    Question for anyone that has placed an order for the Telluride.....

    They did not take an order, but they put you on a queue. They assumed they would get one that was a close match to your order some time in the next 30 days. When that did not happen, they assumed 90 days. When that failed and they figured it was too late to order from the factory, they canceled...

    Consumer Reports gave the Kia Telluride an Overall Score of 90

    The Ascent started out with a 93 with a 3 in reliability and 4 in owner satisfaction. They do update as the release goes by. Given the scores I think the telluride, if kia does not mess up too bad, will top out a 96 or 97.

    Hackers can steal cars now with ease

    Well almost true. If anyone wants your car bad enough they will take it. and there is no standard for the auto companies to meet. But in the last 10 years, the companies have been hardening their systems enough to stop low level fruits like the video. The problem is simple, if you have enough...

    My battery died after only two weeks

    About 7% of car batteries will die with in the first 6 months because of factory defects. The number is also getting worst, up about 1% from just a year ago. With limited world lead and more regulations, we are seeing batteries not last.

    Which one do I choose? [Telluride vs. SantaFe vs. 4Runner]

    How many people? If 2 or less and light luggage, then the santa fe. If two or more, then the telluride. The telluride is more room with less gas milage. Santa fe is more gas milage less room. 4 runner is not comfortable for long driving. If you make it better on road, you make it worst off...

    Who has road rage issues?

    I don't really get mad while driving. I never really understood why anyone would get mad at human behavior. They are just poor dumb humans, they really do try but can not be trusted, because they are just humans. Now I will put out a dark cloud of profanity if the car does not start. Me and...

    dash and cruse shutting off while driving

    Could be a loose or broken harness. With any first model runs there are going to be problems like this. PS. Don't drive if your dash board cuts down. Pull over and get a tow.

    Elbow dents on window sill already??

    The foam underneath gets heated sticks together then cooled by your arm. If you take it in, the dealer would run a hot air gun over it, but in the real world, the next really hot day and it should expand again. If it does not, then it is a quality control issue and you need to take it in. But...

    Kia Telluride Issues

    Well to be honest, the Subura Ascent was destroying transmissions, dropping turbos, and dead batteries 2 months in. 8 pages of annoying but minor problems is pretty good.

    Anyone opted for Side Step?

    To each there own. I have to get up and down really bad roads, not off road but anything lower then 6 inches will get ripped off.

    Side steps will lower ground clearance. As much as 2 inches.

    Differences between AWD Eco, Comfort, and Sport modes

    I think that is how it used to work. I know for a fact it does not work this way now. During the test drive, I put it into eco mode and it put power into the front wheels but still delivered power to the rear. During start it delivered a lot of power to the rear.

    Why is a Telluride refereed to as a CUV and not SUV in most articles?

    As far as I can tell, it is what marketing whats it to be. http://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id80000002/ Lexus LX 450 is build body on frame but the name literally means Luxury crossover X. If they want to sell it to the men, they call it an...

    Am I a bad parent for not letting my kids eat in the Telluride?

    You are a horrible, horrible parent. Should be put on the rack. Call child protective services, the lady will not let her children ruin her car. I am sure the FBI and CIA will be knocking to take those little angels into protective custody. For you, young lady, I hope the toss the book at you...
