Windshield on other Telluride years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2025, 2027.
What this problem usually is
Many windshield complaints are about cracks owners can't explain: a line that starts at the edge of the glass, or a small chip that spreads. Nearly one in five of these complaints mentions it happening again or a second windshield.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the windshield (35 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the windshield and wipers covers the 2024 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.

“My windshield just split across the driver side in my brand new 2024. I just made the first payment last week. My 2021 did the same thing and had 11 different places it cracked. It's as if anything touches them they split!”

“After owning this brand new car for less than 2 months, I've had 2 rocks hit my windshield and resulting in cracks. Those rocks were not big and I wouldn't have expected those to result in actual windshield cracks. After looking this up, it seems that this is a common issues with Kia Telluride and that the quality of the windshields is not great.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 35 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
