2022 Kia Telluride Structure

While driving our 2022 Kia Telluride under normal operating conditions, the panoramic sunroof glass suddenly and spontaneously shattered outward with a loud explosion-like noise. The sunroof was fully closed at the time of the explosion. There was no impact with any object, no debris strike, no road hazard, and no external cause observed. Weather conditions were clear, traffic was normal, and the vehicle was traveling at a normal speed. The failure occurred without warning. There were no prior cracks, chips, noises, warning lights, or messages before the incident. A large hole immediately formed in the sunroof glass, and glass fragments fell into the vehicle and were caught by the shade. The sudden shattering and loud noise scared the driver and passengers and created an immediate safety hazard, requiring us to pull over right away. Occupants were placed at risk of injury from falling glass and sudden driver distraction. For safety reasons, loose and hanging glass was removed after stopping the vehicle. At the time of this report, the vehicle has not yet been inspected by a Kia dealer, manufacturer representative, or independent service center, as the incident occurred recently (we have an appointment in two days). The remaining sunroof components and vehicle are available for inspection upon request. This appears to be a sudden and spontaneous glass failure occurring during normal vehicle operation.

White Paint Chipping prematurely

Sunroof glass exploded while traveling down the interstate at 75 MPH. All occupants were covered in broken glass but there were no injuries. All of the windows were closed at the time, and the sunroof was not struck by a foreign object or anything. Definitely could have caused an eye injury or triggered an accident. It sounded like a shot gun blast. The vehicle is out of warranty so I'm going to report it myself and not waste time with Kia.

The paint on the front of vehicle is peeling on both sides under the hood. The color is Glacial white

Back seat locks repeatedly engage and disengage when activating childproof lock. This is intermittent and since dealership couldn't get it to occur they wouldn't fix it. Today it happened again. There are multiple reports online regarding this issue with 2020-2022 Palisades and Telluride. This is a huge safety issue and makes the childproof locks completely unreliable.

Sunroof wind deflector snapped and made the whole sunroof off track. Unable to open or close.

Windshield cracked without even being hit by debris. Large crack. Less than 9k miles on the car

I have a 2022 Telluride I purchased from the dealer in May/22 and after 3 months the windshield cracked starting from the bottom corner of driver side almost across the entire windshield. The crack happened while the car was parked in the garage overnight, I found later a small chip maybe caused by a pebble. I did some reasearch online and this same problem has been reported multiple times on Kia forums. I talked to the dealer and they said this is not covered by manufacturing warranty.

Purchased on February 10, 2022 after driving a week windshield cracked, traveling at 40mph on city street.
