Did I make a mistake buying a Telluride?

[Kwim]

you, like many owners, became a victim. And yes, you made a mistake.

 

[DarkMossJustin]

Its true -as a current Toyota owner- they still have issues as they age!

Back in the day, my 1990 4Runner had a catastrophic chain of events 3 years into ownership

 

[BasilFawlty]

Jaguars, not surprising.

Well, er, ummm.

 

[szillaxl]

I'd never buy one. British cars have a certain reputation that keep me far away. I know a few neighbors who have Rovers and they tell everyone about all the breakdowns, how their fancy baby is always in the shop, replacing and fixing this and that, but they are so enamored with the look of their cars that they put up with the costly nonsense. Jaguars, not surprising. My Dad had a green Triumph TR7 back in the day. That was a maintenance train wreck that he kept paying to fix until a neighbor kid bought it for his first car and totaled it soon after.

Even worse now that they are Indian made

Was wondering when you'd join the party.

While the Jaguar brand is owned by the Indian company Tata Motors, they are still make in the UK.

After owning model cars made by Acura, Toyota and Honda, my husband and I decided to go for a Kia after a family member boast about her Soul. Now after owing the 2021 Telluride for two weeks, the check engine light appeared twice. Of course, we checked the gas cap, but had to go to the service department. I have already purchased floor mats and a sun visor. Proud owners, what are your thoughts on sticking this through or going back to what I am familiar with?
Thanks

Update:
They changed my temperature sensor and drove it (with evidence of other occupants). Now I will see if my problem is finally resolved.

Outdoor temp sensor?

I’m in the same boat. 2 weeks ago all of my sensors started flashing warnings and at the same time my power steering failed on the highway.

Car has been at the shop for 2 weeks and they finally determined it’s the power steering motor assembly. ETA for part arrival is Jan 27. I just laughed at them, wasn’t sure how else to react.

car got ceramic coating, floor Matt’s, black side steps.. and I’ve only used it for 2 weeks... made plenty more payments

Losing power steering is worrisome. So you won't have a car until Jan? Did they give you loaner?

I have a Soul ad a loaner and getting a rental car tomorrow. Curious what kind of rental car they give me: better be equal or better to Telluride.

Give the dealer a chance and let them see the code. Almost every state has a lemon law, if you keep having trouble with it return it for another, but you have to give them a chance to fix the problem.

What was the issue and was it fixed?

Just 8k miles and Check Engine Light on, I am disappointed!!! drove 900+ miles couple of weeks ago, it was pretty comfortable drive with smart cruise. After the long drive left the car parked on drive way for few days, it snowed and temp was really cold low 30s cleared the snow and started the car I see the Check Engine Light is on and car was shuddering even when idling drove for few miles at low speeds (< 40 mph) and car was still shuddering. Stopped, shut off and then started the car then the check engine light is gone and drive was smoother. Worried about the 900+ miles drive back to home don't want to be stranded middle of nowhere. Will keep driving locally and testing for next couple of weeks. Will take it to dealership if Check Engine light is on again.

Issue was power steering motor assembly. It’s still not fixed as the parts are on back order until end of January.

seems like every part is on back order. I have a separate issue with a door trim that was scratched on delivery.. that has been a month and still has not arrived.

Parts availability is always an issue for the first few years of a new model

I hope its resolved soon.

I got a code reader from amazon and plugged into the car and there were no codes. The check engine light never came again I kept driving in local for 2-3 days then I made the big trip back home 900+ miles. I did not see any issues the drive back was perfect.

I am not really sure why the check engine light came I suspect it has something with cold weather and snow
