Vehicle Information    •   Make: Kia    •   Model: Telluride    •   Year: 2022    •   Approx. Mileage: 30k 2. System Involved    •   Component/System: Forward Collision Avoidance, Automatic Emergency Braking, Brakes, or Electronic Stability Control 3. Incident Description On 6/7/25 while driving my 2022 Kia Telluride on neighborhood street in Windsor Park austin Texas at approximately 25-30 mph the vehicle suddenly and forcefully braked on its own with no warning and no visible obstacle or vehicle in front of me. This unexpected braking occurred under normal driving conditions, with clear weather and dry pavement, and almost caused a collision with the vehicle behind me. No warning lights appeared on the dashboard, and no manual braking was applied by me. I believe this may be related to known technical service bulletins SC243 and SC252 concerning faulty automatic braking logic and the hydraulic electronic control unit (HECU). This is a serious safety concern, and I am submitting this complaint in the hope that Kia will address this potential defect through recall or repair. There are reports similar to mine at highway speeds which would be deadly. 4. What Happened Next? I have contacted my local Kia dealership for inspection and plan to request that they document and diagnose the incident fully. Their online scheduler is showing next service appt not for over a week out which is not soon enough. I will call them first thing in the morning. I am also submitting this report to NHTSA to ensure that this is recorded as part of any ongoing safety investigation. Our vehicle was serviced within the last few months and we were assured there were no safety recalls on our vehicle. We would like this reevaluated.

My Kia Telluride backup camera and screen has become unusable with random colors, screen dark spots, blacking out, and pixelation. This is becoming a widespread problem according to multiple message board posts for Tellurides. I cannot use the backup camera. Most users are reporting Kia refuses to cover as a safety issues and is charging over $8000 to replace the entire infotainment system. There were no warnings, just starting happening randomly and is now seemingly permanent.

While driving approximately 40mph down straight roadway without anything around, the vehicle has unexpectedly slammed on the brakes. This has happened four times to date (11/13/24 - 12/25/24). During two of the instance's lights flashed on the dashboard and indicated the front right corner sensor of vehicle. During the other two occurrences, lights flashed on the dashboard and indicated the sensor at the rear right corner of vehicle, even though the vehicle was again traveling forward at approx. 40mph. In each case the brakes were unexpectedly applied very hard for several seconds before returning to normal. There were no other vehicles around and no dirt or other obstructions to the sensors. Vehicle was brought into dealer for diagnostics and was told they could not duplicate the concern. I asked the dealership to contact Kia for support and they refused. I then contacted Kia directly asking for assistance in getting this resolved. They responded that they rely on diagnostics from the dealership and only if the dealership can duplicate the issue will anything be done. This is an extremely dangerous drivability issue of which the dealer agrees. But since they have not witnessed it firsthand, no further action is being taken to attempt to find and/or replace whatever part is malfunctioning. In searching the NHTSA website, I see several complaints where individuals have experienced strikingly similar complaints (NHTSA # 11538285, 11485486, 11457515, 11457281, 11589381) with this vehicle.

Subject: Urgent Safety Complaint Regarding Recall Delays for My Kia Vehicle Dear National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, I am reaching out to file a safety complaint regarding an ongoing recall issue with my Kia vehicle that has not been addressed, despite multiple attempts to have it resolved. Kia has been aware of the necessary recall for several months, and I recently scheduled an appointment with my local dealership to address these recalls. Unfortunately, the dealership canceled my appointment the day before, citing that they still do not have the necessary parts to complete the repair. This situation has escalated to a serious safety hazard, not only for my family and me but for others around us. Recently, while my vehicle was parked at my child’s school, I experienced a malfunction that caused the vehicle to roll forward while still in park. I was momentarily unaware of the movement and was horrified to realize it almost struck a mother and her child who were exiting the school. This has been a frightening and deeply disappointing experience, and I am concerned about the lack of urgency from Kia in addressing this issue. I urge NHTSA to look into this matter and take action as needed to ensure that Kia expedites the resolution of these critical safety recalls. This issue cannot wait any longer, as it poses a serious risk to public safety. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [XXX] Phone: [XXX] Email: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The LCD screen in the instrument cluster/combimeter went blank.

The phenomena has only presented itseld twice (11/2023 and 3/2024). Certified Kia dealer stated there weren't any signs of failure. Service proceeded to perform a hard restart on the system. There is a similar recall for this phenomena (21V577000).

The gauge center behind the steering wheel will freeze every couple of weeks and will stay frozen until the car is shut off. After a few hours I can turn the car back on and it will work correctly. The speedometer analogue gauge will work but the digital screen will freeze. For instance, yesterday it was frozen on 23 MPH and I was in park! The issue this causes is that I cannot use the cruise control, change the display to view other info, the blind spot cameras don't work, or any other info displayed there. I have video and pics.

I’ve had numerous incidents where we were driving with adaptive cruise on and the vehicle will inexplicably engage the FCA system and slam on the brakes. This has occurred with no vehicles in front of me in clear conditions And had nearly caused a rear end collision.

The contact owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated while driving with the Lane Keep Assist activated in the Cruise Control mode, the vehicle inadvertently attempted to access the nearest exit independently. The contact also stated that while driving in manual mode at 55 MPH, the Lane Keep Assist jerked the steering wheel out of the driver's grip causing the vehicle to drift to the extreme left. The contact regained control by jerking the steering wheel in the opposite direction with excessive force. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who failed to accurately diagnose the vehicle. The contact was advised to disengage the cruise control feature while driving. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,500.

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.

The forward collision-avoidance assist, FCA is the main component that failed on me numerous times before inevitably ending in a car accident. The car is currently with my insurance company StateFarm, to assess the damage and to see if it was a total loss or not. They have had it since the accident that occurred back on August 20, 2022. The car had multiple electrical issues that unfortunately were temperamental as to when they would happen so because of that I started to take video on my phone when ever they did happen to show the dealership of the malfunction when it happened so they could see with their own eyes that there was a problem. I attempted to have the dealership fix it but the GM nicely said, "if it doesn't happen with us then it then it didn't really happen and we don't care if you have video or not! That's our policy so sorry about your luck!!!" it was the FCA and the lane keeping assistance that were the 2 main parts that malfunctioned that risked my safety and the safety of others. The FCA is what malfunctioned during the accident. It would randomly slam on the brakes as if I was about to hit something and the lights would flash and the beeping would sound each time it did this even though there was nothing around me. The other times it had done this to me prior it would only happen 1 time and then it would go back to normal but the date of the accident it continued to malfunction over and over again. There were sensors broken on the car from the moment i drove it off the lot back in April of 2022 and have had replaced. The FCA had been malfunctioning Since early June and I first reported it to Kia back on June 22nd 2022. Kia just sent me a letter confirming the FCA does malfunction but its to late now! I have so much more to report but not enough space to tell you everything! They could of helped me when I showed them proof but they didn't care. Their negligence risked my life and my children's lives!!!

DRIVING 2022 TELLURIDE ON HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE. FORWARD COLLISION WARNING ACTIVATED, INITIATED THE AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, WITHOUT ANY OBJECTS OR TRAFFIC AROUND. THE ACTIVATION WAS UNEXPECTED, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF REASON, SO MUCH SO I INSTINCTIVELY PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD WAY AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRONT BUMPER. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, AND HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERSHIP AND WAS SCHEDULED TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE SUDDEN PLUNGE OFF THE ROAD WAY ENDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN A SEVERE ANGLED DITCH AND I RAN OVER A METAL POST OR SOME OTHER OBJECTS IN THE DITCH WAY AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE.

The instrumentation screen in front of the drivers wheel goes out all black periodically on some startups. With it black, cannot tell what MPH / Gear / distance to empty / drivers mode, and none of the advanced drivers assist features work. One time it happened while on cruise control and just kept accelerating as if it didn't know what speed I was going. 2022 kia telluride. Many others same issue in the forums I'm in.
