What owners wrote
The steering wheel and seats vibrate while driving between 60-80MPH. This is a known issue on tellurides and palisades that is fixed by replacing with a properly balanced driveshaft. However the dealer refuses to proceed and kia consumer affairs has been difficult to work with.
I drove my brand new telluride off the lot with 11 miles on it. Before I gained speeds over 50MPH my vehicle would jerk as it changed gears and the RPM increased. After I stopped at stop signs or red lights and then began to accelerate again, the car would jerk, the engine would rev up and no acceleration would happen. If I kept pressing the gas, eventually the car would jerk again, catch the gear and drive. This happened every single time I would stop and go again.
