Driving on highway in Dallas in high heat with no cars in front of me. Nothing appeared to hit Windshield or fly up but windshield cracked at very edge of drivers side and cracked at least 12 inches across within 5-10 minutes.

A small rock hit my window recently causing a small indent. The next morning three other cracks (each over a foot long), appeared. The new cracks didn-??t come from the rock indent. Just started at random spots and within a couple hours connected. Doesn-??t seem very safe and seems like the glass wouldn-??t protect my family and I in a collision. Seems like it would just collapse in on us. It also makes it unsafe to drive by impeding our vision. Vehicle component has not been inspected but is available to upon request. No warning signs have been transmitted. Problem with faulty windshields has not been confirmed by dealer.

The windshield has cracked in our vehicle. I cannot see any impact that would have caused a crack to form. It appears to be potential defect if the glass or type of glass used.

Driving slowly after just pulling onto a small road and a passing truck kicked up a very small pebble, it cracked the windshield with almost no impact mark, just left large cracks running across the windshield that spread another 5 inches or so having to drive the car to its destination since there was no one in that remote area to call, no cell service either. I have had many cars get their windshields hit much harder and have never gotten a crack ever, the Telluride windshield is known to be prone to cracking and Kia wont do anything about it. They claimed it was fixed when I asked before buying the car and it is definitely not since I see post after post on the telluride forums of other owners getting cracks sometimes on their first day of ownership.

I was driving and a small pebble hit my windshield from a truck traveling in the opposite direction. The crack spidered out slightly. After 1 hour it traveled halfway across the windshield in my line of vision. I believe this is a defect with the Tellurides thin windshield glass as a normal car windshield that was hit by a small pebble could have been repaired instead of having to be replaced due to traveling through the window.

3 days after receipt of my brand new 2022 Kia telluride I noticed a crack in the top of my winshield. After inspecting there was no visible chip and it started right at the top of the glass. A month the crack took over almost my entire windshield. Disappointed in the quality is an understatement.

Cracked windshield developed within hours and it was sitting in the driveway. I have not had this vehicle for more than 30 days only to find out this is a MAJOR issue I have to jump through hoops to fix. I was sold Ownershield (and sent them photos for review) and was told when sold that product that I could get the KIA windsheild replaced with KIA parts (they knew this would happen). But today I was informed by Ownershield that if I were to use Safelite my claim may not be covered...what a SCAM! It is like a sideways J, right in the middle of the windshield so it is messing with my visibility and is unsafe. No warning of anykind given even after starting up the car. KIA needs accountability on fixing these issues especially with theybare tacking on additional fees for 'shortages'.

Purchased 2022 Telluride Nightfall EX end of August and at the beginning of March and within about 6000 miles a small rock kicked up from a car caused a chip which spread to a large crack the next day. Dealership would not replace due to chip that wasn-??t even visible as it was in lower passenger corner of black area. Glad I purchased all the extra coverages offered by the dealer and paid more than MSRP due to an unsolicited dealer fee!
