2020 Kia Telluride acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The car was on cruise control at 70mph but cruising behind another car at 65 when suddenly the car started approaching the car in front of us at high speed.
The vehical will not accelerate at freeway speeds and the engine RPM increases up to 6000 RPM with no or little acceleration when the gas peddle is depressed.. This also occurs at lower speeds, no or little acceleration while the engine RPM increases to 5000 RPM visible on the tachometer and heard from the engine noise. The transmission appears to be slipping or down shifting to many gears for the amount of fuel demand. The dealership witnessed this problem during a test drive and I showed them a vidio of the speedometer versus the tach reading while this problem was occurring. It has been 3 months and kia still has no fix for this problem. It has nearly caused an accedent on one occation and a near miss headon colission while driving thru oregon and trying to pass in a passing lane, on a vacation drive. This problem has persisted since day one of the vehical purchas and has been in for service of the problem on 3 occasions. Kia dealer says kia has no known fix.
