Example complaints

“After owning this brand new car for less than 2 months, I've had 2 rocks hit my windshield and resulting in cracks. Those rocks were not big and I wouldn't have expected those to result in actual windshield cracks. After looking this up, it seems that this is a common issues with Kia Telluride and that the quality of the windshields is not great.”
NHTSA complaint #11572432, filed 2024-02“Our telluride was less than a week after purchase and driving down the street when my wife heard a crack and a small crack appeared in lower driver side of the windshield. Before reaching home within the hour, the crack has spread across half the windshield. I dont believe there was a point of impact to cause the crack. It just happened spontaneously.”
NHTSA complaint #11611425, filed 2024-08“The sunroof spontaneously exploded while I was driving my kids to practice. Luckily we had the sunshade closed, so that prevented us from getting covered in glass. I have found several claims online from other Kia Telluride owners experiencing this same issue. There were no prior issues or warnings.”
NHTSA complaint #11663360, filed 2025-05“Within a week of taking delivery of my car after purchase the lower right corner of my windshield developed a 16 crack. To my knowledge, my windshield had not been struck by any object and I had only driven it 300 miles since picking it up. The crack is a safety issue as it limits or inhibits visibility through the windshield.”
NHTSA complaint #11559971, filed 2023-12“Second day we owned this brand new vehicle we had a small rock hit the windshield at highway speed. The impact created an immediate chip and small star in the glass. Within 2 hours it had cracked over 6 inches. I have never had a windshield crack so fast and large after a rock impact. The size of the chip would not lead you to believe the windshield would crack. I have read multiple complaints of this exact same issue.”
