I'm thinking this lawsuit is for other vehicles not named Telluride

Correct. I’m thinking Telluride owners also own or have owned other Kia products, making it a relevant question/topic. I’m also thinking Tellurides are made by the manufacturer named in the lawsuit posted on the company’s website.,

There is one for the windshield issue:

Class Action Says ‘Defective’ 2020 Kia Telluride Windshields Prone to Crack, Chip, Fracture

A class action claims 2020 Kia Telluride SUVs suffer from a defect that can cause the vehicle's windshield to crack, chip or fracture "for no reason at all" or upon a "very slight impact."

Well, you're certainly not a part of it since you don't own any of the references vehicles or a Telluride. Now you're just trolling... you always ask for thoughts on irrelevant topics or comparisons.

Irrelevant. LOL This is posted on KIA’s corporate website. Nothing to see here I guess. In what world is a QC lawsuit posted on a manufacturer’s website against multiple model/years irrelevant in the context of a meaningful quality control/reliability history discussion? Do you try to suppress all the other threads that aren’t simply glowing reviews of KIA and the Telluride? Maybe you do, but I don’t stalk your posts to know. I thought this was a forum for open discussion about all things Telluride, not simply a sunshine pumper fan club. If you have shares or vested interest in KIA, I could understand attempts to censor discussions, I guess. Trust me, if I didn’t like the Telluride, I wouldn’t waste time here. If you don’t see value in my threads or comments, please feel free not to respond, but quit trying to build some false narratives about people that start topics that aren’t always glowing or that you aren’t always interested in. Otherwise, it just comes off as being a close-minded fanboy.

If the case is still open I don’t think anyone participating would post. I believe there are some people who work for Kia that are forum administrators. At the very least Kia may be looking through here. When the forum first opened there was someone who claimed to work for Kia and was collecting feedback and that person faded away. It’s also not Kia’s corporate website, it’s a legal third party and the domain name is owned by a privacy company in FL not Kia. You asked for thoughts, these are mine.

Appreciate your thoughts. This is not Kia's corporate website (bottom left)?:

I didn't see a mention of a settlement on that webpage. There is only a very small link at the bottom left, that could be a legal requirement, going to the kiaenginesettlement.com URL that your originally posted.

Correct, a link on the corporate website regarding the company’s “engine settlement.”

What kind of feedback you are hoping to hear?

“Hell yeah I am mad! My Kia Sorento engine caught on fire and I got paid. But here I am shopping again for another Kia car, the Telluride.”

or

“Yeah, my 2018 Optima qualified for that class action settlement, but it never caught on fire so I took the $10 payout. Here I am shopping for another Kia car, the Telluride.”

If that settlement, indirectly related to the Telluride as it is, really bothers a prospective buyer, I would imagine that person would have already moved on to look at other car makes instead of investing their time browsing a Telluride forum.
