List the thing(s) that annoy you about your Telluride

[rcoplien]

A trick that I learned from a salesman is to put the key directly under your chin and hit the button, your head acts like an antenna. Haven’t had an instance where it didn’t increase the distance significantly. What non-ionizing radiation like that does in the long term is another issue…

Actually it's a scientific fact that is true.

Actually it's a scientific fact that is true.

It's the same radio signal science that required the youngest kid in the room to hold the dipole antenna so that the TV or radio signal improved. IF it works, it may only help by less than a car length. The better hack is to double up the voltage of the battery strength in the fob by using two thinner ones. One CR2032 is 3V, but two CR2016s stacked are the same diameter and thickness and give you 6V. You go through batteries quicker but it definitely increases range.

Remote start with oem fob!

Someone of FB forum had remote start installed on the fob, no real info on how yet. I cant link the video up but if anyone can go ahead.

More like increasing the range from 100 feet to 300 feet with direct line of site. I do it on the regular in parking lots.

I guess the air where you are must pass more electricity. I was able to get 565 feet direct line of site just holding the fob in front of me with no obstructions standing down the road in front of a neighbor's house. Raising it to my chin with my mouth open I got to 567 feet but no further. Just to make sure it wasn't just me, I had my son do the same and we got the same results. I thought maybe his braces would help

How do you turn it off? Seriously, I have not had/taken time to go through all the buttons.

I highlighted the Auto Start/Stop button in red.

My biggest issue: Terrible remote start range. Absolutely horrendous.

- Reverse lights and license plates light are cheap halogen, Should be LED on a 50k car.
- Cabin light buttons are not illuminated
- Auto start can't be permanently disabled (I know there is a harness you can buy)
- Oil filter holder is plastic on plastic. Terrible to screw together.
- For 50k, I'd expect the headlights to turn when I turn the steering wheel.

I agree minus the oil filter didn’t know about that. As for the reverse LED’s, I spent an extra $50 and bought high quality LED bulbs for reverse and license plate lights to complete a full LED packed rig. I wish it had steering responsive headlights too, but I had noticed the SX headlights and fog lights are bright and span out fairly wide. Regardless, they should turn with the steering wheel at 50k.

That’s impressive, almost 2 football fields in distance, just holding in front of you. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that kind of range for any car I’ve been in unless the fob was aftermarket/long-range. Are you in a rural area? Maybe too much interference in the metro and suburbs I am around to get those results.

Biggest annoyance lately is the fact that the navigation screen won't switch from rear camera to CarPlay until you hit 10mph. It results in accelerating to 10 in parking lots just so I can see whether to turn left or right out of an unfamiliar lot.

Press the SVM button by the shift lever while in Drive to turn off the cameras.

Wish the steering wheel would extend out farther (my arms are short compared to my torso lol)

Same here, but that’s a problem I have with every car.

 

[rcoplien]

Wish the steering column was automated like my Durango is it's not manual it's powered so when I hit the off button not only does my seat go back but my steering column retracts. Guess I'll find out next month when I get my new telly

Only one issue on my 2022 Telly. I live in Russell County Alabama close to the border with Columbus GA. That state line is also a time zone change from EDT to CDT. The clock in my car changes automatically every time I cross that border. This would be great except that Russell County AL is the one county in AL that remains on eastern time. Even when GPS time is turned off it will change time at the time zone border. I could overcome this on previous Toyotas and a Buick. My cell phone deals with it. Why can't Kia let me hard specify a time zone? This may have been possible on earlier model years but not on the 2022

The cheap truck cover looks like nothing more that piece of carpeted pressboard. Coming from a 2012 RT dodge durango which has similar configuration of the back, the Telluride lacks the quality in that department at least.

I don't like the auto stop start, I haven't got used to it yet. Sometimes I feel like im jumping.

No recovery points when that problem comes, Hopefully I can get a tow hitch before that happens.

I don’t like the auto stop start but now its just a habit to turn it off right after I start up. I wonder if newer models will not have it. My daughter just got a 2022 K5 LXS and hers does not have this feature.

Yeah it's a habit now, I turn it off and turn on auto hold. It's more useful on a longer stop and go situation.

There is a setting to turn this off. It's called extended camera... Or something similar.

Finding the strengths of the Telluride is easy for potential buyers. But weaknesses usually become apparent only after owning a vehicle for a while.

So, what things bug you most about your Telluride?

The high beam and it's curtains or shutters as they called, very bad mechanism for changing between high beam and the lower one

 

[ELCapiTRAN]

Same with others.

-Auto Stop/Start
-Auto Hold should be on by default
-No Rhyme or reason as to which profile is default on launch. I could drive for 3 days straight but sometimes it'll have her as the default and sometimes it will have me as the default.
-Leg extension support doesn't really do anything.
-Nav screen is kind of small and not that bright. Ugly looking with the large bezels.

I HATE the fact that controls for seat/radio/mirrors cannot be programmed to individual keys. We had this on our 2014 Nissan Pathfinder, and would have expected it for the price of the SX package! It's kind of a moot point for us since our drivers side seat has been broken almost the entire time that we've had it, but it's still annoying.
