Poll: How satisfied are you with your Telluride?

[Tellmeride]

Let us know how you feel after taking ownership.

I've had zero issues with this car and SO MUCH ENJOYMENT.

I feel for people who have had some issues to manage. I've been there once or twice in the past with other cars. But every time I get in my Telly, I'm just so happy.

We shall see what happens - I've only owned for three months. But so far, I'm hugely delighted.

I voted very satisfied although there are a few very minor nits: 1) A lot of dirt and mud collects opn the inside of the doors (especially the lower portion) 2) The gas cap door sticks out just a tad at the upper right corner. 3) The NF front grill is a chore to keep clean as are the NF wheels. 4) The plastic sides in the cargo area scratches easily. 5) the tow package is not already set up for electric brakes. 6) High/end Harmon Karden Radio with plastic speaker grills? 7) Buttons on the Homelink mirror are not illuminated
These are all minor nits, none of which makes me not really love the car.

This poll could really be a useful tool for buyers since it will indicate the overwhelmingly positive feedback for the car, versus sifting through all the threads describing issues, and contemplating if it would be a good car to buy.

Too bad the poll settings only allow to view after voting. Which would not apply to prospective buyers. Here are the current results though.




Maybe we can make another thread with viewable poll results. Owner satisfaction at 6 months, 12 months, 18 months.

I voted very satisfied but with the caveat that I’ve owned my Telly for less than two weeks. Still in that honeymoon stage.

I voted very satisfied, and I am. However, no car is perfect. I have an S-trim with black Sofino leatherette. The salesman told me it was lower grade compared to the leather in the EX and the SX, so I was warned. I find that it scratches easily and feels thin and really not durable. Let's face it, Kia has to cut some corners to make this vehicle as affordable as it is. Also, the heat stinks. Every time I come to a stop and the rpm's lower, the heat blows cold air. Other's have complained about this and I have personally experienced it on several occasions, usually on extremely cold days here in southern New England. The 2021 comes with a new cabin heater, I'm guesing this is in response to the crappy heat in the 2020. Finally, when I spray the washer fluid to clean the rear window, it leaks for days afterward. Again, I know others have complained about this (it's probably a check valve) and I have experienced it since the car was new. I'm actually getting it looked at next week when my windshield is being replaced.....for free..... Kia has acknowledged it and is paying up. So, overall I'm very satisfied. The minor annoyances that I mentioned here are just that, minor. I love my Telluride.

I've had my 2020 Telluride for close to three years only problem I've ever had was with the high beams not sure how to get that fixed other than that everything's been great 48,000 miles and still moving
