    New Hampshire

    I saw a white Telluride via rear view mirror near St Johnsbury VT yesterday. I think it had MA plate. I wanted to slow down to say hi.

    Just achieved best mpg ever on my vacation trip to Quebec City. 28.4 mpg with about 95% highway miles on economy mode according to onboard computer. I typically get 20mpg in my daily commute in economy.

    How's everyone ventilated seats holding up?

    I also thought the air to be not as cold, but then, weather has been much warmer lately. Does everyone find vent to be just as cold after a/c running for a while?

    Real World MPG #'s

    I'm in Vermont so I deal with same up and down terrain and similar mpg. I stopped experimenting different modes not long ago and have it always on eco mode now. I find acceleration in eco mode is reasonable. I'll be in slow mode more often then not in the winter as I'm sure you'll be too.

    Kia Telluride Issues

    The only real issue I experienced is rattling center console lid. Luckily it was replaced using warranty service. The service manager apologized for longer than expected repair time saying that it wasn't a simple as popping off the lid. I guess they had to take the console box out in its...

    Who disables Auto Start-Stop when they drive?

    I was consistently getting engine shutoff at the badging area into my work. Someone had pointed out that if you stop the vehicle lightly without firm pressure, it does not engage the auto off. So the inconsistency you observed in auto on/off was due to how lightly you engaged the brake. You...

    Real World MPG #'s

    Guyon, I noticed I was getting about 2mpg less in comfort mode. Eco mode will give you better mpg. I really can't notice any difference between comfort and eco mode, so I see no reason to be in comfort mode for less mpg.

    EX Vibrating

    It could be as simple as loose lug nuts. I've had same problem driving down interstate last winter. Vehicle started vibrating beyond 50mph. I pulled over and checked the lug nuts on all of my wheels. One of the tires had loose lug nuts and vibration ended right after tightening them up.

    Anyone else moved to the Telluride from a minivan?

    Moved from 2005 Sienna 7-seater to EX so I gained a seat. Vertical storage space is reduced but am happy with the decision

    Does automatic braking work when cruise control is off?

    The steering wheel vibrated like crazy when I was going too fast and car in front of me was making very slow right turn. I was going to shift over to straddle the center lane to avoid him/her, but I think that's the only alert I got. No auto-steering or auto-brake to avoid collision.

    Consumer Reports gave the Kia Telluride an Overall Score of 90

    Do they apply same standard on manufacturers known to produce reliable cars i.e. Honda or Toyota? Such as new 2019 Rav4?

    Has anyone installed front camera in their LX, S, EX to assist with parking?

    That would be a bummer. External monitor would be tacky.

    Has anyone installed front camera in their LX, S, EX to assist with parking?

    I love the backup camera on my EX but I'm always nervous trying to park moving forward when there's another car or structure ahead. My Rav4 doesn't have front camera but it has front parking sensor. Has anyone installed a front camera to help with the parking? Which brand? Any helpful online...

    Real World MPG #'s

    Your highway commute must be mostly flat. Here in VT, we're lucky to get 24. Looking forward to next week when I travel to Boston to pick up my in-laws to see what mpg I can squeeze out.

    Kia Telluride Vehicle Maintenance Milestones

    Kia Optima forum's security guy advised, "Just continue to change your oil and filters when required and save any major services for 30K miles. These 7500 mile and 15k mile services are only a way for your dealer to make huge profits. They are totally unnecessary and a big waste of your hard...

    Kia Telluride Vehicle Maintenance Milestones

    Is maintainance milestone services requirement for warranty coverage? And why do we need to change climate control air filter at ever 7500miles? Shouldn't it be as needed?
