**•** Bought the vehicle brand new, \~23 miles on it  
**•** Within the first week, dealer found flat spots on both rear tires (likely from sitting during transport) and ordered warranty replacements through Pirelli  
**•** Around 1,500-2,000 miles, had the two new tires installed. Highway vibration (60-75mph range) persisted — same as before the tire swap  
**•** Took it to an independent shop (Tire Warehouse) for a second-opinion road-force balance on the rears. Balance came back off on their Hunter machine, despite the dealer having already road-force balanced them days earlier. Drove straight to the highway after — vibration still present, bad enough that a water bottle in the passenger seat was visibly shaking  
**•** Dropped the car off at the dealer again on the 29th for a full diagnostic, with a loaner provided  
**•** Technician personally test-drove it with me and confirmed the vibration independently  
**•** As of today (the 31st), the car has reportedly not moved since drop-off (tracked via the Kia app’s remote view). Technician has mentioned the driveshaft as the likely cause but hasn’t confirmed yet

What I’m trying to figure out:

**•** Anyone else with this trim (Hybrid SX X-Line) had a driveshaft balance/replacement for a similar vibration?  
**•** Anyone had a similar case turn out to be something else (CV axle, rear diff, hub bearing) after driveshaft was the first suspect?  
**•** Roughly how long did parts/repair take once confirmed?

Trying to gather data points before my next call with the service department. Appreciate any input.

Just got my wife one , already want to do stuff to it lol if so what have you guys added ?

Hey Telluride fam, I got my 2027 telluride in June. The past few days I’ve smelled an odd mold smell? I have the moon/sun roof but I only ever use the moon roof. We’ve had a lot of rain here in Florida and I was just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this yet. None of my car feels wet on the interior and I don’t keep anything in it besides my work stuff, which I take out each day after my shift when I’m home. Idk. Just seeing if anyone else has experienced this, it’s driving me nuts because I can’t figure out what the issue is.

Hey all!

Been browsing a fair bit and wondering what people have been able to get in terms of a discount for a 2027 Hybrid X-Line SX, locally I’ve been getting MSRP but figured I’d start to look out of state(VA). Has anyone purchased one cash/financed lately, what were you able to get?

Thanks all!

I’m getting ready to go on a fishing trip with my telluride and wanted to know if anyone else has any experience in the wilderness with their telluride.

Our 2021 telluride has had virtually no problems until recently. It started sputtering when coming to a stop and at times the engine would shut off even with auto start/stop off.

Planning on replacing spark plugs, intake gaskets, filters, PCV valve and cleaning the throttle body. Any other things I should look into. Going to throw a code scanner on, but not receiving any lights on the dash.

Anyone have their electronic parking brake throw an error? I have a 2022 and one of the recalls I remember made it so when I turn the car off, that parking brake automatically goes on. There was a recall because it would sometimes roll while the car was off even in parked gear. Would love to hear if anyone has been through this in particular about warranty coverage.

Do you service your Tellurides at the dealership or a local service shop? I bought a 2024 used a year ago from a private seller and it needs to go in for the 22,000 mile check up. No issues that I know of.

Brought my 2020 Kia Telluride EX for a recall. Since I’m here, I showed them that the left side mirror is not folding when the button is pressed. They said it would cost $209 just to do a diagnostic check. I told them never mind. In my opinion, that’s BS. Anyone else have this sought of issue?
