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...

I am having the same cv boot problem and warranty issue. They quoted me $2,900 to fix it. Local shop said $2,200. Either way it sucks. Spoke to truxxx and of course they said this shouldn’t happen.

When Mina buddy did my lift, it came out or the CV boots were leaking. But I also put it on after my vehicle had like 41000 miles..
I had it removed and then paid a shop that the manufacturer recommended with no complications since knock on wood.

I finally repaired my CV boot problem and had to pay out of pocket because they voided the warranty due to the lift kit. This is really crappy considering these cv boot problems are obviously very common. The private mechanic even said it was strange that Kia had the parts in stock as they are expensive parts and usually would not be kept in stock, meaning that they must be doing a lot of cv boot repairs. So basically I got screwed out of warranty coverage for nothing on my end. Live and learn I guess, but won't be getting another Kia thats for sure.
Same. Passenger side CV boot leaking At 66k miles. need to investigate if torn or clamp leaking.

I have a 2020 SX Prestige and the CV boot clamp was replaced under warranty by the dealership at 40,000 miles as it was leaking on passenger side of vehicle. The driver's side one is OK for now. The clamp I think was about $200 from my dealership and they put it on free of charge under the warranty which I was happy about as I thought they would say I did it. My dealer is in Salem, Virginia and so far have been pretty good about warranty repairs for my Telluride.
2020 SX, 80k mi- Getting my third CV boot replacement (2nd on left, 3rd on right). Originally not covered under warranty, as I had the Truxxx lift kit installed. Issues kept happening (sagging back end, hard ride, and these damn boots). Finally had the dealer completely remove the lift kit, and replace the right boot kit at that time. Now both are torn again and dealer won’t honor the warranty as the replacements are only 12k miles or 1 year, and I passed the 12k mark in ~6-7 months.
The dealer used to be good, but got acquired, and now the staff is different every time I go in. It’s at Christian Brothers now, as they’ll provide 3yr, 36K miles on the replacement boot kits, actually care about my experience, and slightly better price. Definitely done with the dealer, and maybe the Telly if this next $2K+ repair doesn’t stick.

That should be covered under warrantee and they should provide a loaner or get you a rental on their dime.

You are completely right. It will be covered under the factory warranty.

Seems like this problem is affecting earlier models of Telluride. Wonder if they’ve improved the boots/clamps since then.

Had to fight with dealer but they ended up replacing the whole CV axle. No cost to me.
No I see there is a recall for intermediate shaft problems.

2021 SX FWD with 44,510 miles...passenger side inner boot discovered leaking during dealership's courtesy inspection. Vehicle was in for Wheel Speed Sensors/HECU software update campaign. I appreciate the dealership discovering the CV Boot issue without trying to sell me any other "needed" service. I put it up on jack stands in my garage & confirmed the (visible) problem is only at the passenger side inner boot. Hopefully, that's the last of it. Bringing it in tmrw for repair under warranty.

What is the intermediate shaft issue?
Same thing over here. We bought new tires...it is still vibrating and shaking the whole car. It usually happens at high speeds but is not constant. Sometimes it lasts along time, then goes away and comes back 20 - 30 min later. We notice it more on the freeway and especially when we have longer road trips. It is scary!
