In 2020, Kia introduced the Telluride SUV to rave reviews and strong sales, particularly in California. Its spacious interior, well-equipped features, towing capacity, reasonable price, and 100,000-mile limited warranty made it a popular choice for families. However, many Kia Telluride owners are experiencing issues that require warranty repairs.
These problems range from delayed transmission engagement and excessive vibration to sunroof malfunctions and safety recalls, including a significant issue causing unintended vehicle movement while parked.
