    Anyone else being turned off by greedy dealers?

    Legislation??? Price gouging is marking up generators and building supplies after a hurricane. 10 K over MSRP might be greed but that's capitalism. LOTS of other dealers/ car company's will be happy to get your business. The government has other more pressing issues to deal with than greedy Kia...

    Fuel and Oil Choices

    The Telluride GDI uses the Atkinson Cycle....the intake valve remains open for the first 1/3rd of the compression stroke pushing gas back over the intake valve and into the intake. Using top tier gas should be all that's required to prevent buildup.

    2021 Details (For those of us who are still waiting and wondering if its still worth the wait for a 2020 model)

    I guess I have a unique perspective....I traded a 2019 Ascent Premium for the Telluride. Stupid from a $$ lost standpoint yup, but The Telluride was not available when I got the Ascent so thought I'd trade if I liked the Telluride.. My observations: The Ascent looks like a Subaru, its bland and...

    Windshield has nothing to do with those sensors....

    noise after starting

    That's so odd...almost sounds like an anti theft alarm.

    Catch cans

    If I'm clear on my understanding of the GDI Atkinson cycle engine, the intake valve remains open for about 1/3rd of the compression stroke, thereby pushing an air fuel mixture back over the intake valve and into the intake. This should allow for detergent additives to do their job, hence the...

    Interior color change?

    My EX Moss/black headliner is grey too....mid April delivery. Not down with a black headliner either. Maybe its just the way the photo color shows on the build page.

    Is there really a problem with the windshields on the Telluride?

    If you live in the Desert Southwest there are two certainties: when it actually does rain you realize your wiper blades are trashed, even though they were fine the last time you used them 8 months ago. The chance of a windshield rock impact/crack in a given year is 100%. Minor windshield repair...

    Can you get 1.9% at 60 months with the $1,500 KMF rebate and $1,000 conquest rebates?

    That motorwebs link is the most accurate. In June the conquest OR loyality $1000 were also available.

    Can you get 1.9% at 60 months with the $1,500 KMF rebate and $1,000 conquest rebates?

    Yea....sorry you got screwed. Should have gotten both in June. The $1500 @ 2.9/60 was and is still is available.

    Car reversed out of garage with no one in the car.

    Good read on the Audi issues, I remember that controversy. It dealt with sudden accelerations with someone in the car confusing the brake and accelerator pedals, and led to the now universal brake/shift interlock feature. Yes, back in the dark ages (pre 1985) you could start and shift a car...

    Car reversed out of garage with no one in the car.

    Not really, this issue was that it was possible to shift the car out of park without applying the brake, not that it did this on its own. Probably the closest issue was the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which I previously owned, where the gear shift lever did not really move much when shifting so it was...

    Car reversed out of garage with no one in the car.

    Sounds like you spaced and left it in reverse when you got out, we've all been there. If you are saying the car on its own, shifted out of park into reverse, that's a real stretch.....

    FWD or AWD, which one did you purchase?

    Isn't AWD required to vary the power split front to back,i.e. sport mode? Even if you would never need the lock mode, sport mode or even smart mode function makes AWD worth it IMO.

    Kia Telluride ADM Dealers a.k.a "Bad Kia Dealers List"

    Dealers...Charge what you can...I get it. The thing is when you have 20 or 30 on your lot, advantage buyer. All's fair

    Windshield chips and cracks

    Correct...and report what to Kia exactly? Was driving and a rock hit my windshield and cracked it, therefore the Telluride sucks?

    EX Owners, if you get a do-over would you have purchased an SX instead?

    Yea....didn't really look at all the pics! That's really strange! Im sure there is a story associated with it but how did a Canadian SX wind up in AZ?
