• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

03/28/2022 Went out to go to the store, 2022 Telluride,2027 miles on it, battery was dead. No voltage at all, Tried starting ,nothing. Called Kia roadside service they came and jumped it. From there we went to the dealer 25 miles away. By the time we got there the battery was fully charged, I wanted a new battery but was told Kia will only authorize if battery shows failure. My power pack was in rear of car Also learned you cannot access back hatch, or fold down rear seats, when battery is dead. I guess we wait and see if it happens again, if so I will have it towed to dealer so battery will be in same condition and not charged.

Is anyone else having this problem? It’s happened to me twice now in my 2022 SX. First time was the day after I got it. I had to jump start it leaving a wedding reception. The dealership replaced the battery and everything was fine for a month. I had to jump it again yesterday leaving work. Voltmeter showed 5V.
