN

There was a recall on the outside window trim for the 2024 Kiatelluride. All of the outside trims have fallen off of 3 windows. The first trim was put on fairly fast. The other two trims on the front 2 doors have been off since October of 2024. I had to bring my vehicle in and leave it. It was there for 4 hours and they called me to pick it up and nothing was done. They are 5,000 parts behind. One blew off on the passenger front driving down the road and the other I took off because I was afraid it would fly off and hit another vehicle. I contacted KIA corporation and she told me they were behind on production. Really, I've been waiting since October without window trim on 2 vehicles. There isn't any reason that it's taken this long to get those parts. Kia is only concerned with selling new cars and forget about the ones already sold. Ive had more than one person notice the trim being missing. They said they thought KIA was a great vehicle but having a problem on that expensive a car and the time its taken to resolve it, they will buy another vehicle. So, Kia has lost at leave 3 sales because of my issues. This is the most expensive vehicle I've owned. We've owned Plymouths, Chevys, Toyotas and Fords, none of those vehicles have had a problem like this. Patricia Stackler
