The contact owns a 2022 Kia Telluride. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds and while stopped, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted after each failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on several occasions, but the failure was not duplicated. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the ECM software needed to be updated. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred two days later. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer where it was diagnosed that the ECVVT motor was stuck and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred the following day with the battery warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while driving with a child inside the vehicle, the battery, power steering, Auto HOLD, Forward Collision Avoidance, ABS, traction control, and the master warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the "Check Blind Spot Collision System", "Check TPMS," "Check Lane Departure Warning System", and "Check ESC", messages were displayed. The contact stated that the steering wheel locked up. While the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle did not slow down as intended, causing the contact to temporarily lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle was coasted into a gas station parking lot, and the EPB, brake, seat belt, and collision warning lights were illuminated before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was then towed to the same dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the alternator failed and drained the battery, and both parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle has not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 82,093.

The contact stated while driving with the Lane Keep Assist activated in the Cruise Control mode, the vehicle inadvertently attempted to access the nearest exit independently. The contact also stated that while driving in manual mode at 55 MPH, the Lane Keep Assist jerked the steering wheel out of the driver's grip causing the vehicle to drift to the extreme left. The contact regained control by jerking the steering wheel in the opposite direction with excessive force. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who failed to accurately diagnose the vehicle. The contact was advised to disengage the cruise control feature while driving. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,500.

The forward collision-avoidance assist, FCA is the main component that failed on me numerous times before inevitably ending in a car accident. The car is currently with my insurance company StateFarm, to assess the damage and to see if it was a total loss or not. They have had it since the accident that occurred back on August 20, 2022. The car had multiple electrical issues that unfortunately were temperamental as to when they would happen so because of that I started to take video on my phone when ever they did happen to show the dealership of the malfunction when it happened so they could see with their own eyes that there was a problem. I attempted to have the dealership fix it but the GM nicely said, "if it doesn't happen with us then it then it didn't really happen and we don't care if you have video or not! That's our policy so sorry about your luck!!!" it was the FCA and the lane keeping assistance that were the 2 main parts that malfunctioned that risked my safety and the safety of others. The FCA is what malfunctioned during the accident. It would randomly slam on the brakes as if I was about to hit something and the lights would flash and the beeping would sound each time it did this even though there was nothing around me. The other times it had done this to me prior it would only happen 1 time and then it would go back to normal but the date of the accident it continued to malfunction over and over again. There were sensors broken on the car from the moment i drove it off the lot back in April of 2022 and have had replaced. The FCA had been malfunctioning Since early June and I first reported it to Kia back on June 22nd 2022. Kia just sent me a letter confirming the FCA does malfunction but its to late now! I have so much more to report but not enough space to tell you everything! They could of helped me when I showed them proof but they didn't care. Their negligence risked my life and my children's lives!!!

Center cluster screen on dash is not turning on with vehicle. It is as safety concern as none of my safety alerts are working. Lane assist, emergency braking, cruise, etc. I have reported to Kia America and have not heard back.
