We bought a 2020 Telluride used after our Mazda CX 5 was stolen and involved in a murder. Love the Telluride, but it has had some issues. We discovered the high beams didn't work driving late at night in the Santa Fe mountains with no street lights, stars, or moon to light the road. The spare tire hoist got stuck down so my husband removed it so it would drag on the ground. We have had several issues with the driving assist features being blocked by radar, which I am not sure that is what is really happening.
The battery died, and we had it replaced by AAA. When they replaced it, the driver's side window had a 1-inch gap at the top and would only stay closed if you held the button up to close it when you turned off the car. This eventually fixed itself after a few weeks, but OMG, was it annoying! The latest thing is an oil leak that started after the first freeze. I read on here about other people having the same issue. We did have an oil change 4 weeks prior to the oil leak, so I know it wasn't that. I have reported all of this to the NHTSA.
Shortly after we received a letter from KIA recalling our vehicle for the high beams! When we bought it, I got the extended warranty because this was the first year for this vehicle, and I knew that there would be unforeseen issues. I don't regret it one bit because the extended warranty covered the spare tire hoist. I just filed a complaint about the oil leak and hope to get a letter from KIA again, recalling that the issue needs to be fixed. If not, I believe I can get it covered under the extended warranty.
I love how roomy it is, all the USB ports, how comfortable the seats are, the air and heat in the back seats, the third row, and all the cargo space with the seats down. We can fit my mom and the kids and grandkids comfortably in it.

Sorry to hear about that crazy theft situation with the Mazda CX 5. In any event, how do you feel the Telluride compares to it?
