Consumer Description

Small pebble was kicked up onto the Front Windshield on normal 35 mph street driving. I have read up on many instances that the Kia Telluride has had many issues with thin or defective glass that is not able to withstand simple small rocks.. This is a MAJOR safety issue and concern that KIA must acknowledge for 2021 and 2022 Telluride owners.. Apparently they noted issues on the 2020 when they were released. In many cases creating a small chip that becomes a major crack once it starts running.. Ours was attempted to be repaired by Safelite AutoGlass.. But still a few months later the crack expanded and began getting longer. KIA must begin to extend warranties for Telluride Owners as this glass is NOT meeting safety standards in protecting passengers.. It may become more evident if someone eventually gets seriously injured if the cracking / shattering glass enters the cabin injuring passengers / children.
