2022 Kia Telluride Electrical System

The infotainment system, which also allows for use of backup cameras and safety alerts went black and has ceased working. Despite a technician diagnosing it to see if it was a simple fix. It looks like a complete malfunction of the unit.

Driver LCD screen went blank

Upon starting car, digital odometer cluster is blank. While the cluster is down, the gas tank cap is also unable to be opened. In researching on Google/kia forums, the fix has been to turn off the car, lock the doors and then unlock and restart the car. This is a 2022 and has happened approximately six times since purchase, the most recent time being today’s date again, the Kia forum suggested fix worked to remedy the problem today. Unable to “log these” with the dealership, unless it is brought in for service, but as the online remedy works, no service appointment is needed and therefore cannot on the spot replicate the issue as it randomly occurs. Unaware that these incidents could be logged on this site to establish potential patterns outside previous recalls for same issue.

The door locks will continually cycle to unlock on their own for up-to 90 seconds and then an error reads in the dashboard "child safety lock failure." Once that error occurs, the rear doors can be opened from the inside or outside of the vehicle when the child safety lock should be properly functioning. This error has been occurring for more than two years, and we have video of it occurring on many occasions. The dealership will not resolve the error unless they witness the error occurring. We've had it at service at least six times and they claim they cannot duplicate the error. The error occurs daily when the car is in our possession. I have researched this and found many Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade owners who have experienced the same problem and it is always traced to the rear door lock actuators being faulty.

The dashboard display went blank while driving down the highway. I could not see my speed, fuel level, or and engine performance indicator lights. I called Kia and found there was a recall for this problem but NOT FOR MY VIN. Well, I have the same dangerous issue as those included in the recall, so I think my vehicle should be recalled immediately. Thank you.

Battery indicator began intermittently flashing on the dash. Then the car shut off mid turn in an intersection with my young kids in the car. Everything shut off without warning including power steering, ABS and so on. Luckily no one crashed into the car

On two occasions, so far, I have experienced a blank instrument cluster display screen that did not show critical information, including the odometer, transmission gear position, and digital speedometer which could increase the risk of a crash and fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101 The first picture is of the first incident which occurred on [XXX] which shows the blank screen. The second picture was taken on the same date after the screen came back on after driving a short distance and shutting off and restarting the vehicle. The third picture was taken earlier this month on [XXX] showing a new occurrence of a blank screen. Both incidents were reported, including the dates and pictures, when the vehicle was taken to the dealer (Destination Kia in Albany, NY) but the dealer stated that they could do nothing as the problem was not present at the times the vehicle has been there for service and the manufacturer (Kia) indicates that there is no applicable repair or recall to this vehicle. Three pages of a post to a Kia Telluride Owners Facebook page in which an owner posted a picture of a black screen an owner posted yesterday [XXX] showing a picture of the black screen she experienced on her 2022 Telluride and asking if others have experienced this problem. Other forum members responded with their experiences with some saying a cluster replacement was necessary as called for in Recall [XXX] which another responded that a software update resolved the problem per Recall [XXX].

A blank instrument cluster display will not show critical information, such as tire pressure, warning messages, and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash. Same as the 2023 Telluride recall affecting my 2022 (NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V298000)

Screens remain black on start up. Unable to read USB

ESC check failure.

Instrument Cluster A blank LCD display may be missing information, such as the digital speedometer, gear selection indicator, and odometer, which may increase the risk of a crash.

The contact owned a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the odometer became inoperable. Additionally, the contact stated while driving 60 MPH in the rain, the front and side sensors started beeping and the automatic headlights turned off. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the instrument cluster needed to be rewired. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was traded for another vehicle. The contact related the failure NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V344000 (Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.

Instrument cluster, not working or intermittently working

Blank instrument cluster same as NHTSA Campaign # 22V344000. This issue started happening about 2 weeks ago and has happened approximately 5 times so far.

The instrument panel that displays the mileage, and other things you can select with the mode such as tire pressure, fuel economy, range remaining on the tank of gas goes blank. The main instrument panel display randomly goes out from the moment it starts to the end of that drive, most of the time it works but some drives it's completely blank the entire time, rather you restart several times or not.

On 12/09/22, the center lcd instrument cluster went blank 2 different times while my wife was driving. Vehicle has 2200 miles on it. Kia issued a recall in May 2022 for this exact issue but only covered roughly 2700 vehicles. This vehicle does not have an active recall and was produced after the issue was supposedly fixed at the kia factory. Obvious safety issue and clearly affects more than the 2700 vehicles already recalled.

Instrument cluster goes blank. “Data error” message displays. Speedometer stops working. Fuel gauge goes to “empty”. Compass displays the opposite of what is true (says I’m going north when actually traveling south). Warning message (voice and display on map) giving me a dangerous warning that I’m traveling north while in a southbound lane. No speedometer puts me and others at risk. Problem has been reproduced at dealership on 7/20/2022. No prior symptoms or warning lights when problem first occurred with 300 miles on the odometer. Created a case number with KIA on 6/23/2022 (14889564). This problem seems very similar if not exactly like NHTSA campaign number 22V344000 and KIA recall number SC237. KIA seems to be dragging their feet in fixing this dangerous problem. It’s been very difficult getting any answers on when they will fix the problem. I could use your help. This issue has occurred 9 times in 8 weeks.

Upon starting my vehicle morning of 6/16/22 the LCD CLUSTER DISPLAY showed “system check” with the scan of the picture of the SUV then screen went to black. I attempted to restart the vehicle and it did the same thing. I took the vehicle directly to dealer and rep saw the blank display. In addition apple car play stopped working. On 6/20 rep informed me that everything was working and tech was unable to duplicate the problem. There’s obviously something faulty with the vehicle. The car has less than 5500 miles and dealer said since they were unable to duplicate the problem there’s nothing to repair but if it happens again to take it back in. This issue prevents me from being able to see odometer and if I have to wait for a tech to get around to looking at it I risk the chance of the problem temporarily fixing itself before the tech looks at it.

While driving the car, the speedometer on the car read 0, the entire drive. It would not register how fast or slow I was going. I tried turning off the car and turned it back on, it continued to not read my speed. I have video of the entire incident, but it looks like I can't download video to this site.

After taking my car back to the dealership and speaking to KIA USA about my instrument panel going blank randomly, now my blinker arrow lights have stopped working randomly. This is a safety issue even more than the instrument panel because my blinker can be on without me being aware, which could lead to another car pulling out in front of me if they assume I am turning. I was driving for a while today before I realized that my blinker panel lights had turned off and I had been driving with the blinker on. This occurrence has happened twice now within the last week.

The contact's wife owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated while his wife was reversing, the instrument panel became inoperable. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that as his wife turned off and restarted the vehicle, the instrument panel lights illuminated; however, the failure returned after a while. The contact stated that the failure had been occurring intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. Additionally, the dealer informed the contact that they could not repair the vehicle under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V577000 (Electrical System) since the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,200.

Instrument panel is not functioning, vehicle is currently at service center waiting for replacement part to determine if this will correct all issues which includes gear shift light indicator not working, voice command stating “turn around you are entering the wrong way” randomly while driving and the instrument panel. Initially the instrument panel screen would alternate between working fine to intermittently being partly or fully snowy before it would go completely dark. This pattern continued until mid May when it went completely dark and has stayed this way. Although there is no recall at this time on my specific vehicle I’m concerned that this ongoing issue could potentially caused me harm while driving.

Bought a new 2022 Kia telluride July 26, 2021. on July 27 the LCD instrument cluster went black. I only had the car one day. Came back from the store started the car and it worked. A new car should not have this problem. In the Kia forums many have also had this same problem.

Instrument panel located between the speedometer and tachometer which shows information such as MPH, tire pressure, miles remaining, etc. intermittently goes blank. When you start the car, it shows a system check then goes blank. This does not happen every time but it happens frequently (once per day). If you shut the car off and open the door, it usually fixes the issue the next time you start the car. This issue began the day after I purchased the car new.

UNKNOWN: LCD Cluster Instrument Display went black after purchasing the car for 1 day.
