Greetings everyone. New to the Forum and shamefully should have been on here sooner. I have a 2020 SX Prestige. I leased it in May of that year and will almost certainly be buying it shortly. That being said, I'm having an issue with wind noise on the driver's door. From some poking around on this site and generally Googling, it appears I'm not alone and Kia won't acknowledge or act on the issue. I started to notice the wind noise about 18 months ago. Thought for sure my window was up all the way, the door panel was loose, or some other misalignment. Could not find anything. Took it the nearest dealership. I was told they didn't hear anything. I even took a ride with a tech, having him drive and me sitting behind him, and he still claimed he didn't hear anything abnormal. Took it to another dealer and the tech told me Kia had a service bulletin on it, acknowledging it was an issue but they didn't have any solution identified yet. The tech told me to keep checking for an update. Of course that tech left the other two times I went back and each time I was told there was no update. As I approach my buy decision I went to a third dealership. The tech there said he heard something, drove another model Telluride on the lot for comparison, and heard the same thing so it was deemed normal. I know for a fact that noise was not there when I got the car. Something changed. I also test drove a 2023 SX-P two weeks ago and deliberately noticed there was no similar wind noise.
For those that have had similar experiences, am I just SOL on this? Or is there a different approach I should take to have this investigate further? Appreciate any help I can get.
