“The dashboard display went blank while driving down the highway. I could not see my speed, fuel level, or and engine performance indicator lights. I called Kia and found there was a recall for this problem but NOT FOR MY VIN. Well, I have the same dangerous issue as those included in the recall, so I think my vehicle should be recalled immediately. Thank you.”

“I just purchased my car on 7/15/21. While driving today my lcd screen on the dashboard goes black after the system check. I can not see any function on my vehicle ie, miles…system setting, fuel etc. this screen is a necessity to Operate this vehicle. While looking online many telluride customers are experiencing the same issue and there has been no remediation from Kia”

“While driving the car, the speedometer on the car read 0, the entire drive. It would not register how fast or slow I was going. I tried turning off the car and turned it back on, it continued to not read my speed. I have video of the entire incident, but it looks like I can't download video to this site.”

“My Kia Telluride backup camera and screen has become unusable with random colors, screen dark spots, blacking out, and pixelation. This is becoming a widespread problem according to multiple message board posts for Tellurides. I cannot use the backup camera. Most users are reporting Kia refuses to cover as a safety issues and is charging over $8000 to replace the entire infotainment system. There were no warnings, just starting happening randomly and is now seemingly permanent.”

“The instrumentation screen in front of the drivers wheel goes out all black periodically on some startups. With it black, cannot tell what MPH / Gear / distance to empty / drivers mode, and none of the advanced drivers assist features work. One time it happened while on cruise control and just kept accelerating as if it didn't know what speed I was going. 2022 kia telluride. Many others same issue in the forums I'm in.”
