Large area of roof has paint peeling off exposing metal. Several paint chips on roof and sides as well. Hazard: Polyisocyanates such as toluene and 4,4'-diphenylmethane are found in paints and other automotive coatings. These are toxic to the nervous system and are also skin and eye irritants.

Paint is peeling off the car. Car is 3.5 years old. Kia refuses to take issue with the car. They are standing behind mileage. I first reported this KIA of North America at 40K+ miles..

When opening the sunroof (it opens with the press of a button, a part flew off of the sunroof and it came off of the tracks). After, we could not close it and it made a loud noise when pressing the button. We took it to Kia who said it needed a part that was back ordered. They put plastic over the roof and told my husband it was ok to drive it home. We assumed they had secured the sunroof as they kept the car for several hours. On the Highway, the entire sunroof flew off of the car landing in the middle of a 6 lane interstate. I-??ve since read that other owners of kia tellurides have had failed sunroofs as well. Thankfully no cars were hit when our sunroof flew off but the risk was there. This is a safety issue that needs to be investigated. If the failed part is backordered, that could indicate that there may be a big demand for the part because it is failing.

I got into my car after work yesterday and I had a crack in my windshield. The crack was not their that morning when I parked it. What is the deal with all these windshields cracking?

Constant wind noise on driver's side, not normal wind sound caused by car. Brought in to dealer 3 times, still unresolved. Dealer mechanic test drove vehicle with me inside. Mechanic acknowledged issue exists. This is brand new car.

Brand new 2020 Kia Telluride purchased on 3/18/19. On 4/6/19 the front passenger door would not open at 1273 miles. Took it to Kia dealership garage on 4/8/19 and they could not fix it. I filed a formal complaint with corporate Kia on 4/9/19. No one is calling me back. I feel it is unsafe to drive a car with a door that will not open from the inside or outside.
