UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

A small rock hit my window recently causing a small indent. The next morning three other cracks (each over a foot long), appeared. The new cracks didn’t come from the rock indent. Just started at random spots and within a couple hours connected. Doesn’t seem very safe and seems like the glass wouldn’t protect my family and I in a collision. Seems like it would just collapse in on us. It also makes it unsafe to drive by impeding our vision. Vehicle component has not been inspected but is available to upon request. No warning signs have been transmitted. Problem with faulty windshields has not been confirmed by dealer.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated while driving 3-5MPH and making a left turn, the brake pedal was depressed but bounced back immediately and failed to respond. The traction control, the Auto Hold feature, and the forward collision avoidance warning lights were illuminated. The message "Forward Collision Sensor" was displayed. The contact depressed the brake pedal for a second time but the failure persisted, causing the vehicle to hit the rear of another vehicle. The contact stated it was a fender-bender. The air bags did not deploy. The contact did not sustain any injuries. The contact was unsure whether the occupants of the other vehicle sustained injuries. There was no police report filed. The contact was able to drive to his nearby residence. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they would send an investigation team to investigate the failure. However, the investigation team investigated the failure remotely. The dealer later informed the contact that the rear wheel speed sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Rear driver's side wheel speed sensor began to fail intermittently at 10K miles (confirmed and replaced under warranty by dealership, no longer have access to the failed part but can provide dealer contact info). This failure resulted in braking not working correctly – presumably ABS system would read a 0 RPM reading from the one wheel, which then led to ABS triggering at maximum strength for all wheels. The first time this occurred I was approaching a stop sign at approximately 20 MPH on dry pavement and was entirely unable to stop, rolling approximately 50 feet before the computer disabled ABS entirely and I was able to use mechanical brakes to stop. (In subsequent incidents I triggered the same failure in my driveway at extremely low speeds before getting onto a public road.) The following dashboard lights came on after each incident: Auto Hold, Auto Stop-Start, Forward Collision Assist, ABS, Traction Control, and Master Warning. No lights were on prior to brake failure. While the computer registered that the wheel speed sensor was not working mechanical brakes worked correctly (albeit with no stability control or ABS). However, occasionally the system would reset (after turning off / on the vehicle enough times or driving enough distance) at which point dashboard warning lights would turn off and brakes would again stop working reliably (ABS would trigger prematurely). My experience appears to not be an isolated incident: https://www.kiatelluride.org/threads/brakes-failing.1653/. Proposed fix: If wheel speed sensor is sending no data, ABS computer should fail open (assume the wheel is turning unless data from the sensor explicitly indicates otherwise). If the sensor is unable to differentiate between no signal and 0 RPM it should be re-engineered.

Rear driver's side wheel speed sensor began to fail intermittently at 10K miles (confirmed and replaced under warranty by dealership, no longer have access to the failed part but can provide dealer contact info). This failure resulted in braking not working correctly – presumably ABS system would read a 0 RPM reading from the one wheel, which then led to ABS triggering at maximum strength for all wheels. The first time this occurred I was approaching a stop sign at approximately 20 MPH on dry pavement and was entirely unable to stop, rolling approximately 50 feet before the computer disabled ABS entirely and I was able to use mechanical brakes to stop. (In subsequent incidents I triggered the same failure in my driveway at extremely low speeds before getting onto a public road.) The following dashboard lights came on after each incident: Auto Hold, Auto Stop-Start, Forward Collision Assist, ABS, Traction Control, and Master Warning. No lights were on prior to brake failure. While the computer registered that the wheel speed sensor was not working mechanical brakes worked correctly (albeit with no stability control or ABS). However, occasionally the system would reset (after turning off / on the vehicle enough times or driving enough distance) at which point dashboard warning lights would turn off and brakes would again stop working reliably (ABS would trigger prematurely). My experience appears to not be an isolated incident: https://www.kiatelluride.org/threads/brakes-failing.1653/. Proposed fix: If wheel speed sensor is sending no data, ABS computer should fail open (assume the wheel is turning unless data from the sensor explicitly indicates otherwise). If the sensor is unable to differentiate between no signal and 0 RPM it should be re-engineered.

WHEELS

Potential Consequences:

We have taken the vehicle in to Zeigler kia twice to complain about a clicking noise athat sounds like it around the tire area. Neither time has the issue been resolved. We have also taken the vehicle in for a recall that possibly could be related to the sensors being inoperable. This issue has yet to be resolved as well. They are quite unhelpful even making us stay on hold for over 30 minutes to try and speak to a representative. I would like to get the issue resolved as it sometimes sounds like a tire may disconnect.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

Driving on the freeway and my sunroof window exploded. It was mid thirty degrees, so the sunroof window was not in use. There was no traffic on the freeway or overpasses, No cars directly in front. We were startled and looked around and heard the noise of broken glass above us. I am planning on taking it into the dealer on Monday. No warning lights or sounds were seen or heard.
