New kia telluride 2023 7357 miles and i have a bought on less than a year. My windshield suddenly chip under normal driving condition and i have a dash cam in my telluride. When i park the car i saw a chip in the windshield. Then after a few hours i checked the car and the windshield started to crack then after a few hours again of checking the crack keep running and keep getting bigger and bigger, still my car is just parking and the weather is at 60s today. Now i check my car again and the crack keep on running and not stoping even its just parked. This is crazy as this is a new car and i have a car which is 9 years old, daily driving car and have no experience with having this issue with its windshield. Also my family have 5 cars that are older than mine and not experience this at all. I will keep observing this and see how the windhsield and the crack will react to a parked car and a new car that is less than 1 year old

Had to get the front windshield replaced with only about 2,000 miles on the car, had a crack across the entire windshield. Now with only about 6,000 miles. I have another chip on my windshild. I barely drive on the freeway and have nomal driving conditions. This shouldn't be an issue on a new car. Windshield is fragile and makes me worried glass is unsafe.

While driving on the highway, windshield was hit by a small pebble on the driver side. What was an initially a very small chip started to spread over half the windshield creating visibility issues and negating the ability to repair the chip in the windshield.

Windshield cracked during regular use, no object hit the vehicle to cause a crack. Crack started from the seal and moved out from there. It is not safe to drive a car with a crack in the windshield. Many people have complained online about this same issue. Dealer said "it may be a common issue". No warning, no inspection.

Without any other vehicles driving in front, a small crack appeared on the edge of the driver-??s side of my brand new 2023 Kia Telluride windshield. Looks like a small rock may have hit, but there were no cars to throw the rock. The windshield immediately cracked across to the middle of the passenger seat. The crack has a large gap where dust has started collecting. The glass is not very thick, and the crack is visibly deep. This happened within a month and a half of owning the brand new vehicle. I have read many complaints about the same or similar issues regarding Telluride windshields

My Vehicle is about 2 months old and the windshield is cracked. Its very concerning because it seems as though the windshield is very fragile and this is a huge safety issue for myself as well as others who get into my vehicle. I took my vehicle to Kia and expressed my concerns and problem and they told me that the issue was not covered by Warranty.

While driving on highway my new Kia Telluride-??s suddenly made a very loud and scary popping noise. I pulled off at next exit to find a large chip and crack in the top of windshield. I did not see a rock hit it so I-??m not sure how it cracked. Completely unacceptable and a safety concern if the windshield cracks this easily.

Driving home from purchasing vehicle heard a pop like squeezing an empty water bottle. Did not know what it came from. Eventually noticed a fine line crack in lower corner of passenger side of windshield extending from edge of glass towards center and curving up. Length approximately 9-10 inches. Contacted dealer to be told they can't help us.
