• 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...

has anyone else noticed that when you have the third row floor vents turned on that only air comes out of the passenger side floor vent and nothing comes out of the driver side?

Same thing with our SX
 
Yes. Had dealer look at this. Took apart and said no blower motor or duct work for driver’s side rear floor vent. Supposedly called Kia and said car was designed that way. Verified with other Tellurides on lot. Seems odd to me. SX AWD
Same exact thing happened to us. They took it apart and there is actually nothing to fix. I find it a bit odd that they designed it with a "fake" vent

We have the same thing in our S. Our youngest was sitting at the back and mentioned it to us. Looked at it and sure enough no air was blowing on the rear driver side. Glad I found this thread. I was thinking a blower was out.
 
Just noticed this on our 2021 S FWD. Was about to take it to the dealer so thank you for posting. It's weird that it's a fake vent.
 
Does anyone have any luck with a fix? My 2020 Telluride now has the same issue. It was fine with all vents having equal airflow until the dealership "fixed" a separate issue, now 2nd-row vents barely have any air coming out. I feel like there is a flaw that they don't want to issue a recall for, kind of like the windshields!
