    Windshield

    It's unfortunate, and I feel for you... but the reality is what smacked your windshield was not insignificant in size if it created a one inch diameter crater. This isn't from a pea sized rock that's resulted in a crack covering your entire winshield. So as much as I hate to say it, it sounds...

    Canadian version of the Telluride owners manual is now available on the Kia.ca site

    I'll give you my rampant speculation, based on owning a prior 4WD SUV. With my older vehicle (a 2005 Mitsubishi Montero LTD), it was 2WD at the rear, unless you moved the selector lever to one of the 4WD options, and then the front wheels would lock in and you were in 4WD mode. If you then...

    Windshield

    I appreciate the feedback. Based on that, I should have the updated windshield glass as well. Fingers crossed...

    Windshield

    Sorry to hear you experienced this. I'm just a load of anxiety every time I'm on the road now because of concern of the cost of replacing the windshield. In your conversation with Kia Customer Relations, did they indicate when the "new windshield" glass started being installed in our...

    Windshield

    Just wondering if anyone has heard if the replacement glass is now tempered differently or less prone to chip/crack issues that the factory installed windshield? I see one post from a fellow Canadian owner who said their dealer covered it, but if others don't, it might be time to intiate a...

    Vent Visor/Vent Shade? (you know, the thing where you can crack the window in the rain!)

    I haven't been able to source any 3rd party ones so far, and I went with the OEM Kia units. Yup, paid the hostage fees to get them. That said, I'm not really keen on how they're designed or meant to go on the vehicle. First and foremost, on any other vehicle I've had these on (and there have...

    Door handle covers?

    Actually, that's helpful info for another reason. I notice my door handles are kind of "floppy" for lack of a better term. They don't seem to be firmly attached, and you can easily wobble them up and down. Perhaps it's this easy "pop off" feature that's the cause of it. Are your landles kind...

    Door Dent Protection?

    Thank you for the link. Best I've seen so far, and what I'll check a bit more is if it can be mounted higher on the door. I fully agree with you in that if it's installed in a lower location it serves no purpose other than potential aesthetics. Since it's a DIY installation, it would be...

    Door Dent Protection?

    Thank you for replying. Yes, I'd seen a few variations of those when I was researching options both in Amazon and eBay. I also tried Ali, but since the vehicle isn't marketed in Asia, they don't seem to carry anything targetted towards the Tellurdie. I'm looking for something that's...

    Door Dent Protection?

    I've done a search and can't find anything on this. Does anyone know if there's a kit that can be purchased to add horizontal trim strips to the door panels to protect against door dings? Granted, the funky panel shapes on the doors themselves don't lend themselves to an easy solution, but...

    Canadian Telluride Roll Call!

    Took delivery of our Sangria 2020 Telluride SXL Nappa a few weeks ago. So far spending most of my time learning the various systems and settings, and with the current travel restrictions and requirements for travel due to COVID, just put my first 500km on it this last weekend. So far, loving...

    Kia Telluride Issues

    On page 4-32 of the Canadian version of the owners manual (must be close to the same location for the US manual), it mentions a reset process for the automatic rear liftgate. If you've not already tried this, give it a shot... at least that way when you take it to the dealer it's something you...

    Kia Telluride Issues

    Could be a defective coil pack.... it happens, and not just with this vehicle. Could be fuel choices or plug gap issues. Lot's of potential reasons that could result in that. Let your dealer address the issue as it's still under warranty. Depending upon your comfort level, a BT OBD2 scanner...

    Speedometer is off by 5 KM/H

    Speed as determined by GPS will not be as accurate as the vehicle's sensors, regardless of where you live and drive. We are allowed limited deviation in displayed speed as well, but my point is that it was eventually addressed through a firmware update. A part of the reason why there is an...

    Tricking the Telluride

    Probably more to do with the lack of inteligence of potential owners and associated lawsuits due to their actions.

    Telluride 4100 pound

    Lambo makes a nice SUV... that might work for you. :-)

    How about all weather floor mats.......

    No, they do not. I purchased Weathertech mats for the front, the second row captains's chairs, and the full rear cargo bay (3rd row seating stowed flat). The second row mat is a single piece that goes in front of the chairs across the full width of the floor, but they do not go between the...

    Petition to make UVO Free

    Signed as well. For me, everything but remote start is more of a novelty than a must have requirement. Why try to market a vehicle in an upscale segment then nickle and dime potential owners for what should be a complimentary service?

    Did you buy the extended warranty?

    Because most vehicles don't have a lot of dealer margin on them anymore, they try to make their profit on the uplift that gets pitched after the purchase. I reviewed the package for extended warranty and chose to pass on it for several reasons. First, most of the items in the list that I...

    Speedometer is off by 5 KM/H

    A similar discrepancy occured in one of my other vehicles, and a ECM/PCM module update fixed it. It seems to only affect North American cars sold in Canada, as ours were metric displays and the those sold in the States displaying miles didn't have the same issue. I haven't seen anything like...
