• 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...

List the thing(s) that annoy you about your Telluride

I did that haha! HOWEVER, it completely locked me out and even my spare key wouldn’t unlock the doors. Only the lift gate would unlock and open, so I had to crawl through lol

Thanks for telling me! I won't try it! It is strange that the physical key wouldn't work either.
 
Ah I missed that about the actual physical key, I might try that out tonight
 
Have you tried adjusting the steering wheel with the telescopic feature?


Yes even after adjusting as far as it will come out still not far enough for my liking. It does not seem to come out as far as other cars I have owned.
 
-No method to successfully connect an iPod to the USB port
-The fact that I can not permanently disable automatic door lock is a huge issue....

Only 1 USB port that can read music and connect phone - can't play my songs on USB drive while using Apple maps
Allowing to play media from only one USB is biggest glitch I see, other then that I also don't like to pay for Remote start via app, I would like to have it on KEY fob. Map updates should be automatic without paying not every update have to shell out $$$.
 
Yea, the USB port does suck. I will miss that about the Sorento, it had the hard drive on it and I uploaded all my thumb drive music on it so I could listen to it and use AA at the same time.
 
Finding the strengths of the Telluride is easy for potential buyers. But weaknesses usually become apparent only after owning a vehicle for a while.

So, what things bug you most about your Telluride?
The ability to hear my text messages, not just read them. I get tired of stopping my car and putting it in park. My Jeep had that ability. I just had to tap the listen button on the screen!!!

No remote start. I wouldn't have been a deal killer, but I didn't even ask. Who'd have thought that a 2020 40K vehicle wouldn't have remote start.

It does through the app, just not the key fob
 
I am disappointed that my EX does not have memory seats. I know they come in the SX but I am surprised that I dont have them in the EX. Seems pretty standard in other cars that are not as nice as the Telluride.

I am also disappointed that the second row doesn't have heated seats. Why does any manufacturer only put them in the front seats? Like the people in the back are not important? I say if you are going to put in heated seats, they should be going on all seats. Its like putting AC only in the front and not in the back..no difference to me.

But I will say, I absolutely LOVE the talk-to-text ability. I run my own company and I am often in the car and need to respond to text messages. I use it just about every time I am in the car. Way to go Kia!

Sounds like you really wanted an SXP.......

I did! But there were NONE around me. The two dealers that were around me had a few coming in but they were ALL pre-sold. I had no chance of getting an SX.
 
Telluride is a great vehicle.
things i would change:
1. lighted homelink (garage door open/close) buttons on the rear view mirror.
2. push button open/close on all four doors...not just the front doors.
3. foot activated tailgate open/close.
Are you able to unlock
Your doors while driving and your doors
Not instantly relock
While driving ? Thank you. Possible future
Owner. Would appreciate a comment on this question. Thank you.
 
4. No Widescreen Android Auto

These are all nit-picks though and aside from 4 and 5 you can correct them.

Any chance you of a picture of what the screen looks like with Android Auto active? Would really appreciate seeing what it looks like on the Telluride screen. Thanks!

I've had my car for a month and yesterday was the first time this happened.. Music could be at volume 1,2,5 or 10 and it all sounded the same (pretty loud). You could hit the button to turn AV off and the music would continue to play (couldn't change channels through the steering wheel when this happened). The only way the music would actually turn off is turning the volume to 0. I was actually at the KIA service department getting my plates when this first happened but I was in a rush so I didn't even mention it. This went on for like 30 minutes (after turning the car on/off a few times), but after I turned the car on an hr later the problem was gone!
That was like a 45 minute annoyance so I think it qualifies for this thread lol, otherwise we LOVE the car. We've had it a month as of yesterday and put on 2900 miles on it so far.
