Windshield. Windshield was chipped by a flying rock or piece of debris on the right side just at the edge on February 14, 2022. Within one to two weeks a crack had formed and went two-thirds of the way across the windshield in the view of the driver. Windshield was repaired on March 31, 2022. On April 13, 2022, less than two weeks from the replacement, a flying rock hit the windshield and caused a chip at the very bottom of the middle of the windshield. Within two weeks the chip had formed a crack and went half way up the windshield, turned, and went almost all the way across the passenger side of the windshield - in the view of the passenger. it appears many Kia owners have had the same issue with small chips causing extreme cracks in the windshield which resulted in having to replace the windshields numerous times.

I've had the car for less than 6 months, and have been driving in typical situations that are not any different than how I have been driving other cars (regular driver) for over 20 years. I have 3 separate chips in the front windshield from pebbles or unknown causes. One has extended cracks. I've never had a chip in a windshield on another car before this, let alone 3 within the space of a few months.

I have owned this car for two months. Today, I noticed a crack in my windshield. I haven't had anything hit my windshield. I've contacted Kia and am awaiting a call back, but I see online where there are many more complaints about the glass being faulty and cracking for little or no reason.

The windshield has chipped and shattered three times in the less than 6 months I have owned it. All times, I was driving at or below the speed limit. A pebble sized rock shattered the windshield and the other two times, it wasn-??t even noticeably hit, it just cracked. A windshield that is this fragile is not safe in a brand new vehicle.

I don-??t think the windshield is strong enough and it makes me scared to drive in the highways. I-??ve had for less than 4 months and a small rock left a big crack after going 50mph. Already had another small chip since then. These are made terribly and have had other owners tell me the same.

Purchased vehicle on 2/18/22 and within two weeks, windshield easily cracked with a small rock/pebble kick up in the snow. Several small chips (at least 100) in the windshield causing low visibility in a car that we've only had for 2 months. Several groups of telluride owners report the same problem on 2020-2022 models but Kia is not acknowledging the issue in the 2021/2022 models. Trying to get Kia consumer affairs to show me a statement that proves that Kia has upgraded their 2020 windshield glass (which has been recalled / a part of a class action lawsuit).

Purchased 2022 Telluride SX on 02/14/2022. Today(2/19/2022) noticed a chip/crack on windshield in driver sight. I believe chip/crack happened for no reason. Crack is in drivers sight and it will be a safety concern.

I just recently bought a 2022 Kia Telluride 7 days ago and while driving on the freeway the windshield shattered in the lower corner of driver side. There was no car in front of me (not a close distance) or near me for that matter and there was no overpass for a rock to have fallen from. My windshield shattered and glass landed in my face, eyes, and mouth, and all over the inside of my car. Luckily I was able to maintain some control as there were no other vehicles in close proximity. I-??ve had rocks hit my windshield before but never to the point of causing this kind of damage. There have been recalls on previous Kia Telluride model and others with 2022 models have been experiencing this issue as well. This is ridiculous and of course the windshield is on back order and KIA expects me to continue driving around with my windshield like this because they don-??t know when they-??ll have a windshield available. At the dealership they were adamant that a rock hit the windshield however, myself and the passenger did not see a rock and the level of damage that occurred should not have been this high which is concerning as well. There is no way it is safe for me to continue driving like this especially when KIA doesn-??t even have an estimated date for me to get this repaired.

This 2022 Telluride EX was purchased on 7/10 and has about 1015 miles. While driving in a 35 mph zone beside a shopping center, I heard a click and then noticed that I had a chip in the windshield directly in front of the driver side. I never saw a rock or anything hit the windshield and there were no cars in front of me or passing me at the time so I don't believe a rock hit the windshield. I am not exactly positive what happened during this low speed incident but I have never had this with any previous vehicle I have owned. I believe there is a safety issue with the glass on this windshield if it can chip or crack this easily.
