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.

Brand new 2024 Kia Telluride. Came outside this morning to see a nice crack across the drivers side of the windshield happen before my eyes when I turned on defrost and windshield wipers for the rain. I see this was a common problem with 2023 Kia's. Also after speaking to Service dept (Gay Kia, Dickinson, TX). I truly get the feeling this is still an issue. Biggest down side to this, is they tell me they cant even get me a 2024 telluride windshield right now. if you rub your finger across windshield you definitely can feel a extremely small chip feeling in the glass.

Only had vehicle 2 weeks and a small debris (pebble or dirt) hit windshield only going around 30mph and windshield chipped. When trying to do windshield repair kit on chip, the chip turned into a long crack. I had seen class action lawsuits where telluride windshields were weak/defective and this still seems to be the case.

4 days after I bought the car brand new on an off ramp going about 30mph a car sent a pebble into my windshield. It made a chip and then a crack about 12-?? long. Called Kia dealership and they said they won-??t repair because rock hit windshield. There is a class action lawsuit against Kia and their windshields cracking. Upon waiting for insurance and a new windshield 3 days later the crack has gotten bigger without driving. It is a hazard because glass could shatter and now the crack is disturbing visibility

While driving under normal conditions and with significant distance from another vehicle in front of me, a small rock/pebble hit the windshield of my vehicle, which caused a rock chip. The rock chip quickly "spidered" out and spread within a matter of an hour. Currently there are known and report manufacturer defects with regards to Kia windshields, specific but not limited to the Telluride model. In my case I have a 2024 Kia Telluride SX-Prestige X-Pro. I have also discovered a chip in the rear passenger side window. My vehicle is approximately 23 days from the date of purchase (7/8/2024). I am aware that there is an open Class Action Lawsuit against Kia for 2019-2022 Telluride model vehicles. This needs to be extended through to the 2024 model years.
