My 2022 Kia Telluride LX AWD center screen began failing intermittently around October 2025 and failed completely around August 2026. Dates are approximate; 10/29/2025 represents my estimate of about one year ago, not an exact day. Dealer intake was 10/1/2026 at about 75,000 miles; mileage at first failure is unknown. The screen failure prevents the backup-camera image from displaying in reverse, increasing the risk of striking an unseen person or obstacle. No crash, fire, injury, fatality or police report occurred. I also reported intermittent loss of speedometer information. On 10/22 the dealer confirmed the failed center screen and rear-camera display, but said the cluster worked and it h

I recently completed a test drive with a Kia dealership service technician, who personally witnessed and acknowledged the problem. Following that test drive, the head service manager informed me that this issue occurs in some Tellurides following a Kia software update to the transmission. I was further advised that the de

My low beam passenger side headlight started turning on and off randomly. Now it’s both low and high beams. Some days it is on when I start the vehicle and then turns off while driving and vise versa. Some days there is a dash light with it, and some days there is not. Some days it is out all day, while other days it works all day. Then I can get in the vehicle the next day and it turns on and off sparatically.
