Kia america, inc. Submitted a safety recall report on september 25, 2023, (nhtsa recall #23v-652) detailing the risk of an engine compartment fire due to an electrical short circuit of the hydraulic electronic control unit (hecu). I was notified on november 14, 2023, that my vehicle was subject to this recall and that i would be notified again when the remedy part (a new fuse) was available. Kia is recommending afffected owners park their vehicle outside and away from structures and other vehicles until the remedy part has been installed. This long-term exposure to the elements is causing undue wear and tear on various parts of my vehicle including paint, tires and headlights. It has been 5 months since i was made aware of the recall and nearly 7 months since the nhtsa was made aware and the remedy part is still not available. I believe kia has exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall remedy and that is why i am filing this complaint.
While driving on a large 4 lane highway, using the adaptive cruise control, the car automatically applied the brakes with no visible obstruction. From what i remember, no collision alarm or warning was given. Car rapidly decelerated, until i overrode by applying the gas. This happened three times, on the same road. Twice on one trip, and a third time a week later. All false activations occurred while road was at slight curve.
On saturday, april 13, 2024, while driving my 2021 kia telluride on i-35 from laredo to san antonio, texas, my husband (passenger) and i (driver) heard a loud, explosion-like sound. This made me swerve onto the other traveling lane. Thank god there were no vehicle near us or next to us because it would have been catastrophic. We quickly realized that our sunroof had exploded/shattered as we could hear all the shattered glass being blown away. Luckily, the sliding sunroof panel was closed and no glass went inside our vehicle. These must definitely get investigated since it is a public safety issue. Upon doing research, we learned that there are several other people that have experience this same issue with kia tellurides and it’s windshield/sunroof quality. I note that there was no vehicles near us and we were traveling 75 mph. Kia needs to recall this asap before there is a fatality!
