We heard a loud noise, like glass breaking as we were driving. the next day we went to our telluride and found the windshield cracked almost halfway across. the crack started in the upper corner, passenger side, and traveled downward toward the center. we bought the car new in december. the car was stationary when the crack traveled but we heard the noise while driving.
When we purchased the vehicle a small pebble hit windshield and had it repaired in 2 days. the next one happened in january, went to get in vehicle and had a crack running across windshield from top of glass by rear view mirror to underneath rear view on drivers side. it is still going across windshield. cost to repair is around $900.00 plus have to take back to kia dealer and get vehicle calibrated
Windshield cracked without any sign of anything hitting it. my wife went into the store and when she returned there was a crack in the windshield starting on the driver side lower left. no recollection of anything hitting the windshield.
A small rock hit my windshield while driving at 50 mph on the freeway. the windshield easily cracked and chipped. it had to be completely replaced for $1200. i have owned other cars before and never encountered such a fragile windshield.
While driving on the interstate at 60mph a very small pebble hit my windshield on the top rhs and put a dime sized hole in the windshield coming to a point on the inside making a complete opening. it is now starting to crack like a spiderweb. safelite has refused to touch it and the dealership has stated it will take several weeks to get a replacement and the cost is upwards of $750.00+. this is absolutely ridiculous, when you pay this much for a vehicle and you have to return to the dealership to obtain a cheaply made product and pay a not so cheap price for it. this is absolutely highway robbery. the service department recommended i turn this over to my car insurance. after speaking with my insurance provider, i learned my premium will increase due to having to file a claim. so, basically i'm going to have to pay an enormous amount of money for a cheaply made product or pay an enormous amount of money over who knows how long for a cheaply made product. from looking at the growing amount of complaints, there appears to be a legitimate cause for investigation into the product kia is putting into their vehicles and selling to consumers. additionally, should something small come through one of these windshields and injure a person inside of the vehicle or cause an accident, i would presume the affected individual(s) would have a legitimate ground for a potential lawsuit. there are far too many complaints being filed against kia for this same issue and failure to investigate this many complaints by consumers is reckless.
I was driving my 2020 telluride on a two lane road under 45 mph with no oncoming traffic and one car much further up the road. i did not see anything hit my windshield or coming toward me. i heard a very loud cracking noise and my windshield had a starburst crack on the driver's side near the edge of the windshield. within 20 minutes the crack had started to spread out several inches on each side with one side cracking all the way to the edge. there was not a chip on the outside of the glass that would have been left if something very hard like a rock had hit the windshield. the only thing i can think of that could have hit the glass was an acorn falling from a tree above the road. an acorn should not crack a windshield! the outside temperature was 38 degrees and i the windshield defroster had been running for about 10 minutes prior to the cracking.
The headlights on my ex model are seriously deficient and dangerous, especially during driving in low light area during turns. at my own expense i've purchased led bulbs, which have improved visibility ahead of me. however, the light is blocked by the projector type housing from illuminating the left and right sides of the front of the vehicle. visibility during turns is non-existent. this needs to be addressed asap.
Within 6 days of purchasing my kia telluride, it suffered a significant chip and small cracking on the windshield while driving on the freeway at approximately 65 mph. i did not see any pebbles, rocks or debris in the area, nor did i observe any pebble actually hit the car. i did not observe any cars or trucks ahead of me on the freeway with any open/uncovered loads. in fact, i only observed passenger vehicles. the timing of the chip/crack seemed to coincide going over a small dip on the highway.
I had just purchased my 2020 kia telluride from the dealership. while driving home i heard a loud sound that startled me and made me jump. i then noticed that my windshield had cracked less than an hour into owning the car. i was driving 30 mph which on a city street.
Tiny pebble hit windshield when i was driving 35 mph on on ramp. cracked the windshield.
Driving down the 35 mph part of hwy 130 yesterday, a lone car passed going the other direction. i heard a small "smack" of a small rock hitting my windshied. i looked at it 3 minutes later, and it was about the size of a dime. i resumed driving and arrived at my destination. came out 1 hour later, and the crack had spread by 4-5 inches. temperature was 65 degrees. this windshield seems extremely fragile. now i've called to get a replacement - they are only available through dealers and cost $750. will the new ones be more durable?
Had a plastic wrap barely hit my windshield on highway and it cracked windshield.
While driving my 2020 telluride i heard an odd sound on the passenger side of the vehicle and noticed a small crack developing on the passenger side of windshield. it started from about midway heading horizontally and then made a curve upward as i drove. the crack is at least 18 inches long. there is no visible damage or markings of anything hitting the windshield nor did i notice anything strike the windshield. the crack originates underneath the molding and appears to be a defect. when the crack started i was traveling on a city street at around 30 miles an hour with no traffic around.
My new kia has a completely demolished/cracked windshield with no rock chip, just a spontaneous failure while driving with no traffic nearby
This is my second report. my windshield on my 2020 kia telluride is cracked again. this time it's on the passenger side of the windshield. it's a long crack that starts at the a pillar and travels across the windshield. when i got in my car to go somewhere i saw the crack. i am the only driver. i never saw or heard anything hit the windshield this time. it cost 1500 dollars to repair it last time, which was four months ago.its going to get expensive if this keeps up. i have no idea how this occurred.
Windshield struck (minor with minimal depth penetration) by material running on interstate. within 15 minutes, crack began and was over 16". vehicle parked for 8 days. windshield has crack over 3' long now. windshield star should've been quick easy fix instead the windshield is either faulty or installed in bind.
Windshield was damaged beyond repair at only 250 miles. replacement windshield took 6 weeks. glass seems to be thin or more prone to damage. vehicle was traveling at approximately 45 mph on a two-lane road and was hit by some sort of debris from a vehicle going in the opposite direction. did not see the debris before it struck the window.
Windshield cracks easily. 2 weeks after purchase in aug, when on a clean no construction area on i 85, heard a pop and cracked windshield. not happened in more than 25 years across more than 3 cars we won at one time.
It seems as if the windshields on the kia telluride are sub par. there is an abundance of cracked windshields with this very new car, more than average. my own windshield obtained a starburst crack right in the line of vision for the driver. being in alaska, i expect this to quickly spread. we heard a small tap prior to the windshield cracking while we were driving. maybe something to look into.
Cracked windshield. a pebble hit to windshield just below the front facing camera at 75 mph speed. no immediate crack, only chip. car parked outside at texas heat (+100f) and crack spread almost through windshield within 48 h.
Windshield cracked on day 1 before even taking delivery of car. not a safe windshield to drive with.
While driving down the highway going maybe 45 mph, something flew up and hit the windshield causing a large chip and spiderweb to form immediately. whatever hit the windshield was so small i never saw it. this has happened plenty of other times in other vehicles without causing any damage.
Driving on highway and did not even hear or see anything hit the windshield. if it did it was minor and should not have caused the damage of a crack that spread across the windshield. i have driven a 2018 ford explorer , 2016 gmc yukon, and 2019 gmc acadia when something had hit the windshield that can be seen and heard with barely any damage or damage that is simply filled/sealed. please review to see if other complaints similar to this are in the database for this new entry 2020 kia telluride. i like everything else about this vehicle but this. they also stated it would be 2-8 weeks before a windshield will be available to install from kia.
As i was driving down the highway today, a small rock came up and hit my windshield. it was very small and should not have damaged my windshield. i ended up with a large crack in my windshield.

Small pebble hit car windsheild on top left corner. planning on pulling over to access situation. then notice a crack that would not stop until it reached the review mirror. i called kia corporate to report and they are aware that the 2020 telluride are having windshield cracking problems but will not repair if caused by pebble. only if stress crack. i have heard of to many problems with the 2020 telluride windshield and think they need to investigate issue further for safety reasons.
We bought our 2020 kia telluride 7-3-2019 & on 7-11-2019 our windshield broke from a small rock while driving 35 mph today from a passing car. i have heard of 100s of other customers having the same issue with these inferior windshield windows with poor unsafe production.
Chip and crack in windshield. unsure when it occurred, but i never heard something hit windshield. most likely it happened while car was parked in parking lot.
Three days after we purchased a 2020 telluride i found a cracked in the bottom center of the windshield. i couldn't find any chip that might have started the crack, it just appeared the next morning . the car was parked under the carport so nothing could have fallen on the windshield. contacted the dealer and they were no help at all, insurance had to pay. safelite auto glass had to wait eight weeks for kia to ship a new windshield. i asked the installer to look at the crack area and see if he could find a cause that would start this crack. he explained to me that any rock or foreign object strike will leave an indentation with some spider marks, he found none? his prognosis was, it was struck on the bottom edge when assembled and closing the door hard would flex the windshield and that started the crack. it has been one month and i already have another small chip. i have replaced one windshield in forty something years, doesn't very look good for telluride owners, something is wrong?
The windshield cracked very easily from a small object that came up from the roadway, when a large truck passed us. the car had only 1100 miles at the time. the vehicle was in motion, and on the highway.
