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

[James]

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 is a revenue stream at local car washes...its hard for me to get all that worked up about this issue but it seems like its not going away. Waiting months or even weeks for a replacement OEM windshield sucks though.

Update from Kia

"Kia Motors America places a priority on safety and takes reported customer concerns seriously. Warranty claims involving damage to any Kia vehicle glass are reviewed on a case-by-case basis as varying influences, such as damage from road debris and other factors beyond Kia's control, may lead to breakage of the windshield glass." The spokesperson said Kia customers can contact the automaker's Consumer Assistance Center at 800–333–4542. We will pass along comments from Subaru as well when we receive them.
