    How do you rate the Telluride's 630-watt, 10-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system?

    Yes I do. I also notice that our AWD system is different. I have 4 Drive Modes and 3 Terrain mode. LED headlights and regular bulbs lights in the rear and we have only 3 models available EX, SX , SX Limited

    Optimum sound setting for 10 speaker H/K on SX.

    Are you sure you have 10 speakers as I counted 12 in my H/K system...1 dash mount + 2 each doors front and rear and 1 each side of 3rd row seat and a Sub in cargo area.

    Telluride issues— battery dead as can be

    I recently purchased the Noco genius g3700 charger/ trickle charge is it good enough rated 3.5A. Or do I need higher amperage.

    Does the Telluride engine automatically shut off after 30 minutes of idling?

    Sorry to hear that. Maybe it wasn't properly installed, or a glitch during the upload or download. I have a degree in electronics and optics. I prefer to do my own servicing since I am very meticulous in all work I do either electro or mechanical.

    battery

    I take about a month of holidays in the winter to take a break from the snow and cold weather. I though I would mention for those who do the same , you should keep your battery on a trickle charge using an AGM capable battery charger as some electronics are on all the time. If you disconnect the...

    Weather info not loading for anyone else?

    With my update instead getting that weather loading I get the outside temp and warning if temp is 4C or lower, it is less annoying since we don't have HD radio stations in our area yet.

    Does the Telluride engine automatically shut off after 30 minutes of idling?

    My previous comment was to explain the concern of the member Smolenski7. Please read his post !!! Yes I agree with you, but mine will restart if I'm at a stop while in drive mode if the engine has been off for a little while exactly to prevent battery drainage. And when you are parked with...

    Does the Telluride engine automatically shut off after 30 minutes of idling?

    The stop feature is for fuel management supposedly reducing fuel consumption. But No it not hard on the starter since these starter are heavy duty ,unusually tested to handle roughly 200,000 starts as oppose to regular starter tested at 50,000. My comment was about the engine restarting if you...

    Engine lifespan

    It does help somewhat but not to the extent that some will make you believe. That statement is according to my automotive engineer friend.

    Canadian Telluride Roll Call!

    There are several Telli and Pali in my city, but again there are many Porches, Range Rovers, Lamborghini ect. Lots of big spenders here for a city of 140,000 in population. And several custom built motorcycles as well for that matter. Check out a friend of mine designs on the internet Roger...

    Korean carmakers Genesis, Kia, Hyundai take top marks in JD Power’s annual quality survey

    Take these reports with a grain of sand as they have been wrong on many reports. JD Power and all others have some degree of bias. I know this by experience and doing my own research with owners of different brands. They won't tell you how many owners has had problems unless you have used the...

    Who has road rage issues?

    I also get very angry if the driver is texting while driving and constantly swerving between the soft shoulder and center line. And these same idiots holding traffic for a few minutes at a traffic light when it has turned green. Go figure they never learn!

    Vibration

    Have those engineers show you were to hook up the tow truck hook as there is no tow hooks in the front or rear, this an issue that was brought to my attention by a very reputable towing company. Please share the results as no one seems to address this problem including Kia if in need of a...
