• RSK-KIA-S9200: 2020-2021 Kia Telluride / 5-Button Keyless Entry Remote / PN: 95440-S9200 / TQ8-FOB-4F34 (OEM)
  FCC ID: TQ8-FOB-4F34

The blind spot warning light doesn't work all the time. I have read through the kia owners manual and couldn't find an explanation for the malfunction. I have tested in local and highway driving both low and high speed during good days and nights. Warning only comes up sometimes, then stops and comes back only after vehicle restart, then repeats the issue.

Located a crack on my windshield. The crack is below the windshield wipers towards the bottom and below the line of the hood. No bullseye nor a stone chip mark. Crack is about an inch long. Saw on kia's website there were similar problems with the 2020 models. We've only owned the vehicle for about 4 months and have just over 6000 miles on it. No other signs of rock damage on entire vehicle.

My wife came out of her place of work and there was a six inch crack on our telluride windshield. She wasn't driving, it was just sitting in the parking lot. There are no signs of an impact like a rock chip or anything. The vehicle is three months old and has 4000 miles on it.

Very rare for me to have an issue with the windshield, but appears to have a rock chip while no indication of impact was heard. Others with same make/model also reflect this issue. Rock chip was repaired and this resolved the issue for now. Insurance covered all expenses of repair.

After 3 months the windshield has cracked by itself. No rocks signs, crack went from the top frame. We reported it to our dealer and scheduled an appointment for them to take a look.

Component: windshield safety risk: driver visibility problem reproduced: no inspected by others: no symptoms prior to failure: very small rock chip, size of a pencil eraser. I had a glass company come out to repair a rock chip on our 2021 sx, production date 03/21/2021. When the technician applied the suction or pressure to remove condensation from the chip the windshield cracked. The repairman is professional and experienced so i don't think this was malpractice. He had done hundreds of windshield repairs and never ran into something like this.

The car is less than a year old and the windshield has cracked. A small rock pebble bounced against the top of the windshield and minutes later a foot long crack was going down and across the windshield. The windshield is very poor quality. I’ve never had this issue with any vehicles in the past and they were much more durable. Im concerned that this front windshield will shatter before i’m able to have it replaced.

Driver's side window remained stuck open about 1 inch when driver rolled down window with slight tap on window switch driving motion at highway speeds. Window would not go up or down while in motion when using switch to open or close window even after coming to complete stop (on shoulder of road) and shutting down vehicle. Was able to fix when putting vehicle in accessory mode (not running or in motion) and place hands gently on both sides of window to gently move up to highest allowed position then close window with switch. This fixed the problem and window switch operated as usual. Vehicle mileage was around 3,100. We believe the cause is a safety sensor in the window switch component that detects obstruction in window which stops window from operating. Read other forums that stated window got stuck open at highway speeds and would not move. Their fix was to open sun roof and then shut drivers side window. This did not work for us.

I drove my brand new telluride off the lot with 11 miles on it. Before i gained speeds over 50mph my vehicle would jerk as it changed gears and the rpm increased. After i stopped at stop signs or red lights and then began to accelerate again, the car would jerk, the engine would rev up and no acceleration would happen. If i kept pressing the gas, eventually the car would jerk again, catch the gear and drive. This happened every single time i would stop and go again. Over speeds of 50-60mph i did not have this problem.
