2024 Telluride Pro disappointments

[RickKia]

The most basic problem is the difficulty of the interface with regard to my iPhone. I can play music but not navigation unless plugged into USB. Really! When I push the talk button the car talks to my cell that’s not unlocked so screw it, just always plug into USB.

Anytime there is a car of any mass going by me over 30 miles an hour the Kia is deflected at the slightest bow wave of air. Really do I have to feel ever little discomfort that the car moves like that. I miss my Acura MDX.

Almost ever time you approach the car with the Fob the car should unlock. But no it rarely works as intended. Frustrating. Even when you push the handle button to lock the care it works maybe 50% of the time.

So many other things that just be aware it’s a young model that does not have enough historical tricking. You will be the test dummy.

Good luck but stay with proven brands.

Perhaps you should have done more research before making your purchase decision. Your model has neither wireless CarPlay nor touchless unlock.

I neglected to say it’s my wife’s car and she used several sources. Sorry I am winning. It does do great on long road trips.

I like my Kia,

Agree with every single point. The comfort access sensors are crap, especially when using a mobile device or the keycard.

Sorry that you are having such a bad experience with your Telluride. I love driving mine and don't have all the same issues. I did buy an aftermarket device to add wireless carplay which works great. I drive I-5 most every day and don't have the problems with the wind gusts from other vehicles. I do sometimes find the keyfob to be frustrating, too. Especially when it is pouring down rain and it takes multiple attempts to open the door or rear hatch.

My wife bought ours in October. I've started driving it more and more and am really disappointed.
I couldn't believe the BT can't be used for maps and music. I can play music in my 2010 Ford Truck for goodness sake!!!

The way the car wanders at highway speeds is very disturbing also. I thought it was "tracking" with the lane grooves but any side wind pushes the car off trajectory.

I think I'll just take the hit and sell it now while it's still relatively new...

My wife and I would change too but we spent 62K total out the door and I think I would loose at least 15-20K if I sold it now. We will be patient and hopefully Kia will listen and do some software upgrades to fix these problems. Like the door unlocking when approaching car with Fob. I mean really frustrating ever time!!
