2020 Kia Telluride SX AWD – Stunning Vehicle, But Paint & Engine Failures with No Accountability We bought a 2020 Kia Telluride SX AWD in White Pearl with black wheels and the beautiful brown leather inte Engine Failures with No Accountability We bought a 2020 Kia Telluride SX AWD in White Pearl with black wheels and the beautiful brown leather interior. We fell in love with this vehicle—from the premium features like the holographic MPH display to the spacious, upscale cabin, advanced safety tech, and all-wheel drive performance. Kia made something special here, and we were proud to drive it. But within just 3–4 years, we ran into two major failures—both widely known issues—and Kia refused to take full responsibility. 1. Engine Failure / Oil Consumption The engine began burning oil at an abnormal rate and had to be replaced. Kia only paid for half the cost, leaving us with a $4,000+ bill, even though this issue is common in late-model Tellurides and has been widely reported. 2. White Pearl Paint Peeling Soon after, the paint started peeling in large sheets—mainly on the roof and pillars. Our trusted body shop and insurance adjuster both confirmed this is a known factory defect caused by poor paint adhesion. Kia’s Consumer Affairs department denied our claim—not based on the facts, but because the car had just passed the 100,000-mile mark. This has nothing to do with mileage or wear. It’s a quality issue—plain and simple. We now face another $3,000+ repair just to repaint a vehicle that was still under five years old when these problems occurred. This SUV has been garage-kept, well-maintained, and treated with care. Kia: We were loyal fans of this vehicle. You had us. But your lack of accountability for repeated, well-documented manufacturing defects has completely eroded that trust. 👉 Please contact us directly to make this right. We have full documentation: repair quotes, paint photos, insurance verification, and the Consumer Affairs denial. You still have the opportunity to do the right thing—for us and for the many others dealing with these same problems. Until then, we’ll continue sharing our experience to help others make informed decisions. More
