I have owned this car less than a month and a crack is down the center of the windshield. I only drive to the office 3 times a week (20 mile one way). Being a single Mom of a six year old, I have limited time to now deal with getting this repaired.

My wife was driving the car, there was no semi's, no dump trucks.... nothing out of the ordinary... she hears a pop....(similar to a water bottle popping from temperature change), she literally looked at her water bottle to see if that is what made the noise... When she looked up, she noticed a small crack in the windshield. Over the next 4 days, we reached temperatures of 80+ degrees, (it is also very sunny with a lack of clouds...). During those days, you could hear the windshield kind of creaking and you could literally watch the crack expand down the windshield...
I have had ROCKS off dump trucks, CHIP, yes, I said CHIP my 2003 Honda Civics windshield and NEVER had it crack or fracture....
For the smallest pebble to crack a brand new 2024 Kia Telluride's windshield should be a massive embarrassment to this company.
Due to Kia's lack of cooperation... this is factor HIGHLY into my, very close, decision on what brand of vehicle I purchase next.
For a vehicle to be less than 5 months old, less than 8,000 miles, and a car manufacturer to have an ongoing class action lawsuit, AND STILL not accept any responsibility for defective and poorly manufactured glass is extremely disappointing.
I LOVED my Telluride... but this has led me to more than likely.... NEVER purchase another Kia.

I've only had this car a few months and a pebble I couldn't even see cracked my windshield. I feel like this windshield is not up to standards. I've heard others complain about the same thing. I think Kia should be responsible for fixing this.

2024 Kia Telluride, 7 month old. With no impact or chip, the windshield developed a 4" crack to the lower left of the rear view mirror, that continued to grow to the right over time, staying under the mirror and the forward sensing units. Since there was no impact detected and there is known issues with the 2020-23 Telluride Windsheilds, all of which are virtually identical to newer models I'd like to push for the class action or the Kia's good faith handling of the replacement under warranty.
