2022 Kia Telluride problems

“My 2022 Kia Telluride LX AWD center screen began failing intermittently around October 2025 and failed completely around August 2026. Dates are approximate; 10/29/2025 represents my estimate of about one year ago, not an exact day. Dealer intake was 10/1/2026 at about 75,000 miles; mileage at first failure is unknown. The screen failure prevents the backup-camera image from displaying in reverse, increasing the risk of striking an unseen person or obstacle. No crash, fire, injury, fatality or police report occurred. I also reported intermittent loss of speedometer information. On 10/22 the dealer confirmed the failed center screen and rear-camera display, but said the cluster worked and it had not reproduced the cluster symptom. A common cause is unproven. Speed and warning lamps at first failure are unknown. The dealer recommended head-unit 96560-S9420CDD replacement for $7,799.79. Replacement is not authorized; I requested preservation of components and diagnostic records. After repeated assistance requests and escalation, Kia's 10/29 response concluded its review and denied warranty coverage without technical findings. Please investigate whether loss of the…”

“Car has been degrading and fully depleting batteries, one per year, since car was purchased new. Some undiagnosed electrical drain is resulting the car not starting, either at home or at a stoplight when 'auto-stop' causes the car to stop and restart in traffic. Vehicle has been to dealership to investigate a cause 4 times without a conclusive finding for the cause of the draw. Short battery life and repeated battery failure, paraticularly when the car will not re-start at traffic light stops, is a safety hazard for users of the vehicle. More detail available upon request.”

“I have been having issues with my car cutting off at random times. I crunk it up at Walmart and it shut right back off twice. I was on the way to a mechanic yesterday 10/29/26 and it sputtered as if it was going to cut off at any moment. It drinks oil like crazy. I have already had a oil leak that was "fixed" under warranty and the water pump replaced from a leak I never knew about or experienced issues with. The main issue is the random turning off. I can crank it right back up like nothing ever happened. This is a huge safety issue and very concerning.”

“The AWD coupler is shuttering and making the vehicle shake on turns . It is a common issue with KiA awd systems which is why I don’t understand why it’s not a recall! It puts people’s life’s at risk because upon accelerating at an intersection the binding does not let the full acceleration of the vehicle to take place . I have not yet got it serviced because it’s a pricey job . I just bought the vehicle last month and the warranty expired at the beginning of this month ! How do I purchase a vehicle and expected to to pay for a repair that is known to KIA AWD SYSTEMS !!! My vehicle only has 40k miles on it and from horror stories I hear it goes out more then one time .”
