Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The Brakes on this car had a failure. As the car was approaching a stop, the pedal went to the floor without any notable slowing of the vehicle. Fortunately, there was not a car immediately in front my Telluride or approaching from the side, so there was no impact. The car was then towed to the Robert Brogden Olathe, Kia and inspected. They reported that the ABS light was on and that their was air in the brake line. Using a manual bleeding procedure, the air was removed, but they have not found how their air got into the line during the last mile. Obviously, Root Cause for the air getting into the sealed system must be identified for this car to be considered safe to drive. We took delivery of this vehicle on [XXX] with fewer than 50 miles on the odometer and it was inspected and tested for 100% of all systems fully operational. During the first 700+ miles, the brakes worked perfectly. Kia Service ticket it [XXX]. Kia Customer Service Case Number [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

STRUCTURE:BODY
Potential Consequences:
Subject: Urgent Safety Concern Regarding 2024 Kia Telluride – Defective Trim/Molding Adhesive Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), I am writing to report a significant safety concern regarding my 2024 Kia Telluride. Specifically, the horizontal trim/molding located under the windows has defective adhesive, causing these pieces to detach from the vehicle. I am deeply concerned that if these pieces fall off while I am driving, especially on the highway, they could potentially strike another vehicle, leading to an accident. I have brought this issue to the attention of Kia, and they are aware of the problem. In fact, the necessary parts are currently on back order, which indicates that Kia recognizes the widespread nature of the defect. However, despite this acknowledgment, no interim solution has been provided. At this point, I have had to resort to using tape, at my own expense, to temporarily secure the trim pieces and prevent them from falling off. This situation is not only an inconvenience but also poses a serious safety risk to myself and others on the road. My question is: who would bear the liability if a piece were to detach and cause damage or injury to another driver? I believe that Kia, knowing about this defect, should be taking proactive measures to prevent such incidents from occurring. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue, as it needs to be escalated due to the potential danger it presents to public safety. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Potential Consequences:
On multiple occasions, the forward automatic breaking system has forced the breaks to turn on when there was no potential collision, causing the car to auto break/slow down in the flow of traffic and nearly get rear ended. The collision warning system triggers and the breaks quickly come on, out of my/the driver’s control. It has happened multiple times with family members in the car including young kids/infants/while I was pregnant and getting rear ended would be very dangerous. I’ve taken the vehicle to the dealership twice and have been told they are unable to replicate the issue and therefore unable to help.
