This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated that the client's vehicle was parked in the driveway and turned off. While the client was reaching into the rear driver side seat area the vehicle began to erroneously roll backwards causing the rear door to making contact with the client and the client was knocked to the ground. The EMS was called to the scene and the client was transported to the hospital. A police report was taken at the scene. During the incident the client sustained an injured left leg, injured left side, neck and back injuries. The client also had suffered emotional distress due to the incident. The cause of the failure not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer was notified of the incident. The client was recently informed of the NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V214000(Power Train). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced that same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was unknown
Problem started 4-5 months ago and was very intermittent; about 2-3 occurences per month. Problem has become more frequent and become much more severe. When foot is on brake and just coming to stop, engine races to around 6000 rpm. Originally would return to normal rpm in a second or two. Most recent occurences were on Oct. 10 2023, problem manifested 9 times. At stop, engine raced to 6000 rpm and remained there. Some times returned to normal rpm after few seconds, other times shifting to neutral and back to drive caused rpm to normal; 3 times I had to turn off engine. Once when restarting, engine immediately raced back to 6000 rpm and I had to stop engine again. Problem is intermittent so dealer says cannot tackle problem until they can experience problem themselves despite my very detailed description. Vehicle is unsafe to drive. Fortunately so far problem occured with foot on brake pedal so instantly increased brake pressure prevented vehicle from lurching forward into an accident.
The contact owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated there was knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. There were no warning lights illuminated. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle felt as if it had shifted into neutral. The contact stated that the instrument panel failed to provide accurate information while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000.
Vehicle was parked on level ground in the garage with the transmission in park. Parking brake was not set. I returned home in a different vehicle and checked the clearance on the garage door prior to closing it. It was at this point that I noticed that the garage door (which was previously closed) would not be able to close without hitting the Telluride. The Telluride was not driven, moved, touched or occupied during this brief period. Somewhere between opening the garage door and parking my other vehicle, the Telluride rolled back 1-2 feet. I tried pushing it and confirmed it wouldn't move, but it would have been impossible for the garage door to have opened or closed with the Telluride in the current position. As the garage was closed just before I opened it, and there were not any scratches on the Telluride or garage door, there is no explanation other than the Telluride rolled back. Since that incident, we have been setting the parking brake (manually). I understand the EV6 has a recall for a similar issue. Seems like the Telluride may have a similar problem.

I brought my 2022 Kia Telluride with only 12 miles on it in February 12, 2022. Less than 4 months old and only 4177 miles and my transmission has gone out. The dealership I bought has had it for 20 days now. I am told my vehicle is not safe to drive so it has to at the dealership. I have contacted Kia Customer Service they are advising me that the transmission is on back order and not ETA for it.
I have owned my kia teuride for about 7 months and in those months I have had to bring the car to the dealer 3 separate times for a vibration problem. For each time car was in service for a few weeks. First was told I needed tires balanced and they balanced. 2nd time was told I needed a new driveshaft and they replaced. 3rd time wad told I needed a new awd coupler and it was replaced. I am a disabled father of 3 kids and cannot go back and forth to the dealer all the time when they tell me I can't have a rental car or loaner and then strand me at the dealer 14 miles away from my house. There has to be a better way to help people cause it seems that kia consumer affairs is not even helping
My new AWD 2022 Kia Telluride vibration/ humming at 65 mph and above from day 1. It-€™s been in service 5 times and they are not able to fix the problem. The dealership we bought it from didn-€™t even admit there is a problem so we had to take it to another dealership which actually admitted there is a problem. They just changed the drive shaft and rear differential and the problem is still there. It-€™s been in service longer than it-€™s been with me. Very frustrating.
