FCW / BWS / Autohold / Traction Control / Terrain Mode Unavailable

[BCtelluride]

Hi Folks,

2022 EX with 5000km: Brand new studded snow tires: can’t get up gentle driveway slope in snow.

Following issues:
”check FCW system”
”Check BSW system”
*traction control not working (why it has become useless in the snow)
*autohold is lit up in orange
“terrain mode unavailable”


-I’m assuming it’s all connected… kamloops Kia has not responded to my calls or texts, I have a service booked but not sure I can get this vehicle safely to Kamloops (250km)

-checked to see if snow or ice has covered sensors. no luck.

anybody else?

I will not drive it! I will pay for towing. But first, see if Kia will help to reimburse towing. Did you call them? Thanks.

Update: Failure is due to a faulty rear wheel speed sensor. Kia Canada towed it and the dealership initially would not help out with a loaner but after chatting the GM they sent one out to us. It’s been almost a month and no updates on repair.

Update to original post: 6 weeks and still not repair. No replacement part (Rear Speed Sensor) available on the continent apparently, and has been back ordered from Korea. I call every week and find out the arrival date is being pushed back another week. Starting to wonder if the vehicle will be in the shop as along as it took us to get from factory. I loved the vehicle, but if this is reflective of its reliability and reparability, I'm considering selling it and finding something else. Has anyone else had this issue?
