I purchased the vehicle on XXX, with approximately 124,000 miles. An oil and filter change was performed shortly before the sale.  After about 2,000 miles/126K, the vehicle suddenly lost power and stopped. It was towed to a repair shop, where technicians found the engine oil level was extremely low or empty, despite no low-oil warning light appearing. The oil was serviced, and the vehicle was returned to operation.  About 3,000/129K miles later, the vehicle again lost power and stopped in Ardmore TX. It was road side mobile mechanic found little to no oil and he refill the oil.  After 100 miles/129.1K again same problem engine stopped and no oil. was towed to the same shop, where technicians found little to no oil and diagnosed severe engine damage requiring engine replacement. Mechanic informed there was no oil leak from the engine however, excessive oil burning in engine causing this issue.  My concern is safety. On all three occasions, the vehicle lost power on the freeway at night while my family with two kids was in the vehicle.

The root cause is excessive oil consumption documented by an independent repair shop well before the 100,000-mile powertrain warranty expired. At 81,207 miles, during a routine oil change, the mechanic checked oil level before draining and found nothing on the dipstick. Only about 3 quarts drained from an engine with 6.9-quart capacity, meaning nearly 4 quarts were consumed since the last change. This finding repeated at 88,408 miles, with the shop documenting it was the second time oil was critically low. Both events occurred within the powertrain warranty. Original invoices are available for inspection. At no point during ownership did the vehicle display any warning \u2014 no low oil level indicator, no low oil pressure warning, no check engine light \u2014 despite oil levels falling dangerously low on multiple documented occasions. The absence of any driver alert while the engine operated with less than half its required oil is a serious safety deficiency. The engine failed on while driving with passengers including three young children, causing complete loss of power and requiring an emergency pullover. Loss of engine power at speed creates serious crash risk. The vehicle was serviced at an authorized Kia dealer at 60,449 miles where a 60K service, multi-point inspection, and recall SC243B were performed. The dealer made no mention of oil consumption, did not reference TSB ENG222 (addressing excessive consumption across multiple Kia engine families), and did not perform an oil consumption test. Kia Consumer Affairs refused to submit a goodwill claim and closed the case, citing incomplete oil change documentation \u2014 despite the defect being documented within warranty.

I took it into the nearest Oil change company, and they informed me that the oil was completely out and dry. I always stay up to date with my oil changes, so this was a huge shock.  There was no light that ever came on stating an oil concern and there was no light that came on even when the engine stalled.

When completed they stated I was within the \"standard\" oil consumption levels. I asked why the car didn't even have an oil light or engine light come on as a warning and they had no answers for me. Had a light come on I would've taken it to be looked at prior to having the engine stall on me which was a major safety issue. Fast forward, I ended up and purchased another car and gave the Telluride to my husband. I drive a lot for work and he doesn't, so it made more sense to help with the oil. We are now having to put at least 3 quarts of oil in it in between oil changes. And he has still experienced the engine puttering. Both times with our kids in the car, steering becomes difficult and he has to pull off the road. Once he turns it off and restarts, it seems to be fine. Another mechanic told us that they anticipate a recall to come out with the 2021 Telluride soon since they have already recalled previous years for the same issues. It is absurd to have to put in 3 quarts of oil in between oil changes. The fact that no warning lights have ever come on is safety concern. The car randomly stalling is a safety concern.

I have our local mechanic handle maintenance and service.  After paying $1,400 for a tune up to address misfiring, we quickly concluded the transmission was shot and my engine was burning theough every drop of oil before it was due for a change.  I went to Kia of Des Moines, since it is covered under a 200k/20-year warranty.   They replaced the transmission under warranty, I shared my mechanic details for records, and they told me they were going to do an oil consumption test.  They sent me on my way, asking for me to return after 1,000 miles.  I did (and then my car began shaking, but we thought it was due to snow conditions) and they quickly said, \"Yes, it is an issue!\"  My Telluride burned through almost 2.5 quarts of oil in 1,000 miles.  I left on 12/15, being told they would have direction from Kia corporate on next steps and acknowledged I need a vehicle loaner during repairs (single disabled mother, who has to travel safely).  I did not hear back, chasing for updates.  Yesterday, Steven text me saying I would need to authorize $1,600 engine tear down fee in order to confirm issue.  I asked for Denny, the manager to contact me.  I also called Kia Care, who said it is up to dealer.  I am seeing so many issues with Tellurides burning oil.  And, I do not have $1,600 to make my vehicle safe - that amount would make me sacrifice my home or another necessity.  Google said to fight it and to submit a form to you also.  I have to fight this because I have no other choice than to sell an organ.  I will stock up on oil to keep filling it so my engine doesn't blow up, but have incredible fear of being stranded and not being able to get my vehicle towed or us home safely.  If there is anything you can assist with, I appreciate it.  I just found out my parent's 2023 telluride is burning too much oil too - they haven't got the $1,600 sticker, but I know that amount will wreck them also.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"TELLURIDE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11707249,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"12/25/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"12/27/2025","vin":"5xyp34hc8mg","components":"STRUCTURE","summary":"The plastic arms of the sunroof deflector assembly broke.

There are no leaks in the driveway.  On January 8th (87,000 miles), I took the Kia Telluride for service at Mission Viejo Kia for a Check Engine light. They said the car had low oil and indicated that the cause was a leaking oil housing.  They completed an oil change and added new oil. On February 19th (90,000 miles), the AC drain was clogged and water was entering the passenger side inside the vehicle.  In addition to this fix, Mission Viejo Kia noted that the oil level was down to 1/2 quart. This was only 3000 miles since the last oil change. On April 6th (95,000) completed another oil change at Ramona Tire, where I was getting new brakes.  They did note very low oil.  June 24th (96,600 miles), the Telluride started rattling and stalling at lights.  Upon inspection, Mission Viejo Kia determined it was due to low oil again.   July 9th (98,000 miles) I inspected the oil dipstick and saw barely any oil.  I took it to Mission Viejo Kia and it is currently awaiting direction from Kia Corporate for the next steps.  This was only 2000 miles after the most recent oil change. There was no oil leaking in the driveway.

My  Telluride is a 2021 and only had roughly 37,000 miles on it, and I believe it is important to notate that I\u2019ve never had any issues with this car since purchasing it. However, on this particular day, as I was driving down the interstate the entire window located on the drivers side at the rear back seat shattered. I thought someone may have hit me but as I pulled over there was no evidence of any damage besides the window shattering. There was no sign of rocks, material, or anything that would have caused the shatter. I called the police prior to examining the vehicle who stated that the window appeared to have shattered at its own discretion and therefore they could not file a police report. I did however pay to have the window replaced, and pay to have glass removed from every inch of my car as the glass shattered everywhere. The biggest concern was that the chunks of glass/shatters were mostly in my one year old daughters car seat. The police stated that if she was in her car seat at the time of the window \u201cexplosion\u201d she would have been severely injured or even possibly death due to the large amount of glass. As a driver of the vehicle, I myself had pieces of glass fly into my arms while I was driving, but I thank God my Duaghter was not in the car with me that day. Not only is this harmful to the driver or passengers but also harmful to other drivers as it could have caused an accident. I am still nervous to this day about having my kids in my telluride as I never know if the window may shatter. This is a worry I never had before and believe this is worth investigating. I never had any signs, warning lights, or any warning of this event, as I was simply driving, heard a loud boom and realized the window had shattered and glass was everywhere.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"TELLURIDE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11554332,"manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"09/15/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"11/09/2023","vin":"5XYP34HC1MG","components":"STRUCTURE,VISIBILITY","summary":"The sunroof got stuck in the open position.

I was driving the vehicle on city street, roughly 35-40mph when I got the Xmas tree of death light up on the dashboard (all the indicators went crazy), and a slight loss of power with engine and transmission. I shifted the gear shifter into manual so I could at least control the car and make it safely back home. Once I parked, I shut off the car and then turned it back on. The indicator lights turned off, however the check engine light stayed on. I swapped out the battery for a new one and that fixed the problem for a few hours until later that day the same thing happened again. At this point I know there is something more happening electronically that is not right. Hence the problem: The UB module assembly behind the dashboard needs to be replaced because it is defective (full disclosure, this is what I believe to be the issue, but will be scheduling appointment with dealer to have them look). Ah, but thank goodness for the Telluride forum that has brought to my attention many issues that I also experience with my vehicle.
