Dashboard / cluster screen went completely black on two separate occasions while driving.
See attached document for complaint. My trim is falling off my kia. I called Kia pursuant to the enclosed recall and I was told there is no remedy yet. Are you kidding. Glue!

Also the value of the vehicle for resale plummets. It looks terrible with rubber exposed and rubber is falling off. Do something or sue Kia as a class

Fortunately no car was following closely so no other vehicle was hit with flying debris. Also, our interior visor was closed so we were not struck by any of the flying glass. We pulled off and removed any loose glass that could fly off and proceeded to the dealership. They were submitting warranty infor

0n 12-23-2025 I left our Kia Telluride with the engine running for 4 hours in our cul-de-sac. Eventually our neighbors told us the vehicle was running.
