2021 Kia TELLURIDE - POWER TRAIN Failure Complaint (#b0c542)

2021 Kia TELLURIDE

  • Date of Incident: Apr-01, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-23, 2024
  • Failed components: POWER TRAIN

Vehicle has a vibration at 60-75 miles per hour. It's a rhythmic vibration that you can feel in the gas pedal and sense in the front of the vehicles drivetrain. Kia has a tsb about this issue. Kia tsb 099. But our vehicle is past the 60k mile warranty period that would protect it. Kia knows that some cars manufactured between the start of production and february 2021 have this issue. They know which production lots of the affected parts have the issue, yet they refuse to make it a recall issue. Anyone who is unlucky enough to lapse the warranty period is such with a detective part that kia is fully aware of. The issue is so difficult to diagnose, i had to go to two dealerships to even get an answer about what the issue might be and that the warranty will not cover it.
