Anonymous, TX (2024 Kia Telluride SX 3.8-L V6)"The door trim right below the window on the driver side and passenger side door came unglued. I was told the replacement parts were back ordered for approximately six months before the dealer finally replaced them. Im not certain but it think they actually took some off a car on the lot to put on mine! My driver rear door started to come loose so I just super glued it on instead of trying to go through KIA again!"

Anonymous, FL (2024 Kia Telluride X-Line 3.8-L V6)"Passenger door trim fell off. Brought to dealer, dealer said part was back ordered. After 3-6 months, still back ordered. I wrote directly to Kia on their website and got immediate case number and was directed to as to what to do. Kia corp rep, after calling again, said it had become a recall, as the adhesive was a problem. All along, I had the parts that fell off in my possession. They told me dealer now had replacement parts reserved for me, not where I bought Kia, which was another dealership. They replaced all 4 window trim pieces free of charge. We just got a recall notice about this window trim, but we are all fixed now."
