• 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...

Have you checked your fluid levels?

Hi, I'm a new owner (newer) of Telluride EX AWD. I opened up the hood for the first time (I know...) as I was upgrading my headlight bulb to LED, I noticed the fluid levels were not topped off. Coolant was midway between full and low, engine oil was barely registering. Is this normal? I just emailed my sales guy to see if they would top off all the fluids for me.

It was kind of stupid of me to not check under the hood for fluids. He opened up the hood for me before the purchase decision, but my mind wasn't focused on the fluids. For all new buyers out there, open up the hood and check the fluids before you drive off your vehicle from the dealership. At the least, it would save you from making an additional trip.
What LED lights did you put in”
 
Picked up my LX AWD yesterday and got home before I got to the tire psi screen. All 4 were at 50!!!
Ditto. Mine were at 48 when delivered,
 
check your door jam to see the proper tire pressure for your model. Just because his is 35 doesn't mean yours is.
According to the manual, both the 18's and 20's should be set to 35psi. I suspect they're being shipped from the factory with higher pressures so they can easily navigate rail car and truck carrier ramps.
 
Same here. All of my tires were inflated to 47 PSI. I could feel the difference so I backed it down to 35 PSI.
I decided to check other items and there was a couple of places where oil had splashed around some. I even noticed that some oil spots were on the backs of the windshield wiper arms. Cleaned it all up and put on several miles and it doesn’t appear to be repeating. Anyone else see this under the hood??

I put in sealight 9005 HB3, but found it to be too dark and felt unsafe driving in my low beam. I replaced it with Hikari which was cheaper and better, but still left more to be desired. There's a separate thread for LED headlights, and most seem to be happier with Tianfuyao on Amazon.
