    Who disables Auto Start-Stop when they drive?

    Right. Some say the first thing they do after starting their car is to turn off auto start-stop and engage auto-hold. I'm starting to get used to slight lag in throttle response from auto start-stop, but I just cannot handle the added delay in acceleration from engaging the auto-hold. I end...

    What phone mounts are you using on the Telluride?

    That is too bad. I love the flush mounting of the magnetic phone mount and the one that I got actually came with two mounts, one for me and one for wifey. My old iPhone 6S don't care, but my wife's iPhone 8 no longer charges with the built in Qi.

    Did your dealer offer a free first oil change?

    That's right, you end up paying 2 sales tax right? A local and state tax and neither are low!

    Who disables Auto Start-Stop when they drive?

    @DKiaGuy and @ucinn , thank you both for your sharing your knowledge, thoughts and input. I think both of your points are valid and just like shutter in DSLR, if may be rated to last 200K shutters, but some are unlucky and some go beyond the rated number. At the end, I guess it comes down to...

    Did your dealer offer a free first oil change?

    No, but they had $130 special for 3 oil changes and 3 tire rotations. Also, free Vermont state inspection for my Kia and all other cars in my household (only other vehicle I own is 2018 Rav4 Hybrid). $35-$50 for state inspection per car every year it can be pretty costly, so I'm pretty happy...

    My wife's iphone 8 stopped charging after installing the metal plate in the back of the phone. :(

    Do we get complimentary loaners during dealer services?

    My dealer said I can take shuttle or rent their car for a day. No free loaner.

    Who disables Auto Start-Stop when they drive?

    How would this feature affect the life of your starter? I don't think my wife's Rav4 Hybrid has a starter even though its doing it constantly, so it's no issue there.

    Anyone else received a call from Kia requesting to bring the car in?

    I didn't get a call, but I did go in to get underbody rustproofing, tow hitch and cross bar installation. I asked to check for recall and they said no recall associated with my VIN number.

    Anyone else noticed you get much better MPG while using cruise control?

    I live in mostly rural setting rather than city. Perhaps I'm not used to this and may take some time to optimize my experience with efficient use of cruise control, but I'm getting worse mpg than I would normally get w/out cruise control. Perhaps if you could get in to finer details about...

    What did you trade in for the Telluride?

    2005 Sienna. Too afraid it will fail on us during long distance trips this summer.

    Is it worth it to clay bar a brand new car before waxing?

    I just washed and waxed my '18 Rav4 and my Telly this morning. I did not have clay bar in hand and my wife's 1 y/o Rav4 had black and orange speckles. I kicked myself for not ordering clay bars, but I wanted to proceed. I did have rubbing compound in hand, so I did remove most of them. I...

    Who allows dealers to do complimentary car washes on Telluride?

    I did not find any micro scatches, however, the underbody rust protection they applied had micro contamination of droplets along the passenger side of the car. Not a happy camper. :devilish:

    Who allows dealers to do complimentary car washes on Telluride?

    I consider it as a good service. Are there concern for scratches?
